Chapter 421: Chapter 418: Premonition
ng Canglan said softly, “Our sect sincerely intends to assist the Princely Heir and knows what you need.”
Chu Zhiyuan looked thoughtfully in the direction marked on the map and smiled, “Are there any top experts or Great Grandmasters in the Dayou Camp?”
ng Canglan replied, “If there were Great Grandmasters, how could they be so miserable?”
Chu Zhiyuan asked, “Which Evil Sects are involved?”
“There’s the Huaisu Sect, and the Heavenly Heart Sect. Although they’re Evil Sects, their actions aren’t that malevolent; otherwise, they would’ve been expelled from the army long ago.”
“An Evil Sect is an Evil Sect, all deserve to be eliminated,” Chu Zhiyuan said indifferently, “Huaisu Sect… Heavenly Heart Sect…”
He knew of these two Evil Sects.
The Evil Sects each harness Outer Heaven Power, using extre thods to seek extre advancent.
These extre thods are almost all about plundering and devouring.
The cultivation thod of a True Sect is to refine oneself to seize the mysteries of heaven, while the Evil Sect’s thod is to seize the opportunities of others.
Slaughter is their foundation, almost without exception, and their actions defy human nature, instilling fear and shock.
Therefore, monsters from the Evil Sects all deserve to be eliminated, ensuring no innocent person is wronged.
The Huaisu Sect and the Heavenly Heart Sect are no exception.
ng Canglan said, “If the Phoenix Camp were to make a move, the Dayou Camp would be no match.”
Chu Zhiyuan pondered silently.
ng Canglan noticed his hesitation and asked puzzledly, “Does the Princely Heir still doubt our sect?”
Chu Zhiyuan said, “My intuition is quite accurate and stronger than most.”
ng Canglan hastily added, “Does the Princely Heir sense sothing amiss?”
She was well aware of Chu Zhiyuan’s famous intuition.
Chu Zhiyuan slowly said, “My intuition tells that sothing is wrong with the Dayou Camp, containing imnse danger.”
ng Canglan lightly furrowed her brows, staring at him intently.
Chu Zhiyuan said, “Miss ng, do you have a solution?”
ng Canglan hesitated, “Could there be a Great Grandmaster in the Dayou Camp?”
Chu Zhiyuan replied, “Even if they’re not a Great Grandmaster, they’re almost equivalent and pose a significant danger to .”
“…I will send soone to check,” ng Canglan said slowly.
Chu Zhiyuan said, “No need to send anyone else; I will go personally. Miss ng, accompany .”
ng Canglan tightly pressed her lips, her eyes flickering.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, “I must trouble Miss ng. What do you say?”
ng Canglan suddenly smiled, “The Princely Heir is indeed overly suspicious.”
Chu Zhiyuan said, “It’s not that I’m overly suspicious, but your sect’s actions don’t inspire confidence.”
“…Alright,” ng Canglan slowly nodded.
“Then let’s set off now.”
“…Okay.” ng Canglan nodded solemnly.
——
The mountain peak stood majestically, with a giant boulder towering at its summit.
At first glance, Eagle Beak Cliff appears like an eagle diving down, about to snatch a rabbit from the ground.
Chu Zhiyuan and ng Canglan appeared midway up the opposite mountain peak.
Situated deep within a forest, they gazed at the distant Eagle Beak Cliff.
Chu Zhiyuan was still dressed in the Biluo True Robe, while ng Canglan had changed into a dark green combat uniform.
Their clothes blended seamlessly with the surrounding forest, indistinguishable from each other.
Under Chu Zhiyuan’s Insight, he could clearly see the opposite mountain peak.
He imdiately discerned that there were only 1,136 people here, far from the original number of the Dayou Camp.
After scanning each of their experts, he found two Grandmasters, fourteen Innates, with the rest being less than Innate.
This strength is already noteworthy in the entire Da Jing army.
Chu Zhiyuan turned to look at ng Canglan, “The numbers don’t seem right.”
He had already used his Insight, confirming that there were no caves or hiding places, indeed only 1,136 people.
ng Canglan’s eyes shone brightly as she used her Eyesight to observe the opposite side, her brows knitted, also sensing sothing amiss.
She also had a Miracle Technique that enhanced her Eyesight, allowing her to clearly see every spot and person on the opposite side.
Everyone could be seen unless they were in the shaded area, avoiding the sunlight.
During this season, with such sunny weather, most were basking in the sun.
After so quick calculations, she also sensed the inconsistency and frowned, “Could it be they’re divided into two groups?”
“Did you see your sect’s disciples?” Chu Zhiyuan asked.
ng Canglan nodded.
Chu Zhiyuan said, “How about calling them over to ask?”
“…Alright.” ng Canglan ultimately agreed, then whistled a few crisp bird calls.
These bird calls mixed with the rustling wind, drawing no attention at all.
But for a trained Wuyou Sect disciple, they were instantly recognizable.
A quarter of an hour later, a skinny young man slipped into the forest.
He was an unassuming young man whose presence was easily overlooked in a crowd. He clasped his fists in salute, “Greetings, Holy Daughter.”
He saw Chu Zhiyuan next to ng Canglan but only focused on ng Canglan.
ng Canglan gently waved her hand, “Junior Brother Zhou, no need for formalities. What’s the situation?”
“Holy Daughter, they have lost the will to fight and are preparing to surrender.”
ng Canglan said, “They’re surrendering without a fight?”
“It’s already hard enough to find food; no one wants to endure this hardship any longer.”
“Hmm, that’s true. Staying in this secluded forest isn’t comfortable at all,” ng Canglan nodded slightly.
With Gang Qi protecting her body, it was sowhat more bearable. Without it, staying in the wilderness would be incredibly botherso.
Even though it’s winter and most animals are in hibernation, there are always so that aren’t and continuously harass them.
“This hardship is intolerable, and complaints are plenty. They probably can’t hold out for more than a few days before venturing out voluntarily.”
ng Canglan asked, “What about the others?”
“We’ve parted ways with the others. Too many people leave traces easily, and there’s not enough food. We had to split up.”
“Where did they go?”
“They went in different directions, one north and one south.”
Chu Zhiyuan spoke slowly, “Can you find where they are?”
The young man looked at ng Canglan.
ng Canglan said softly, “Junior Brother Zhou, you can speak freely. He’s not an outsider.”
Zhou Zhijia said, “They left marks, so we can find each other.”
“…Please help locate the other two spots,” ng Canglan glanced at Chu Zhiyuan, understanding his intention.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled.
“Yes.” Zhou Zhijia gritted his teeth and agreed.
——
Zhou Zhijia took the lead, with Chu Zhiyuan and ng Canglan following.
Zhou Zhijia searched for marks in front, moving swiftly, without hesitation or delay.
ng Canglan whispered, “Is there sothing wrong with these two teams of people?”
She noticed Chu Zhiyuan’s expression, feeling it wasn’t quite right.
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, “I hope I’m wrong.”
“Wrong about what?” ng Canglan asked, puzzled.
Chu Zhiyuan said, “Are the experts of the Huaisu Sect and the Heavenly Heart Sect not present here?”
ng Canglan looked at Zhou Zhijia, “Are the Evil Sect experts not on this side?”
Zhou Zhijia nodded, “Indeed, they’re not here.”
Chu Zhiyuan said, “Could they each be leading a group?”
“…It seems they each are leading a group.”
“Does it have sothing to do with them?” ng Canglan asked in a hushed voice.
Chu Zhiyuan said, “Hopefully, it has nothing to do with them… I just have a bad premonition.”
ng Canglan seed puzzled, looking at him without understanding.
Chu Zhiyuan snorted, “Evil Sects, didn’t you think of anything?”
“Evil Sects, killing?” ng Canglan frowned, “Could they have gone out to wreak havoc among the populace?”
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, saying no more.
“Oh?” Zhou Zhijia suddenly frowned, stopping and looking around.
“Senior Brother Zhou, what is it?”
“Strange, the marks have disappeared.” Zhou Zhijia turned to ng Canglan, scratching his head, “They are really gone.”
ng Canglan looked around, frowning, “It seems they’re not around.”
If soone were secretly watching, she would definitely sense it.
