“Bah!”

The fifth brother of the Black Cloud Stronghold spat at the bearded man who was lying on the ground.

“We told him to listen, but he won’t listen. Then, we can’t be blamed for being ruthless.”

As the two of them spoke, they casually dug a hole and threw the third brother of the Black Cloud Stronghold into it. Then, they hastily filled up some soil and finished the job.

“This…”

Luo Ningyu frowned and looked at Lin Bai.

Everything happened too suddenly. Not to mention the third brother of the Black Cloud Stronghold, even Lin Bai and Luo Ningyu, the two bystanders, did not react in time.

“Shh…”

Lin Bai shook his head and signaled for Luo Ningyu to be quiet.

Not long after, the sound of two footsteps gradually faded away from the shadows in front of them. Only then did Lin Bai and Luo Ningyu speak again.

“There is indeed something strange in the Black Cloud Stronghold. It might be what you said…”

“Someone is coming!”

Lin Bai and Luo Ningyu held their breath as best as they could and hid themselves in the darkness.

Not long after.

A figure sneakily appeared in the small open space in front of them.

That person bent his back and looked around with a sharp gaze. He slowly moved to the side of the Black Cloud Stronghold.

However, the man didn’t know if he realized that the defense of the Black Cloud Stronghold was too tight. He hesitated and stopped in his tracks.

Lin Bai and Luo Ningyu looked at each other and nodded.

“Hey!”

“Qi Long!”

Lin Bai shouted in a low voice.

“You guys are here. It’s easy for me to find you!”

When Qi Long heard someone calling his name, he couldn’t help but shiver. When he heard that it was a familiar voice, he let out a long sigh of relief and quickly ran over.

“What are you doing here?” Lin Bai asked coldly.

“No, it’s not good!” Qi Long stammered. When he got closer, Lin Bai realized that Qi Long’s face was pale, his clothes tattered, and there was a blood mark on his shoulder.

“What’s wrong?” Luo Ningyu asked, a bad premonition in her heart.

“Just, just now, the convoy was attacked. A group of people came under the cover of night, and there were beastmasters inside!”

Qi Long steadied his breathing and finished his sentence in one breath:

“We weren’t a match at all. After asking your spirit beast, it pointed me in a general direction. Only then did I know that you were here! So, I quickly came to get reinforcements!”

In the convoy, when it came to cultivation, Lin Bai and Luo Ningyu were ranked first and second. There was an indelible gap between them and the rest of the group.

Lin Bai looked into Qi Long’s eyes and did not say a word.

Before he left the convoy, he had left Little Black, Little Red and Little Green there to prevent a night attack.

Little Black, Little Red and Little Green were much stronger than Qi Long and the others when they worked together.

However… the three brothers from the Black Cloud stronghold who wanted to cause trouble for them were already dead, so who was the one who attacked the convoy in the night?

Lin Bai glanced at Luo Ningyu, who was also confused.

Suddenly.

Lin Bai thought of the group of people who were hiding in the dense forest not far away when he killed the fourth brother of the Black Cloud Stronghold… could it be them?

“Let’s not waste time, let’s go.”

Luo Ningyu turned her head and rushed toward the convoy.

“Tell me, how many of them are there?”

As they sped through the forest, Lin Bai asked Qi Long.

As the saying went, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle.

If they could identify their enemies in advance, they would be able to make plans in advance, and they would be able to handle the situation at the scene with ease.

“Four martial cultivators, two beastmasters, and over forty low-level martial artists.”

Qi Long didn’t think that Lin Bai’s question was a big deal, so he answered honestly:

“We’re almost there. I hope they’re fine!”

Lin Bai looked up ahead. They were indeed a few miles away from the caravan’s camp. However, the dense forest ahead was dark, and only the slanted moonlight could be seen. The distant sky was also silent.

Lin Bai subconsciously looked at Qi Long, but he saw a savage smile on Qi Long’s face under the moonlight.

Buzz!

Lin Bai immediately took out the small cauldron, stomped on the tree trunk, and rushed in Qi Long’s direction.

“Hey, you found out? It’s too late!”

Qi Long seemed to have expected Lin Bai to make a move. Just as Lin Bai made his move, his right hand suddenly stretched out.

Crack!

A series of metal sounds were heard, accompanied by a series of air-piercing sounds!

Lin Bai caught a glimpse of a few hidden weapons rushing over from the corner of his eye. He couldn’t care less about catching Qi Long, so he could only protect himself with the small cauldron.

Bang!

The hidden weapons all smashed onto the small cauldron and fell to the ground.

When Lin Bai raised his head again, Qi Long had already pulled away from them. He stood on a thick tree trunk and looked down at the two of them.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Qi Long shook his head, clapped his hands, and praised,

“As expected of that Lin Bai. He actually discovered our plan so quickly… However, why are you struggling? It’s useless!”

“There’s an ambush around.”

Luo Ningyu’s feet flashed as she arrived behind Lin Bai. The two of them leaned back against each other as they vigilantly observed their surroundings.

“Well done.”

A person dressed in nocturnal clothing appeared in the forest. His figure flashed as he appeared beside Qi Long.

“Lord Lu!”

Qi Long respectfully bowed.

Lu?

Lin Bai frowned as he wanted to see this person clearly. However, the light was too dark, and he was dressed in nocturnal clothing. It was impossible to see him clearly.

Lu’s voice was very soft as he said, “Let’s end this quickly!”

Immediately, among those who were hiding in the darkness, six people emerged from the darkness. Pairs of eyes locked onto Lin Bai and Lu Bai, and that gaze was like looking at lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

“They are very strong. If it’s a 1v2, they still have a chance of winning. Let’s 1v3… and there’s also that person above, whose strength can’t be seen clearly. This isn’t good.”

Lin Bai’s sharp gaze swept the surroundings, and very quickly, he had a rough estimation of the situation.

“Heh, you won’t be able to escape! These past few days, I’ve been hiding by your side. Do you think that I’ve been hiding for nothing? I’ve long understood your strength!”

Qi Long laughed loudly. He glanced at Lin Bai, and then his gaze locked onto Luo Ningyu:

“Lord Lu, this woman…”

“Mm, do whatever you want with her.” Lord Lu waved his hand as if he didn’t care about this at all.

Qi Long licked his tongue when he heard this. His eyes were spitting fire. “Do it!”

With an order, the six people who were already prepared moved out together.

Bang!

However, at this moment, a blue figure rose into the air and smashed heavily onto the ground.

The earth shook and the mountains shook!

The ground was smashed to pieces, and dust and gravel flew everywhere. The six people had no choice but to stop, and at the same time, they also hid the figures of Lin Bai and Qi Long.

“What are you waiting for? Hurry, charge in, don’t let them escape!” Qi Long shouted, asking the six people to quickly enter the dust.

“Chase, they’re going that way!”

Lu Ze’s gaze was sharp. With a light step, he rose high into the air and flew in the direction of the Black Cloud Stockade.

The remaining people followed closely behind.

Not long after.

Lu stopped not far away from the Black Cloud Stockade.

“Lord Lu, why, why did they stop?” Qi Long did not understand.

“There’s no need to chase.” Lu sneered. “Heh, they have run into the Wu Mountain and will never be able to come out again!”
