Not only air-cooled.
Farther, it's more chilling.
How long has that traitor been here?
Is it that it just came in tonight, taking advantage of the fact that everyone at Tiecha Mountain is searching for the soul of the young master, and there's a lack of vigilance, or has it been hiding here for a while already?
The most dangerous place is the safest place?
The accuracy of the old black woman's senses and hearing might not be as accurate...
No wonder there were so many immortals with issues before, it didn't notice?
Actually, it's not so much that the traitor has arrived.
Instead, what's terrifying is that it arrived... but hasn't killed anyone yet.
It opened my door, why didn't it attack me when I wasn't on guard?
If it had been here earlier, it could have killed Ar Lin'an and countless other gentlemen...
Wu Jinlan and others left the room and walked into the courtyard.
Almost everyone looked up at me, the anxiety in their eyes became even more intense.
After I descended from the roof, Wu Jinlan moved a little forward, but he didn't actively ask.
I heaved a long sigh of relief before saying, "The three escaped fish from the White Wolf Cave have arrived."
Another moment of silence, and I realized that using 'escaped fish' might not be suitable for them, as they ran away themselves.
Under the thunder, two celestial law practitioners lose their resistance to fight back, and two white-eyed wolves escape. In the White Wolf Cave, the half-corpse practitioner, who has not yet awakened, with a white-eyed wolf that is his shoulder and treads on a three shoulder's white-eyed wolf, also escapes.
"Not exactly escaped fish, after all, Tiecha Mountain is already in no position to take over the corpse pills." My words were not meant as a question to He Lin'an and others.
They don't have the ability to deal with the white-eyed wolves. The strength of these things is definitely not weak.
He Lin'an and the others exchanged glances, unsure of what to say.
"Lin'an, go notify Liu Taiyan, the deputy supervisor of the observatory, and give a simple explanation of the situation here." Wu Jinluan is more decisive.
He Lin'an called two professors and hurried out of the courtyard.
I pressed down on my forehead, dispersing the accumulated anger.
In a few words, I explained the situation that had just occurred.
Wu Jinlan's face was covered with a sheen of sweat, and the professors were equally nervous and worried.
"So... they want to kill the gentlemen without much effort, they haven't actually killed them, they've just been lying in wait, and in reality, they could also harm you..."
"Only that they still haven't harmed, let you find that they are here?"
"What is their purpose then? Is it not revenge? We have destroyed the White Wolf Cave..." Wu Jinlan analyzed, yet he seemed extremely troubled.
"It's the corpse pills! They have been lying in wait in order to better launch an attack! Or, are they waiting for the Tiecha Mountain cultivators and Liu Taiyan to leave Tiecha Mountain, so that they can rescue that half-corpse practitioner?"
My sentence carries two possible answers, two possibilities.
"One of the gentlemen stammered, 'But they exposed themselves... there was no need to reveal themselves now, that's not right.'"
"People are not perfect, and animals even less. It was Lu Daozhang and Ma Sanqi who caused the half-corpse practitioner to be unable to wake up. They must hate them deeply. Whether to act or not, they may also be hesitant and finally decide not to act? Just when they were discovered by Lu Daozhang?" Wu Jinluan analyzes and tests.
"Or, they want to deliberately appear in front of Tiecha Mountain cultivators and Liu Taiyan, making them face a dilemma. I replied thoughtfully after some consideration: "Liu Taiyan alone does not have enough strength to deal with three white-eyed wolves."
"The purpose of the white-eyed wolves may be the half-corpse practitioner, or the corpse pills. They want to ensure that Liu Taiyan and the Tiecha Mountain cultivators are separated. In this way, they might be able to get both ends? If one stays to guard the mountain, they will be attacked by everyone; if one goes with us to retrieve the pill, their strength will also be divided."
"I think my analysis also has many points that are hard to justify, but it's probably like this."
"In this way, they can get at least one place, and even possibly... get two places as well?" Another professor spoke up, his face covered with even more sweat.
"It's not that easy. If the Tiecha Mountain cultivators stay on the mountain, can they harm the half-corpse practitioner? Liu Taiyan comes with us, and there's Old Gong and Master Wei, not to mention your ability to summon thunder to control the white-eyed wolves. They can only be daydreaming." Wu Jinluan spoke with great confidence.
"I don't know how to respond."
Wu Jinluan's statement is indeed well-arranged.
Are the white-eyed wolves too foolish and unable to figure it out?
Or, are they thinking too clearly, and that's exactly what they want to happen?
To scare me on the side?
"Where are Old Gong and Master Wei? They went to help Tiecha Mountain?" Wu Jinluan's implication was that if Old Gong and Wei Youming were here, the white-eyed wolves would never be able to reach my room. They would definitely discover it first.
"It's an excuse to help." I nodded in agreement.
"You guys take turns guarding the night, let Lu Daozhang have a good rest, what's next is important, he can't be tired." Wu Jinluan ordered again.
The professors had no objections.
My head still felt slightly swollen, and I didn't sleep well beforehand. The affairs of the white-eyed wolves have become a constant worry for me.
This cannot be ignored at all. Based on my current contact with the horsemen's gods, the strength of the gods in some respects exceeds that of the horsemen's gods, and is even more likely to surpass that of the horsemen's god priests. This means that the white-eyed wolves are comparable to three true beings.
In that case, it's as if three cold and emotionless immortals have been watching me in the shadows!
This threat cannot be called small.
After returning to the room, someone closed the door for me, and I didn't sleep. It's impossible to sleep in this state of mind, so I can only sit cross-legged and adjust my breath and spirit.
The time passed quickly, and before dawn, I felt an indistinct presence of Old Gong returning. I didn't open my eyes to communicate with him.
I got up and left the room, and two gentlemen were standing at the door, and the others were standing in the courtyard. They had not slept all night, and they were all drowsy.
Wu Jinluan happened to come out of another room. He knew how to prioritize, so he got some rest.
He Lin'an, who had been pacing in the courtyard, immediately said to us upon seeing that we were awake, "The Tiecha Mountain cultivators and Deputy Supervisor Liu Taiyan are waiting inside the hall."
I nodded, about to signal him to lead the way, when I saw that several horsemen's gods were waiting outside the courtyard. The leader, in fact, was Liang Yu.
Liang Yu's pretty face looked very tense and a little pale.
After I and Wu Jinluan went over, He Lin'an was about to follow, but Wu Jinluan told him to rest first and to nurture his spirit before anything else.
So the rest of the professors didn't follow either, and only we were led by Liang Yu and others to meet with Liu Taiyan and the Tiecha Mountain cultivators.
The statue of the black old woman in the hall looked incredibly approachable.
However, I felt nothing much, because the white-eyed wolves here seemed to be unopposed. I think, the black old woman is just like that, more symbolic significance than actual strength.
At least, as long as they don't meet her face-to-face, she can't kill anyone or the wolves on her own.
I didn't speak, and Wu Jinlan also didn't open his mouth. He just furrowed his brow, as if deep in thought.
"For the time being, we don't know how they got in. The black old lady didn't hear or see them. It seems they are waiting for a suitable opportunity to reveal themselves," said Liu Taiyan.
"Is the opportunity me? Why?" I frowned and asked.
