"Second Uncle, we're leaving just like that?"
The middle-aged man looked at the old man in front of him, his eyes filled with unwillingness. They had been ambushing here for too long, and during that time, they had secretly clashed with the Lan Family. Their losses were huge.
Even if the Sha Family had a huge influence, this private confrontation still caused the Sha Family to feel pain.
Of course, the Lan Family did not have it easy either.
But these were not important. For the sake of the family, sacrifices were unavoidable. It was just that their mission was not completed.
They still had not found the Lan Family's young miss!
"If we leave just like that, what if the young miss is in the next group?"
Seeing that his Second Uncle did not respond, Sha He quickly went forward, and tried to persuade him one last time: "Our spy has been removed. Although we received news that the Lan Family's young miss is no longer in Star Sand City, but what if the Lan Family deliberately released the news?"
The old man in hemp sighed, and said: "Even if it's to confuse us, we should leave this time."
"Why?" Sha He did not understand.
The old man in hemp drew a circle in the air, and said: "Because we don't have the final say in this place.
Even though the Sha in the Blue Sands Continent refers to our Sha Family, but we cannot cover the sky with one hand. This time, we were too hasty in our actions, and had already incurred the dissatisfaction of some powerhouses. If this continues, even if those powerhouses do not change sides and support the Lan Family, they will still make some small moves in private.
At this crucial time, any small factor that is disadvantageous to our Sha Family, could become a fatal threat in the future. "
"I understand the logic, but if we let the Lan Family's young miss go back, wouldn't our losses be even greater?
The threat in the future will not be less than now, right? "
"Who said we let her go back?"
Sha He was startled, "If we leave, won't she be able to go back?"
The old man in hemp sneered: "We are not the only ones who do not want the Lan Family's young miss to go back.
If not, why didn't she grow up in the Lan Family?
Why put her in such a remote city?
To put it nicely, it's the ancestral land, but to put it bluntly, it's just a small remote city. "

Spirit power flowed in front, forming a new Saint Talisman.
It was the Heavenly Saint Arm.
Zi Chen lightly tapped the Unpredictable Brush in his hand, and the Heavenly Energy Saint Arm flew towards Little Mute, who subconsciously caught it and kept it.
This was already the fifth Heavenly Energy Saint Arm that Zi Chen had given her. Shan Ya and Noah also had a few.
Looking at Zi Chen who was still writing the talisman, Noah's face broke into an excited smile.
This was because every Holy Talisman represented a blue crystal coin. Once he left this boundless mountain range, he would become a rich man.
At the very least, they were much wealthier than they were in the past hundred years.
He could not wait any longer.
Along the way, Zi Chen had been trying to comprehend the black jade piece, but he was always a hair's breadth away from success.
It was the same brush stroke, but the other party could cause the sky to fall and the earth to rend.
On the other hand, his brush could only leave an extremely faint mark in the air.
The difference was clear at a glance.
However, other than his cultivation, it was more about his comprehension of soulforce.
It could be said that Zi Chen had been trying to comprehend it for so long, but he still hadn't reached the threshold. This showed how difficult it was.
Fortunately, the journey was long, and he had plenty of time.
Noah walked over from afar with two little beasts. Zi Chen put away the Unpredictable Brush, raised his head, and stretched his arms.
An unknown bird flew over the treetops, heading into the distance.
The bonfire rose, and the aroma of barbecued meat filled the air.
After eating, everyone stayed where they were. Some rested, while others cultivated.
The next day, the sky brightened. The dense forest that did not see the sun seemed damp and cold.
Fortunately, this did not affect them, who were at the Soul Void Realm.
After walking for more than a hundred feet, a strange cry came from the forest. Following that, birds flew into the sky one after another. There were dozens of them.
This was not the first time they had encountered such a situation. Sometimes, they would find groups of exotic beasts, such as wolves.
Even if they released a little bit of their aura, these exotic beasts would flee in panic.
This time, they came to the habitat of a flock of birds.
In the blink of an eye, another few days had passed. Zi Chen still did not make any progress in comprehending the black jade piece.
He was just one step away from the door, and no matter what, he could not cross it.
"This bastard."
Noah's curse came from the side. The soul light on his body flashed, and the bird droppings on his face disappeared without a trace.
In these few days, they had encountered many flocks of birds that were resting here.
Noah walked in front of Zi Chen and asked, "Still no progress?"
Zi Chen glanced at Noah and did not speak. He added a piece of firewood to the bonfire. The light of the fire shone on Zi Chen's face.
Noah put down a pile of firewood and squatted beside Zi Chen. He scratched his head, glanced at Zi Chen again, and asked, "How much longer until we reach our destination?"
"If you have something to say, ask directly."
Zi Chen said indifferently. This time, at Little Mute's request, she and Shan Ya went to hunt for little beasts. Noah returned from collecting firewood.
Being seen through by Zi Chen with a glance, Noah quietly looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "Is Little Mute really the lady that we need to escort?"
"What do you think?"
This time, Zi Chen did not even look at Noah.
Noah shook his head and said, "I don't think so. Although I don't know who the employer is, it can't be that they spent so much just to protect such a lady, right?"
Zi Chen looked at Noah, and the expression in his eyes changed a little.
Noah hurriedly said, "Don't misunderstand. I don't mean anything else. Even if Little Mute is not the lady, I will still protect her to the destination."
"I don't know either."
Zi Chen gave an answer, which made Noah stunned.
"How can I be clear about the plans of those big shots?
We are just runaways. We are paid to solve the problem. Naturally, we will do what others ask us to do. "
Under the illumination of the bonfire, a light seemed to appear in the distance. Zi Chen looked up and saw a bird flying away.
Hearing the sound of wings flapping, Noah's eyes were filled with anger. "This bastard."
In these few days, Noah had been constantly passing by flocks of birds and had received a lot of 'care'.
After a night of silence, they continued their journey the next day.
They flew at a low altitude during the day and stopped to rest at night. Several days passed.
This evening, everyone who had been on the road for a day stopped again.
They began to divide the work. Some collected firewood, some hunted beasts, and some started a fire.
"Not good, Zi Chen. Someone has been here."
Noah, who went out to collect firewood, suddenly ran over in a panic. "I found hidden footprints less than a day ago."
Zi Chen's expression changed slightly, and he looked to the side.
Little Mute, who had not gone hunting, immediately came to Zi Chen's side. This almost became a conditioned reflex.
"Let's go and take a look."
Following Noah's guidance, Zi Chen saw the ashes of the bonfire. Although they had been specially treated, they could still be seen.
Noah said, "The concealment technique is very subtle. It's on par with mine. Fortunately, it met me. If it were anyone else, they would definitely have missed it."
Zi Chen glanced at the traces and said, "Indeed, no one can find it except for you."
Noah was a little proud because this was a unique skill.
But then, Zi Chen said, "Because this is the trace you covered up this morning."
"What?" Noah was stunned and looked at Zi Chen in confusion.
Shan Ya and Little Mute were also puzzled.
Why did the traces during the day appear again at night? They had been walking for a day.
Zi Chen raised his head and looked up into the sky, only to see beams of light appearing between the trees.
Those lights were eyes.
