The commotion was quickly noticed by Lin Xuan, who had been secretly lurking inside.
Fortunately, he managed to blend into the last group of people entering through the layers of fog. The guard saw that the group was dressed in black and that the leader was someone he knew, so he didn't check their identities. He simply told them to hurry back and then let them leave.
After entering the camp, Lin Xuan took advantage of the others' inattention and slipped away to a relatively secluded corner. Then, he took out a piece of emerald green jade, which contained an extreme spiritual energy.
However, the jade was so well concealed that no one else could discover its existence unless the Demon Clan Chief Feng Qizi himself came.
Within this realm shrouded in demonic energy, this jade pendant will become his inexhaustible source of power.
Therefore, the reason why the guard was completely relaxed was simply because even if someone from the Great Thousand Worlds really managed to sneak in, they would only be faced with demonic energy and no spiritual energy whatsoever. Just like a fish out of water, they would die very quickly.
Therefore, the so-called level one alert is nothing more than a formality; it appears to be tense on the surface, but in reality, it is extremely lax.
The captain of the guard wasn't worried at all that someone from the wider world might sneak over there, so he simply walked past the group.
After realizing that his aura had become one with the demonic energy, Lin Xuan finally felt completely at ease. He then tiptoed outside and saw a drunken man walking towards him.
Perhaps he was too happy, the man staggered and swayed, barely managing to stand up against the wall when a torrent rushed down.
So drunk that he couldn't control himself, staggering and swaying, that long river eventually flowed onto his shoes.
As a warm light emanated from him, the man sensed something was wrong. He looked down, cursed instinctively, then stomped his foot angrily and left, grumbling under his breath.
The man continued walking forward, completely unaware that a dark figure had appeared behind him.
As they approached the tent, Lin Xuan gently helped the man up. The man squinted at Lin Xuan and said, "Thank you, brother... I'm not drunk, I can still walk in a straight line... hiccup..."
The man let out a foul-smelling burp, followed by a wave of stench. The smell was so unpleasant that Lin Xuan, standing beside him, felt a surge of sourness and astringency. He must have exerted a great deal of effort to hold back from vomiting.
Fortunately, after they sent him back to his tent, the man even pulled Lin Xuan to drink with him. The others didn't seem to notice anything amiss. Seeing that the man and Lin Xuan seemed to know each other well, they assumed Lin Xuan was the man's friend and invited him to drink with them.
Before they knew it, dozens of people in the tent had gotten drunk. When Lin Xuan saw that the time was right, he also fell to the ground, but he was pretending to be drunk.
Because he keenly sensed that someone had walked in from outside, and that person's aura was clearly unfamiliar.
Seeing a bunch of drunk people lying on the ground, the man in black frowned and said to the man beside him, "Grab a few and ask them if any strangers have broken in... Damn it, what kind of people are these? They're all dead drunk, and we're still on the front lines. Otherwise, if the general had given the order, I would have court-martialed them."
As soon as the man finished speaking through slightly gritted teeth, several men in black quickly walked out.
They then grabbed several people and forcibly lifted them up.
One of the men in black kept swaying back and forth around Lin Xuan, who was pretending to be drunk. At this moment, his heart was pounding in his throat. He knew very well that these people were looking for him, and if they found out, he would be dead.
Fortunately, nothing bad happened in the end. After the man passed by him, he grabbed a drunken man next to him. Coincidentally, the man he grabbed was the same one who had invited him to drink earlier.
"Name."
After being doused with cold water, Zhou Yi sobered up a bit and dared not get angry rashly. When he saw that it was his superior, his expression immediately became much more serious. He immediately stood up straight and said loudly, "Reporting to Your Excellency, this is Zhou Yi."
"Your position." The man repeated the cold words like an emotionless machine.
"Reporting to Your Excellency, I am the captain of the vanguard squad, stationed here on the orders of the Commandant," Zhou Yi said.
Then he took out his waist token, held it with both hands, slightly bent over, and handed it over.
The man glanced at the waist tag, then nodded and said, "That's right."
He continued, "Have you encountered any strangers, or anyone acting suspiciously?"
At this moment, Lin Xuan's heart was pounding in his throat.
"No." Zhou Yi, being a carefree person, shouted without thinking.
The man didn't suspect anything, nodded, and then looked at the others. The results of their interrogations were similar. After confirming one thing with each other, the man turned to Zhou Yi and said, "There's going to be a big battle soon, so don't get drunk again."
He turned and left.
On Monday, he chuckled, nodded, and said loudly, "Don't worry, sir."
"I can't rest assured."
The man stood at the door and replied.
This incident caused everyone who had been drunk in the tent to wake up. Although they were still a little drunk, they became much more sober.
At this moment, Zhou Yi was slightly startled by Lin Xuan's unfamiliar face. Suddenly remembering what the man had said earlier, his eyes widened abruptly.
"Captain Zhou, what's wrong with you? Are you having a fit?" someone whispered beside him.
This immediately attracted everyone's attention. Lin Xuan noticed it too, and quietly moved closer, sneering. He pretended to help the person up, but actually whispered, "You'd better not talk nonsense, or else..."
All the threats were left unsaid.
Before everyone got drunk, they all witnessed Zhou Yi bringing Lin Xuan in, so no one felt anything was wrong with the two of them being together.
However, a small group of people who were from the same hometown as Lin Xuan had no recollection of him whatsoever. Seeing that Zhou Yi's expression seemed a bit off, they quietly approached him.
Lin Xuan could clearly feel the abnormality around him. He whispered to Zhou Yiyong, a voice only the two of them could hear, "Explain to them that if I can't get out of here alive, you can forget about living peacefully either."
He paused here, then said, "This blade of mine was honed by the Dragon Clan Chief. It only needs to lightly pierce your skin, and the immense spiritual power will instantly reduce you to dust. Think it over carefully; let's see if your words are faster, or my blade is faster."
