Sure enough, a dark shadow appeared where the two had just been standing, and a person holding a long, narrow sword slowly emerged from the shadows.
“Night Elves!” Zaun blurted out. He had seen these natural assassins before in the Wu King’s mansion. They had left a deep impression on him because they could leap in the shadows.
“The Shadow Pavilion?” Yu Yanluo uttered a different word.
“Madam Yu is indeed very knowledgeable,” a laugh rang out. “However, while many Night Elves are indeed hired as assassins by Shadow Tower, not all Night Elves are members of Shadow Tower.”
The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw several people slowly walking in from the cave entrance.
The middle-aged man at the head wore a feathered crown and a green cloak, which, under the illumination of the surrounding snow-capped mountains and stone walls, faintly shimmered with iridescent light.
He was riding a huge gray wolf, which was even larger than the Siberian tiger in his previous life. Even from a distance, he could feel the murderous intent in its eyes and the sharpness of its fangs.
It suppressed a low growl from its throat, and wisps of visible cold air spread out.
"The Azure Wolf King!" Zu'an was no stranger to this ferocious beast. In order to help Daji break through, he had been acquiring the Azure Wolf King's Fang. He had also fought against the Azure Wolf pack in the secret realm during the Crown Prince's assessment, so he had a deep impression of it.
Although the wolf king in front of him was not small, it was still not as big as those he had seen before, but its aura was unmatched by any of the wolf kings he had seen before.
"Kong Qing!" Yu Yanluo looked at the man on the back of the Canglang King with a wary expression, secretly reminding Zu An to be careful, "He is at least a late-stage Grandmaster, but he has never used his full strength. No one knows his true strength. Also, be careful not to stare into his eyes; he is extremely skilled in pupil techniques."
"Pupil technique..." Even without Yu Yanluo's reminder, Zu An dared not be careless. Last time, the two sides had a brief exchange at the Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce. When he saw Zu An and Jian Taiding, two Grandmasters, plus several Rank 9 experts, he could only flee in panic.
As the Wolf King stepped into the cave, it revealed its two companions, which had been hidden by its body.
A young woman dressed in a red wedding gown was quite beautiful, but her overall demeanor was extremely strange. She was so light and airy that she seemed as if she would be blown away by a gust of wind.
She was holding the hand of a child, who looked to be only five or six years old, shaking a rattle drum with an innocent and naive expression.
Zuan couldn't help but ask, "Are you rushing to a wedding ceremony, or is it a shotgun wedding?"
Kong Qing, who had been looking confident and in control, couldn't help but freeze upon hearing this.

I'm working hard to finish the second chapter before midnight.
It was a bit painful when I first tried to get back to my usual routine of updating twice a week. It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
But thinking about how some readers gave me a reward yesterday for updating the second chapter, I felt both ashamed and touched. How could I let down such a group of enthusiastic readers?
