"After the three of you left, the monsters were somehow provoked and caused widespread unrest in some remote areas."
The elder couldn't help but frown, activating the magic array while explaining what had just happened.
He dared not make a rash decision, after all, the matter of the magical beasts was no small matter, and they had lost most of their power because of it. Now, the only one who could rival them was Xie Zhou in front of him.
I can't say what the final outcome will be, but at least we won't lose too badly.
The elders dared not presume to judge Xie Zhou's other affairs, but at least in terms of force, he had earned their approval.
Why would Warcraft suddenly start acting up?
Xie Zhou couldn't help but wonder. Monsters imprisoned in dark places usually don't suddenly appear unless they are lured or deliberately brought here. Otherwise, how could it cause such a commotion? And why did it happen when he was leaving?
It's possible that someone knew beforehand that the elders had lost more than half a kilometer and had also left the area, so they decided to release the monsters to cause turmoil.
This opportunity would serve two purposes: firstly, it would greatly diminish the sect's arrogance, and secondly, it would temper his own prestige, showing outsiders that Xie Zhou was not as powerful as rumored.
But he knew things were far more complicated than he imagined; that person must have carefully calculated the timing before making a move, choosing such a time.
Xie Zhou unleashed his spiritual sense and suddenly sensed a large patch of dark demonic energy not far away, which was very likely a demonic beast that had escaped from the fog.
However, the remaining traces were too weak, with large areas only remaining in the distance.
The fact that this location was chosen shows that the person who planned it is no ordinary person.
"I'll go take a look!"
Upon hearing this, the elders were instantly shocked. Although they should quickly come up with a solution, they could not act rashly, otherwise losing a key general would be disastrous.
"It's better to think this through more carefully. We don't know why the monsters suddenly appeared, but if we act rashly now and get outmaneuvered, we'll lose most of our strength and won't be able to react in time. How will we save you then?"
Everyone expressed their unanimous rejection, feeling that the matter concerning Warcraft should be dealt with quickly, even if it was true, but also that casualties should be taken into account.
At such a critical moment, we must never let small gains lead to big losses.
“I just checked, and although the aura of the magical beasts along the way has become faint, we can still find its whereabouts by following its direction. If we continue to delay, I can't guarantee that it won't harm people later.”
The purpose of sects is to protect the people's livelihood and stability. But if such a strange phenomenon occurs and no one comes to help in time, what kind of discussion will it cause?
How could the sect dare to hold its head high in front of the world after that?
"Do you have any general direction? At least if you run into trouble, we'll have somewhere to look for you."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade her otherwise, the elder could only secretly relent and let her go.
At worst, we can send a message as soon as possible after something happens, so that they can get to the scene as quickly as possible. It's just a monster, and even if we lose most of our power, it shouldn't be a problem.
"The demonic energy is most concentrated in the direction of Medicine Ghost Valley. I plan to go there first and see if there is anything unusual. Then I will come back."
For some reason, the spirit insect suddenly appeared and frantically circled around Xie Zhou's body, expressing that it did not want her to go.
But ultimately, as a spirit insect, it can't stop much; it can only express its meaning objectively.
Xie Zhou mistakenly thought that the spirit insect was worried about his safety and did not consider the implications, so he went to Medicine Ghost Valley on his own.
Upon arriving at Medicine Ghost Valley, Xie Zhou was surprised to find that Song Wu had also appeared there for some unknown reason.
Before I could even think, I saw the other person slowly walking towards me.
"Xie Zhou? I was standing far away just now, and I thought I was seeing things, that it was someone else. I was just getting closer when I realized it really was you. What are you doing here?"
He was still dressed stunningly, twirling a fan in his hand, seemingly different from before.
Xie Zhou couldn't help but sigh softly, stepped forward, grabbed the fan in the other's hand, pulled it backward, and the two began to fight.
She knew perfectly well that it had been a long time since they had sparred like this. Now that they had met here, they might as well enjoy it while they could, otherwise, who knew when they would meet again?
Faced with Xie Zhou's fierce attack, Song Wu barely had time to react before switching from defense to offense. This was how the two had always sparred, one aggressively attacking while the other slowly and deliberately sparred until the point was reached.
It's truly delightful to meet here and compare these things with each other.
Xie Zhou momentarily forgot why he had come here in the first place. His mind seemed to be filled with thoughts of what to do next.
The two then played around like that for a while before sitting down to rest by a rock in Medicine Ghost Valley.
Xie Zhou then remembered the purpose of his visit. "By the way, Song Wu, how long have you been here?"
The other person thought about it seriously for a moment, then held up three fingers...
"You've been here for three hours. Have you seen anything unusual? For example, a magical beast?"
Upon hearing this, Song Wu couldn't help but chuckle and casually waved his hand. "You misunderstood. When I held up three fingers, it meant I had just arrived three seconds ago. So, I can't really answer your question about whether I saw any magical beasts, since we arrived around the same time."
How can you see anything in three seconds?
Xie Zhou couldn't help but purse his lips in complaint, but the other party didn't seem to be wrong. Perhaps it was because they hadn't seen each other for a long time that the two of them felt particularly close. This feeling had indeed not appeared for a long time, which made him recall the past.
"But you just mentioned Warcraft, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"I just activated the Bagua Formation with the elder, and it showed that there was a problem here, so I came over to take a look. I didn't expect to see you standing there as soon as I arrived. I thought it was a monster and was about to slash it with my sword, but I didn't expect it to be you."
Upon hearing this, Song Wu immediately patted his chest lightly, feigning an exaggerated expression, "Then according to you, I should still thank you for not approving it immediately with one click, but instead for letting me take my time."
The two couldn't help but laugh and joke for a while, but not long after, Xie Zhou felt the spirit insect that had been hiding in his sleeve crawl out.
Since arriving at Medicine Ghost Valley, it has felt a slight abnormality in its body, and has even transformed into a graceful human form, probably due to the influence of this place.
