Seeing Li Yu cautiously approaching, Hei Yi and Hei Er were puzzled and could only follow silently, their hearts filled with confusion.
With Li Yu's strength, even without that flying beast, he would be invincible and unstoppable if he charged in alone.
There's absolutely no need to be so cautious.
Having witnessed the battle just now, they really couldn't figure out how this Changshengmen stronghold could defeat Li Yu.
As for the Changsheng Sect activating the Star Orbit Cannon, that's even more of a pipe dream.
Li Yu is already so close, isn't it a bit too late to start now?
Although Hei Yi didn't know why Li Yu was doing this, he still decided to cooperate.
He turned to look at Hei Er, who immediately nodded in understanding.
He then took a deep breath, quietly mobilized his energy, and activated the ability to conceal his presence: Shadow Veil.
A dark shadow spread out from Hei Er's feet, enveloping Li Yu and his three brothers.
Their figures immediately blended into the already dark environment, and their aura was completely isolated, making them appear as if they had suddenly disappeared from a distance.
At this moment, Li Yu couldn't help but look at Hei Er. She didn't expect that this quiet guy had such useful abilities.
He looked again at the Awakened Ones of the Gate of Immortality in the distance, so that they could get a little closer.
Using their concealment abilities, Li Yu and his companions continued to approach, even managing to make out the faces of the guards inside the Changsheng Sect stronghold, without being detected by anyone.
Most of the people inside were elderly, but they were energetic and full of vitality, constantly moving around.
Before they had fully infiltrated, they could faintly hear the conversation of several awakened members of the Longevity Sect.
"Hey, did you guys hear some noise outside? It was quite loud, all crackling and popping."
"Hey, what could possibly happen? With Old Zhao personally overseeing things, we can hold the line even if the sky falls! Stop worrying and come over here to lend a hand and process this batch of newly arrived 'materials,' the higher-ups are pressing us hard."
The group spoke in a relaxed, even slightly anxious, tone, clearly unaware of the fierce battle that had just taken place outside and Zhao Jianan's death. They seemed completely oblivious to what was happening outside.
This completely unconcerned reaction stemmed entirely from their absolute trust in Zhao Jianan's abilities and their recognition of the Changsheng Sect's backing.
Even if someone from Jincheng came, they would probably suffer a loss at Old Zhao's hands.
Meanwhile, Li Yu and the three Hei brothers, who were hiding in the shadows, peeked out in the direction indicated by their words.
A large, densely packed group of emaciated refugees were being roughly driven and gathered together like livestock.
Several awakened members of the Changsheng Sect, responsible for escorting the group, stood around impatiently giving orders and reprimands.
"Hurry up! Don't dawdle. If you want to eat, you have to listen to me!"
Li Yu and the others were slightly surprised, not expecting that the new material the other party mentioned was actually a large group of refugees!
Hei San was just about to step forward, wanting to rush in with Li Yu and teach the Changsheng Sect people a lesson.
Unexpectedly, Li Yu raised her hand to stop her.
Upon seeing such a large number of refugees, Li Yu immediately changed his mind and decided not to rush to find the Star Orbit Cannon.
The Changsheng Sect's stronghold is hidden so deep, yet they went to great lengths to bring in so many refugees from other places...
He wanted to see what the other side wanted to do with these ordinary refugees.
So Li Yu, along with his three brothers, used the ability of 'Shadow Veil' to sneak silently into the Changsheng Sect stronghold through the gaps in the patrols of several low-ranking guards, just like real shadows.
The group lay in wait in the shadow of a protruding rock formation, observing the situation.
After being driven to a relatively open flat area, the group of refugees huddled together in fear and unease.
At this moment, an elderly woman dressed in bright colors and with a kind face slowly walked over, surrounded by a group of awakened people.
When the members of the Changsheng Sect around her saw her, they all bowed slightly, showing great respect, indicating that she held a high position here.
The old woman subtly gave a wink to the person hiding in the darkness behind her, and then a violent energy fluctuation was heard, clearly indicating that she was preparing to unleash some kind of power.
Seeing this, the old woman turned around and continued walking, standing in front of a large group of refugees.
Seeing the slight fear in the refugees' eyes, she smiled gently and spoke softly:
"Don't be afraid, everyone. Now that you've come to the Changsheng Sect, your good days are about to begin."
Although she was old, her voice was gentle and carried a strange, comforting power.
The words "good days" stirred a slight ripple in the numb eyes of the refugees.
“I am one of the managers here, you can call me Teacher Han.”
After introducing himself, Teacher Han continued speaking to the refugees:
"Enter the Gate of Immortality, and all the suffering—coldness, hunger, and displacement—will be far away from you."
Teacher Han's voice was like a sweet spring, flowing into the parched hearts of the refugees:
“Here, everything will start anew! You will find warmth, plenty, and… eternal peace.”
When the group of refugees heard what Teacher Han said, a glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in their gloomy eyes.
Seeing this, Teacher Han's expression of pity deepened:
"Oh dear, everyone's starving..."
"I won't say much more. Now, Teacher Han will lead you to swear an oath that you will not betray the Changsheng Sect. As long as you sincerely recite this oath, you will be one of us."
"From now on, you will no longer be afraid of the cold or hunger! You can eat as much as you want in the Changsheng Gate!"
Upon hearing this, some of the refugees actually burst into tears.
