Black Owl felt that if the person following them was truly a demon, being able to keep up with their speed without revealing any demonic energy was something even the Ten Great Demon Generals might not be able to do. That's why he directly suspected it was Demon Lord Jiu Yue.
"Why isn't Jiu Yue deploying his troops? What is he doing following us? Does he want to take us hostage and threaten my sister and brother-in-law?" Ji Fengming found Jiu Yue's behavior unbelievable because they all knew that Jiu Yue's target was the little female bandit.
"Perhaps," Black Owl thought for a moment and realized that this guess didn't make sense.
The Fourth Patriarch, Ling Feng, stroked his beard and said, "In short, it's not a good thing. Everyone should be on guard."
"Um!"
"Alright, Fourth Ancestor!"
Black Owl and Ji Fengming agreed in unison.
The Fourth Patriarch, Ling Feng, stroked his beard and leisurely strolled off to another place, actually to remind everyone and deliver the news.
Even then, Ji Fengming never imagined that this crisis would stem from his momentary act of kindness.
Xuan En saw that the Han Yuzong people had been resting there for a long time and showed no intention of setting off again.
He felt that following them all the time wasn't a solution, and the Demon Lord's order for a general offensive was directly transmitted into his mind.
Seven days is not enough for the people of the Hanyu Sect to return to the Hanyu Sect, but it is easy for them to return to the Dan Sect.
He had to take Ji Fengming away before that happened.
If Ji Fengming is unwilling, he will carry him away even if he has to knock him unconscious!
After much deliberation, at midnight, when the night was deep, Xuan En finally showed up and walked straight toward Ji Fengming.
"Who goes there?" The Han Yu Sect disciple on guard duty shouted sharply after spotting him.
Immediately, everyone who was meditating woke up and looked at Xuan En.
“Xuan En?” Ji Fengming recognized him at a glance.
Black Owl frowned instinctively. Although only Xuan En had come, a strong sense of unease rose in his heart.
"Fengming..." Black Owl called out to Ji Fengming through telepathy, "Be careful..."
Ji Fengming was initially quite happy to see Xuan En, who had been missing for many days. After all, he had put his heart and soul into this little beastman he had picked up. Last time, when he had scolded Xuan En away, he had actually worried about him in secret.
He also thought that after dealing with the demons, he would go and find Xuan En again.
If Xuan En could overcome her hostility towards Xiao Chen, he wouldn't want her to wander alone outside.
But when Hei Xiao called out to him with a hint of hesitation, Ji Fengming's usually not very bright mind suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he became alert: Could it be that the people Hei Xiao and the Fourth Ancestor mentioned who followed them were Xuan En?
However, he knew Xuan En's cultivation level; with Xuan En's cultivation level, it was impossible for him to keep up with them now.
But if the person following them is indeed Xuan En, then...
"Mmm..." Xuan En stood a few meters away from Ji Fengming, Han Yuzong and the others, and whimpered in grievance.
He has already taken on his true form in the Demon Realm, and his mind is no longer that of a beast; he has long since regained normal thinking.
But in order to avoid arousing Ji Fengming's suspicion and to make it easier for him to get closer to Ji Fengming, he pretended that he had not changed.
He tried to make himself look like a little wild animal that had run away from home in a huff, but now longed to return to its owner.
But he forgot that as a nine-winged demonic dragon, no matter how hard he tried to hide his aura, he could never hide it perfectly.
His eyes were no longer as pure as before; no matter how he disguised them, they still carried a cold and fierce aura.
