Ji Fengyao couldn't pinpoint the person's exact location, but she could still vaguely sense his presence.
“Yes, follow along,” she nodded firmly.
“Let’s split up and retreat. He’s only one person. If we split up and retreat, he can only have one more person with him,” An Zijin suggested habitually.
“No, if that person harbors ill intentions, the person he is following will likely be in grave danger, and it will be easier for him to defeat us one by one,” Lu Yang immediately objected, but without targeting An Zijin: “Or, if that person is after Miss, and the person he is following is Miss, wouldn’t we be violating our oath to Heaven?”
"What can we do then? We can't just let him keep coming back to Vulture's Lodge with us; if he's from the Zhou family or the Dongdan family, wouldn't we be exposing our own hideout?" Hao Yan interrupted in a muffled voice.
Although the hastily assembled team was far less cohesive than the original group in Dazhao, their conversations were beginning to show signs of teamwork.
The idea that absolute loyalty can be won in just a few days is something only found in TV dramas and novels.
Nothing in reality can be accomplished overnight, just as Rome couldn't be built in a day.
Ji Fengyao was already quite satisfied with their performance. She smiled playfully and said, "You guys leave first, I'll go and meet him."
"Miss!"
"no!"
"Miss, I'll go with you!"
Bai Yusheng, Lu Yang, and An Zijin voiced their opposition almost simultaneously, while Hao Yan and Zhuang Shaoze also looked on with disapproval, but they were a step too late.
"Don't worry, I wouldn't take this risk if I wasn't sure I could escape unscathed. Don't separate before I return." Ji Fengyao stopped in her tracks, her gaze firm. Having spent so much time with Shang Xiye, she naturally absorbed his resolute and decisive aura at this crucial moment, making it impossible for anyone to refute her.
Everyone thought about it and agreed. If she wasn't confident, she wouldn't have dared to cause such a ruckus in Guyue City when only Bai Yusheng and his sister were around.
Although the young lady's strength is not very high, her foundation may be stronger than they imagined!
“Miss, you must be careful,” An Zijin earnestly advised.
Ji Fengyao nodded firmly to them, roughly estimated the direction of the person hiding in the dense forest, and decisively turned and ran in that direction.
Seeing Ji Fengyao running towards him, the boy's bright, star-like eyes widened in surprise.
Although Ji Fengyao didn't come straight at him, the direction she came from was roughly correct.
This shows that she wasn't just guessing, but could genuinely sense his presence.
"She's just a cultivator in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, yet she can actually sense it..." A strange interest flickered in the young man's eyes.
The feeling is like a ghost that has been wandering aimlessly and no one can see it, suddenly encountering someone who can see it.
Curiosity, and a strange excitement that he couldn't quite explain.
With a slight blink, the boy turned and walked slowly into the depths of the dense forest.
He wanted to test the waters and see what kind of background this young female cultivator, who was suddenly appearing on the Maple Moon Continent and was completely disguised.
Ji Fengyao chased after him for a while, and soon realized that the man intended to lead her deeper into the monster forest.
She possesses the Tower of Life, which allows her to enter and escape danger in times of life-or-death crisis. This gives her the confidence to pursue those ferocious demons alone.
But this doesn't mean she'll be reckless or aggressive, knowingly leading the other party into a trap and foolishly jumping in, thus exposing her true intentions.
