Then, they would rely on their clansmen for cover. Stealthily, they planned to slip away from this corner, unnoticed.
The Huang Clan members perceived them as insignificant, presuming they belonged to small, ignorant clans. Consequently, the Huang Clan had a.s.signed only a few individuals to monitor them in this area. Each person was responsible for a corner and rarely attended to all of them.
As long as the members of the Five Elements Clan and the Thunder Fire Clan provided cover, their movements would go undetected.
Gu Chaoyan felt optimistic.
She had already devised a plan for their escape.
Instructing Adams to coordinate with the Thunder Fire Clan members, she a.s.sured the Five Elements Clan that everything would be fine as long as everyone maintained an unspoken understanding.
With the preliminary plan set, they waited confidently, antic.i.p.ating the approach of nightfall when they could put their plan into action.
Gary persisted in trying to join them.
Gu Chaoyan declined his offer outright.
Not because she doubted his abilities, but additional individuals increased the risk of discovery. Moreover, she hoped Gary would keep a watchful eye on his clansmen in her absence. With him present, she would feel somewhat rea.s.sured when she wasn’t around.
Only after Gary finished speaking did the night fall.
Following a simple meal, Gu Chaoyan nodded at Adams and the sorcerer, signaling that they were ready.
Adams and the sorcerer joined them, understanding the plan without the need for words.
The clansmen on both sides started to gather.
Under the cover of darkness, silence prevailed. The Huang Clan members didn’t take the situation seriously, showing little attention to the newcomers.
As the trio approached the Huang clansmen guarding their side, the taller members from both sides congregated even more.
Gu Chaoyan signaled Adams and the sorcerer to stay put. Being tall and strong men, they would easily draw notice, whereas she, being shorter, wouldn’t attract as much attention. Moreover, her actions wouldn’t cause a significant disturbance.
With a smile, Gu Chaoyan approached the guards.
The two guards were about to question when Gu Chaoyan swiftly incapacitated them without a sound.
She directed Adams to remove their clothes and put them on.
Determining what to do with the subdued guards posed another challenge. Ultimately, she opted to tie them up and place them between the Thunder Fire Clan and the Five Elements Clan, treating them as part of her own group. Upon their return, she would a.s.sign three individuals from each clan to stand guard in this position. It seemed like a fitting solution.
This strategic move was a decisive one.
Both clans now had an escape route.
So…
Under the cover of darkness, Gu Chaoyan, along with Adams and the sorcerer, left.
Their destination: the Huang Clan, to uncover what was happening.
They ascended the hill, confirming that these individuals who had arrived at the Huang Clan hadn’t reached the clan’s territory at all. Instead, they were positioned at the mountain’s base beneath the Huang Clan.
It became apparent that the Huang Clan had intentionally confined these smaller clans here.
As they entered the Huang Clan’s territory,
Only then did he truly sense that this world was slowly evolving towards civilization.
