The hidden wind mountain was covered with darkness, even a person’s fingers could not be seen. But the tree branches kept making squeaking sounds. As if a group of fairies was dancing from the distance, which could make people dared not to get close.
Because of this noise, the calmness in the forest was destroyed. The birds violently flew away. The sound of their fluttering wings made the atmosphere in the forest more tense. And it seems the surrounding air became chilly.
In the Hidden Wind Mountain, there are two groups of people that were stationed. The first one was the emperor’s people and the other one was Xiao Tianyao. The emperor’s people don’t know the existence of the other party, but Xiao Tianyao’s people clearly know where the other party is.
When the strange movements in the forest came, the Emperor’s people immediately put a guard. Their burning torches were extinguished in an instant. The smell of fire was replaced by gra.s.sy smell.
Xiao Tianyao’s people were also alert, but when they saw a b.l.o.o.d.y red coat in the mid-air, they knew immediately who it is.

Just a small movement, but like a ghost, it inevitably alerted the birds in the forest. But at this moment, it didn’t make the people doubt anything.
The two sides joined forces when Xiao Tianyao’s people saw Demon Lord’s scary mask. They were shocked at first, but then they instinctively kneel down: “Daren”
“Mmm, what’s the situation?” Demon Lord opened his mouth, his voice was as cold as the night breeze.
“There are no people left, the emperor’s people have been looking around for days, but there’s still no result.” When the hired people spoke, they kept their head low. They were not afraid of him, but rather shy.
“Where is the nearby water source?” Demon Lord nodded his head lightly and swept his eyes to the person. The hired person pointed his finger somewhere. His action seemed a bit awkward, but in fact, it was in the right direction.
The hired person doesn’t know what Demon Lord exactly mean. So, he casually said: “30 miles away from the southeast, there is a big pond in there. The water is clear and drinkable.”
“Let’s go.” Demon Lord turned around and walked towards the southeast side. The hired person trotted in front of Demon Lord. He diligently cleared the way for him. The other people walked away freely, but they almost stumbled when they followed. They were afraid to get close to the branches.
A group of people rushed to the southeast in an extremely fast manner. Although their movements were not big, they still caught the attention of the other party. The emperor’s people found a group of people lining up behind Demon Lord. The emperor’s people didn’t dare to act rashly, but he also doesn’t want to stay idle.
“Go, let’s keep up and see… …” The Emperor’s people were worried that the other party might be sent to save the southern people.
“General, do you want to ask for reinforcements?” The deputy commander whispered.
If they were sent by the south, and they fight, they will have no chance to win.
The person in charge of the matter hesitated for a moment but then nodded his head: “Notify the reinforcements to come. No matter who they are, it is a fact that they appear this time suspiciously.” The latter sentence was obviously to comfort themselves.
The signal was sent out, Demon Lord naturally has seen it. Someone from behind asked Demon Lord if he wants to stop the emperor’s people movement. However, Demon Lord refused: “No.” They have the same purpose. After finding the southern people the two sides might work with each other.
As long as he killed Nannuo Li, he doesn’t mind giving away the credits to the emperor’s people.
Thirty miles away were not short, even if Demon Lord’s people were not ordinary men, but climbing up the mountain affect their speed. When they rush toward the deep pond, half an hour had already pa.s.sed.
Looking at the surroundings, Demon Lord didn’t find any abnormalities. He said to the person behind him: “Go down the pond!”
Knowing the purpose of their trip, the 30 people arranged by Su Cha were all good swimmer. After putting a skin fish-like suit, they all dive into the water… …

After Xue Chengwen returned from the South Courtyard, he had been in a daze in the house. He can understand why his grandfather doesn’t want to save Nannuo Li, but he couldn’t accept it. They knew he was in danger but they are not doing anything.
Xue Chengwen and Nannuo Li were cousins. They have a good relations.h.i.+p. Both of them were from Xue Family, but they don’t compete with each other. Instead, they always help each other. They were like more like brothers. So now that Nannuo Li is in danger, Xue Chengwen can’t sit idle.
However, Xue Laotai didn’t agree. He couldn’t mobilize the Xue Family’s people, even if he wanted to save Nannuo Li.
“Do you really just want to watch when he is in trouble?” Xue Chengwen sadly asked himself inside his heart.
He was well aware of the coldness of the Xue family. His grandfather will also give up on him if something happened to him.
If such a day will come, he hopes that someone will save him. It doesn’t really matter if he can’t be saved. But at least, he knows that someone will lend a helping hand to him when he is in danger.
Xue Chengwen couldn’t sit still, he walks around the house with eyes full of struggles… …
“Save or not?”
If he saves him, he will inevitably make his grandfather dissatisfied to him. He might even expose the Xue Family’s existence in the east.
If he will not save him, his conscience will remain restless for the rest of his life.
“G.o.d, you’re tormenting me.” Xue Chengwen closed his eyes in pain, he clenched his hands into fists, his veins almost burst.
“I… …” Xue Chengwen opened his mouth, but he couldn’t make a decision.
“I… …” After hesitating for a long while, Xue Chengwen vowed even in death: “Save! I will save him! If I will not save Nannuo Li, I will be restless for the rest of my life. It will be impossible to live further.”
Determined, Xue Chengwen no longer hesitated, he immediately went to the study room and wrote a letter. When the ink dried, he immediately put it inside the envelope: “Someone come!”
Xue Chengwen personal guard immediately came in, “Young Master.”
“Give this letter to Princess Nannuo Yao. Remember, you must hand it over to Princess Nannuo Yao. Also, this matter cannot be learned by someone else except you. Even grandfather.” Xue Chengwen’s face looks dignified. His savvy voice has traces of killing intent. The personal guard was so shocked and busily nodded his head.
After sending the letter, Xue Chengwen ordered his guard to help him change clothes and prepare a carriage. He wanted to go out.
“Young master, everyone is prohibited to go outside in the middle of the night. You can’t go out.” When the housekeeper heard Xue Chengwen’s instruction, he said with a bitter face.
“Do you think I don’t know that its already in the middle of the night? Just make preparations. Remember, this matter must not be leaked. If I learned someone tipped me off to grandfather, I will sell his entire family to the northwest mining. place” Xue Chengwen said with a cold face. The housekeeper knew Xue Chengwen’s temperament very well. So, he didn’t dare to say no.
The carriage was soon prepared, and Xue Chengwen, who changed into night clothes and wrapped his head, only revealed his pair of eyes.
There was no symbol on the carriage. The horse pulling the cart also looked very ordinary. No one will think that it was the carriage of the Prince of the Southern Country.
Xue Chengwen nodded his head with satisfaction, he got on the carriage and reported the name of the place, letting the driver immediately sent him over… …
