Chapter 324: The Calm Before the Storm

Inside the Tian Wei Tower, the noise never stops.

The dispute between Gu Yin and Lin Yimo, the young master of the Lin family, is still ongoing, but Lu Heng and Jiu Mie have already left the Tian Wei Tower and have no intention of getting involved in this matter.

The streets are crowded with people bustling to and fro, yet Lu Heng and Jiu Mie, without uttering a single word, tacitly head in the same direction.

Blending into the crowd, their figures disappeared completely, concealing their presence from outsiders.

Ahead of them, a figure in the crowd appeared and vanished intermittently, constantly moving away.

This figure, also leaving the Tian Wei Tower, had an eerie demeanor and an unusual aura, moving in an elusive manner.

Without the need to communicate, Lu Heng and Jiu Mie tacitly followed him from behind. While teasing and joking with each other, they remained trailing this person.

For Lu Heng and Jiu Mie, the person in front of them was a real surprise and the main reason for leaving the Tian Wei Tower.

They never thought they would be lucky enough to come across something like this while just coming out to witness the spectacle.

However, following along the way, Lu Heng and his group crossed streets, alleyways, and crowded crowds, walking through the heart of Yanjing City for half an hour.

Towards the end, Jiu Mie had a headache and spoke up.

"Why does this thing keep moving around... Could it have noticed us?"

Lu Heng looked towards the figure ahead and shook his head. He said, "It's impossible that it noticed us. It's probably just its habitual sense of vigilance."

"If this thing hides among the wizards within Yanjing City, and doesn't maintain a low-profile, it's likely that its whereabouts have already been discovered by the wizards."

During their conversation, the figure swiftly passed through two secluded and dark alleys with hurried steps.

Lu Heng and Jiu Mie followed closely behind, even in the dimly lit and deserted alleys. The figure ahead remained unaware of Lu Heng and Jiu Mie's presence trailing behind.

Finally, after taking these strange and winding routes, the figure arrived at the end of a closed alleyway. Expplôre uptodate stories at no/vel//bin(.)com

Up ahead was a high wall, turning this place into a dead end.

However, without hesitating in front of the high wall, the figure walked straight towards it and disappeared in an instant.

As they walked, they talked.

"The situation is chaotic. When the Dragon Soul appears in two days, it's likely that more demons will be attracted than expected... Are you worried, my friend? After all, it seems that there are top-notch demonic giants among them, who are precisely targeting you, the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain."

"Haha... My friend is too modest. Old Monk Jiu Mie, who stands at the pinnacle of immortals and is unparalleled in the world, is someone no one dares to ignore..."

"How about we find our friend Candle Dragon to join us in this effort... Since the three of us face the same challenges and share victories and defeats in life, how can we leave out our good friend Candle Dragon in such an important matter?"

"I also want to... It's just that time is running out... What a pity, what a pity..."

"Yes, what a pity... What a pity..."

Inside the Flame Capital city, a monk and a wolf walked among the crowd, sighing with the same regret.

It's a pity that Candle Dragon's whereabouts are too elusive, making it impossible to recruit him as a soldier.

But they had not been lamenting for long before they heard another piece of news.

"... Demons attacked and caused harm in the Tian Wei Tower! The son of the Lin family, Lin Yimo, and the foreign musician Gu Yin were both seriously injured! Several city patrol wizards also died tragically!"

The sudden news that spread caused Lu Heng and the other person to furrow their brows slightly as they returned to the crowd.

Jiu Mie looked towards the direction of the Tian Wei Tower, his expression stunned.

"Demons attacked in public? Could it be that the Tian Wei Tower from earlier still had a demon hiding? It was able to conceal itself from you and me?"

Lu Heng's expression also became serious.

"Daring to cause harm in public within Yanjing city, able to kill the city patrol wizards and get away unscathed... It seems that Yanjing city has been infiltrated more severely than imagined. Could it be that the news of the Dragon Soul's reappearance has already been leaked? Otherwise, why have these foreign demons come here?"

Lu Heng couldn't quite understand.

Jiu Mie spoke up: 'It seems that the storm is brewing and the wind is rising... The situation in Yanjing city has become so strange, yet it appears calm on the surface.'

"If we cannot figure out the movements of these demons or their purpose for gathering here before the reappearance of the Dragon Soul, which is imminently approaching, the Dragon Soul's reappearance in two days will likely be a hard-fought battle."

Even Jiu Mie's brow furrowed at the possibility of such a gathering of demonic forces and the potential disappearance of righteousness while the demonic forces prospered.

After all, among the foreign demons currently gathered within the Fire Pass Country, there are some powerful and prominent figures in the demonic path that cannot be ignored.

If all of these top-tier demons were to gather together, it would certainly be a huge disaster.

If only he and Lu Heng were present, it would be difficult for them to handle the situation alone.
