Night Visit

Snow drifted through the night.

Every so often, wind swept in, sending the snowflakes swirling and dancing, blurring the view.

Song Qiutang hid in the shadows, studying the town below the snowy slope. She saw that Luo Yan made no attempt to conceal his movements.

In fact, the headlights in front of Blade were shining brightly as it swaggered straight into the town.

"He's not really going to go in like that, is he?"

"Damn it, I should've reminded him. Ke Zhen is an Intermediate Great Perfection expert."

"With another forty or fifty brave and battle-hardened subordinates at his command, charging in like this is no different from courting death!"

"Song Qiutang, you were too careless."

"But this can't be blamed on me. I thought he was an experienced surface gold-seeker."

"Who could've guessed he'd swagger in like that?"

"Could he be a disciple trained by some major Undercity clan?"

"Mm, it must be so."

"Only that could explain how he has such impressive skills while being so inexperienced."

Song Qiutang looked around, wondering whether she should flee.

Luo Yan's entering like this was no different from courting death.

If she stayed, she might be in danger as well.

"Wait."

"Let's wait a little longer."

"We'll see what happens first."

She figured that she was hidden and still some distance from the town.

If anything happened, she would still have time to escape.

At that moment, just as Song Qiutang had expected, the people in the camp inside the town had already spotted Luo Yan.

Immediately, several searchlights lit up along the camp's high walls.

Under the dazzling beams, snowflakes flew everywhere as the intersecting lights fell upon Luo Yan and Blade.

The man and vehicle were illuminated in every detail, leaving them nowhere to hide.

"Who's there!"

A guard
