"How did you take so long?" Lin Bai asked reproachfully.
"Hey." Crow sighed helplessly. "On the way here, I ran into the Chu Kingdom's army. They seemed to be inspecting some kind of formation, and it took me quite a while to slip past them and get in."
"The Chu Kingdom's army is inspecting a formation?" Lin Bai's eyes lit up. "Where did you find them? And where are they now?"
Crow replied, "The moment I approached your location through the void, I discovered someone setting up a formation. I spent quite some effort avoiding their detection."
"I was in the void at the time, so I didn't clash with them head-on. However, judging by my estimation, they aren't far from where we are now!"
He was somewhat puzzled. "Isn't it currently the Hunting Realm's hunting period? Why would the Chu Kingdom's army suddenly enter the Hunting Realm?"
Crow was baffled, but Lin Bai understood.
The entire Hunting Realm was covered by projection formations arranged by the Celestial Mystery Pavilion. However, Verdant City was a secret stronghold secretly built by the demon race, and there was absolutely no projection formation here.
After Lin Bai and Tuo Baxin disappeared from the Underground Sea, the Chu Kingdom's imperial clan had surely witnessed it and sent people to investigate.
That was why Crow had discovered someone inspecting the formations in this area while in the void.
In other words, it wouldn't be long before the imperial clan discovered this world... Lin Bai narrowed his eyes and silently pondered his next move.
With the imperial clan's help, things would become much simpler.
The demon race's worries had not been unfounded. Lin Bai's bizarre disappearance within the Hunting Realm had indeed drawn the imperial clan's attention. They had even sent people rushing over to investigate
