This time, Niu Youdao's group did not set out on its own, but followed Fu Hua's group.
The reason Niu Youdao gave everyone was that he also wanted to find out why his group had come up empty-handed, to see how others were doing and compare them with his own group, so people would stop misunderstanding him.
The reasoning was flawless. Everyone had nothing to say and naturally had no objections...
Once again, the groups scattered and left the others' sight. Chao Jing immediately halted, landing atop a raised grassy mound in the marsh.
The two Myriad Beasts Sect disciples landed with him. Seeing him scan the surroundings, Xu Huo immediately asked, "Master, what is it?"
Chao Jing slightly raised his chin toward one direction. "We'll make a slight change to our route."
Xu Huo was surprised. "We're not following the planned route?"
Chao Jing said, "Taking a slight detour is no problem. We'll do this from today onward. Also, from today onward, stay alert during the search. The moment you find anyone approaching, sound the alarm immediately."
The two Myriad Beasts Sect disciples exchanged glances. Since last night, Elder Chao had clearly become more vigilant. Last night, he had already instructed them that if anyone approached, no matter who it was, they were to notify him at once.
Little did they know that after saying those things to Niu Youdao yesterday, Chao Jing had realized the danger. He feared that Niu Youdao would kill him, especially now that Niu Youdao had joined Fu Hua's group of four today.
However, he held Niu Youdao's weakness in his hand. So long as he gave Niu Youdao no chance to launch a sneak attack, he was not afraid no matter how many people Niu Youdao brought in.
