The next day,
the Immortal Source seemed to appear out of nowhere, instantly tearing through the darkness. Day had broken!
Lu Hao and the other two set out early, heading for the village Qin Fengqing had mentioned.
Half an hour later, they reached the village Qin Fengqing had described.
It was a settlement of roughly a hundred houses, all built around a central area.
Villages like these usually had an energy stone the size of a human head hanging up for illumination.
The energy stone carried the aura of the Rank 9 demon beast or demon plant belonging to its city, deterring demon beasts in the wilderness.
"Qin Fengqing, are you sure there aren't any martial artists above Rank Four here? Isn't this village a little big? The villages this size I saw in the Earth Cave probably had Rank Six martial artists."
The three lay on a slope, surveying the entire village. After looking it over, Wang Jinyang asked the question.
"Definitely not. If there were a Rank Six, their mental power might have detected us already, with us this close. There might be a Rank Five at most.
"If there's a Rank Five, then with the three Rank Fours I saw before, this village would be a little too powerful."
"If an ordinary village had that many experts, Heavenly Gate City would definitely send them to the front lines. So there should only be those three Rank Fours."
"Well? Want to take the gamble?"
Qin Fengqing asked after finishing his analysis.
"Is there anywhere else we could go?" Wang Jinyang still didn't want to take the risk, so he asked.
"There are other places, but we aren't strong enough yet. There are quite a few Rank Five enemies there."
"Lu Hao, what do you think?" Wang Jinyang asked.
