Han Jue snapped his head up at the newcomer's words, like a furious lion. Then, concealing the killing intent in his eyes, he took the letter from the mercenary.
Glancing at the letter in his hand, Han Jue laughed in extreme anger. "Haha, good, very good indeed! I'd like to see just who you think you are!"
Sure enough, the letter not only said that the other party knew of Devouring Hundred Herbs, but also demanded that Han Jue bring Devouring Hundred Herbs alone for the exchange.

No one would make a mortal enemy of him for the sake of a dead man.
After reading the letter, Han Jue said fiercely.
"Recall all the brothers outside. Have everyone prepare for battle. Get me a horse. The moment you see my signal, everyone rush over to support me as quickly as possible!"
"Yes!" Qin Yang looked at Han Jue, a flicker of fervor passing through his eyes.

Under the blazing sun, a tall chestnut horse galloped wildly through the desert. Its rider was Han Jue, heading toward the place Xiao Yu had named.
Along the way, Han Jue carefully watched his surroundings
