As the sound got closer and closer, Chen An quickly saw a group of Cultivators through the gaps in the leaves in front of him. It was a group of Black Iron Manor Cultivators carrying machetes.
At a glance, there were at least 80 people.
“Hmm?”
Chen An frowned. He was surprised to find a familiar face among the Black Iron Manor Cultivators.
But it wasn’t anyone he had expected.
It was the scumbag Xiu who had a conflict with him in the market in the cheap district back then.
At this moment, this scumbag Cultivator was among this group of Cultivators from the Black Iron Manor.
“The world really is smaller when you have enemies.”
Chen An smiled in his heart and continued to observe the situation of the Black Iron Manor Cultivators.
The leader was a middle-aged man. He had restrained his aura, and his cultivation level could not be estimated.
However, one thing was certain. He was at least a Foundation Establishment expert.
Because from the conversation just now, he could tell that the other party was an elder of the Black Iron Manor.
The elders of the Bamboo Leaf Gang all had reached the level of Foundation Establishment Cultivation. Needless to say, the Black Iron Manor was even stronger.
“Strange, these Cultivators from the Black Iron Manor have clearly entered the range of my divine consciousness. Why can’t my divine consciousness sense them? Instead, 1 have to rely on my ears?”
Chen Xiao was puzzled.
However, he quickly figured it out. He guessed that the other party most likely had a magical artifact that could block divine consciousness perception.
After all, they were coming for a sneaky night attack. They had to take precautions and think of a way to block conventional perception methods.
Otherwise, before he could approach the Bamboo Leaf Gang, he would probably be detected by the Cultivators within the group.
“It seems that divine consciousness is not as useful as 1 thought. It’s fine to use it to investigate the terrain, but it’s a little useless to use it to sense Cultivators.”
Chen An thought to himself.
Then, he looked at his wives and said,
“I am sensing a large group of Cultivators from the Black Iron Manor approaching us quickly from a forest hundreds of meters away. We have to leave this place.”
When the three wives heard this, their expressions immediately changed.
Quickly, they all took action.
With a thought, Gu Xinyue put all the kitchenware and ingredients into her storage bag.
Song Huaying hurriedly carried her daughter.
Wen Zhiyun asked worriedly, “Husband, where are the people from the Black Iron Manor?”
Her senses were far inferior to Chen An’s. Until now, she had not discovered that the Cultivators of the Black Iron Manor were approaching them.
“Use this to see. They’re right over there.”
Chen An took out the Thousand Mile Mirror from his storage bag and handed it to Wen Zhiyun. He pointed in a direction through the gaps in the leaves and said to her.
Wen Zhiyun took the mirror and looked in the direction Chen An was pointing.
In the end, in a forest about 500 to 600 meters away, Wen Zhiyun saw the group of Cultivators from the Black Iron Manor.
When her gaze landed on the Black Iron Manor elder in the lead, Wen Zhiyun couldn’t help but frown slightly and say in a subtle tone,
“Husband, 1 know the Cultivator from the Black Iron Manor leading the team.”
“You know him?”
Chen An could not help but be surprised.
Wen Zhiyun explained, “Do you still remember when I went to the battlefield to earn rent-free certificates and was severely injured by a Foundation Establishment expert of the Black Iron Manor?”
“Yun’er, do you mean that the Cultivator from the Black Iron Manor who led the team is the person who injured you on the battlefield?”
“Yes.”
Wen Zhiyun nodded.
Chen An raised his eyebrows and thought to himself that the world really is small today.
Not only did he encounter his own enemies, but he also encountered his wife’s.
Even so, Chen An had no intention of avenging Wen Zhiyun.
It was not like he had killed his father.
She was only injured on the battlefield. It was a very normal thing.
There was no need to take the risk to avenge Wen Zhiyun.
After all, once he failed, he would be cursed to eternal damnation.
Who knew if there were other Foundation Establishment Cultivators hidden among this group of Black Iron Manor Cultivators?
As long as there was life, there was hope.
At most, when he became stronger in the future, he would go to the Black Iron Manor to avenge Wen Zhiyun.
He thought to himself.
Chen An urged his three wives, “Alright, let’s leave quickly to avoid unnecessary trouble.”
“Yes, as Husband says.”
As Wen Zhiyun spoke, she put down the Thousand Mile Mirror. Although she wanted to take revenge on the other party, logically speaking, this was very unreasonable.
If she really took revenge, it would only be for a moment.
If they failed miserably, there is no way of turning back.
“Sister Wen, can you lend me the Thousand Mile Mirror? 1 want to see those Cultivators from the Black Iron Manor.”
Song Huaying’s curiosity was piqued again. She looked at Wen Zhiyun and pleaded softly.
Wen Zhiyun didn’t mind. It wouldn’t take long to take a look. Hence, she handed the Thousand Mile Mirror to Song Huaying and smiled. “Ying’er, take a look.”
“Thank you, Sister Wen!”
Song Huaying smiled and took the Thousand Mile Mirror.
Then, she looked in the direction Wen Zhiyun pointed and saw the group of Black Iron Manor Cultivators through the Thousand Mile Mirror.
It would have been better if she hadn’t looked. When she saw the scene, she was instantly stunned.
Then, in the next second, she instantly lost control of her emotions and said,
“Husband, husband, it’s, it’s that Cultivator. He’s the one who…”
Song Huaying’s body instinctively trembled. For a moment, she lost her grip on the Thousand Mile Mirror and fell to the ground. She wanted to continue, but she suddenly felt so uncomfortable that she could not make a sound.
Seeing this, Chen An hurriedly asked, “Ying’er, what’s wrong?”
Song Huaying’s eyes immediately became moist. Her emotions were very unstable, and she said with a hint of tears, “Husband, the Cultivator who destroyed my family, he, he’s among those Cultivators from the Black Iron Manor…”
Chen An frowned when he heard that. He went forward and gently wiped her tears. He asked, “Which one is it? Tell me.”
“Yes, it’s the one in the middle of the team. His face is covered in stubble.”
Song Huaying sobbed.
After saying that, she saw that Chen An seemed to have the intention to avenge her. She immediately sobbed and said,
“Husband, Husband, let’s leave quickly.”
It was true that she wanted to take revenge, but her rationality was not completely controlled by her emotions at this moment. She knew what to do and what not to do.
She could not let her husband take the risk just because of her own selfish desires.
Chen An wiped Song Huaying’s tears again and said calmly, “Let’s kill your enemy before leaving.”
When Wen Zhiyun heard this, she wanted to persuade Chen An not to be rash, but when she saw Song Huaying’s heartbroken expression, she swallowed her words in the end.
Chen An picked up the Thousand Mile Mirror on the ground and placed it in Song Huaying’s hand. He said calmly, “Ying’er, use this Thousand Mile Mirror to take a good look. See how your husband will avenge you.”
“Husband…”
“Don’t look at me. Use the Thousand Mile Mirror to look at your enemy.”
As Chen An spoke, he raised Song Huaying’s arm and placed the Thousand Mile Mirror in front of her, aiming at the team from the Black Iron Manor.
After everything was ready, Chen An mobilized all the spiritual power in his body to his fingers. He wanted to stand there and release the golden light to kill that scumbag Xiu from hundreds of meters away.
However, just as the golden light was about to shoot out, he suddenly retracted his spiritual qi.
He took the mirror from Song Huaying’s hand and handed it to Wen Zhiyun.
“Yun’er, use the Thousand Mile Mirror. I’ll help you kill the elder of the Black Iron Manor to take revenge first. Then, 1’11 capture Ying’er’s enemy and let Ying’er deal with him personally.”
“Husband, isn’t this too risky?”
Wen Zhiyun was a little worried.
Chen An only said, “Quickly use the Thousand Mile Mirror to look at your enemy. I’m going to make a move.”
Wen Zhiyun pursed her lips and stopped talking. She silently looked at the elder of the Black Iron Manor with the Thousand Mile Mirror.
“Yun’er, do you see that?”
“I do.”
“Then watch carefully. I’m going to make a move.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the golden light on Chen An’s fingertip suddenly shot out with a buzz, aiming at the center of the elder’s eyebrows..
