"We were clearly deceived, why not tell them?" Liao Fang suppressed her inner anger, planning to calmly discuss the matter with her brother. She was smart; if Liao Fan had discovered the trick, she certainly had as well!
What seemed like a windfall trial mission had developed to the point where she realized that ultimately, no more than thirty people would survive this mission. Those thirty would have to hide just like her and the others.
When the right moment arrived, they would quietly leave. This meant that the seemingly generous rewards of Blue Stream Villa's Elemental Crystal did not require much to be given out! In contrast, it was the various sects that would suffer losses in talent!
What she couldn't understand was why her brother wouldn't clarify things. People like Wang Wei probably still thought they could go out and kill their way through, gathering enough heads to exchange for Blue Stream Villa's ridiculous rewards!
If he really did that, it would undoubtedly push everyone into a dead end!
But this sister's mind was still no match for her brother's. Liao Fan knew very well the cunning of those from Azure Thunder Sect. They had already been blinded by the so-called Elemental Crystal reward and didn't understand the importance of calming down to think through the problem.
However, he didn't consider them idiots because initially, who wasn't an idiot? Genius is never innate; even an idiot can become a genius. Liao Fan understood this from a young age, so compared to his sister's cold words,
he had been exceedingly polite in his words towards Wang Wei and the others. Of course, there were other reasons for this!
Yet he couldn't keep hiding things from his sister. After some consideration, Liao Fan calmly said, "Telling them might not make them believe it. Sometimes, some things need to be realized on one's own. Even if what others say is true, it's just nonsense to arrogant people."
This statement made a lot of sense. Upon hearing it, Liao Fang wrinkled her nose in disdain. Seeing this reaction, Liao Fan couldn't help but smile bitterly inside. This sister of his had a sharp tongue but a soft heart; she always put on a mocking demeanor while being incredibly kind. What was the point of that?
Perhaps it was due to her experiences growing up... He had spoiled this sister so much that changing now would probably be too late!
Liao Fang didn't care about what her brother was thinking; she was simply dissatisfied with his actions. If they didn't speak out now, would they know later? The greater possibility was that it would lead to conflict. Rather than letting tensions explode in silence, it was better to break the ice early!
"If you won't say it, I will!" Liao Fang was unwilling to let Wang Wei and the others ruin her brother's escape plan and couldn't help but want to clarify things right away!
But Liao Fan grabbed her arm firmly and rarely put on a serious face, saying in a deep voice, "Stop messing around! Do you want to incite infighting within this team?"
Liao Fang pursed her lips and insisted, "That's better than you thinking too highly of yourself, believing they can understand your good intentions!"
Liao Fan was slightly taken aback. He noticed his sister's emotional expression and realized she was worried he wouldn't be able to accept the harsh reality of everyone leaving afterward. It was better to address it now while they still had the energy.
Sometimes, things are just this helpless. You mean well for others and weave a kind-hearted lie, but when the lie is exposed, others may not appreciate it and think you are harming them. Liao Fang held this mindset, wanting to help her brother resolve the trouble that would come later.
She believed that if Wang Wei had any sense, he would value his life more than the Elemental Crystal. However, she overlooked one thing: arrogant people often become blinded by profit. What she said might not be believed by Wang Wei, just as Liao Fan had mentioned earlier!
Wang Wei and his group had long been paying attention to the unusual behavior of the siblings. Just by watching their actions, they could tell something was going on between them. However, Liao Fan and Liao Fang had just been communicating through Vital Energy; otherwise, in such a large area of bushes, even the slightest sound would not escape the ears of martial artists!
"What's going on? Is there a situation?" The voice that spoke was not Wang Wei's but one of their Azure Thunder Sect martial artists. Seeing him glance at Wang Wei with an odd expression clearly indicated he was acting under Wang Wei's orders.
This guy seemed reluctant to escalate things but still wanted to know what was happening. Liao Fan smiled and replied, "Nothing much. My sister is just eager to go out, so I asked her to be quiet if everyone wants to leave here safely."
His words were quite tactful; the reminder caused the martial artist's expression to slightly change, and Wang Wei furrowed his brows tightly, genuinely confused about what these siblings were up to. Fortunately, he did not press further!
Liao Fang tightened her lips but ultimately did not undermine her brother. She merely shot him an annoyed glance. Liao Fan sighed inwardly, knowing his sister's character well enough not to blame her. He communicated through Vital Energy:
"I promise I'll choose a good time to tell them. The priority is not to disrupt the group's morale; we need them. Otherwise, with just our five people from Taiyi Tower, we won't be able to escape from a large Rogue Bandits' pursuit!"
These words were more effective than anything he had said before. Liao Fang was worried about whether her brother would be okay; thus, upon hearing this, she stopped her antics and replied, "So how long do you plan to stay here?"
Seeing her calm down, Liao Fan smiled and said, "The more dangerous the place, the safer it is; you should understand this principle."
Hearing this made it clear he intended to hide for a long time. Although Liao Fang understood that principle, she also knew that sometimes it simply didn't apply. With their prepared rations, they had enough food for at most one day. If they continued hiding like this, martial artists could survive without food or water for seven days.
The problem was whether Wang Wei and his group would agree to it. Looking at their expressions, let alone seven days; whether they could survive tonight was still in question! Moreover, how could Liao Fan guarantee they wouldn't be discovered if they kept hiding?
"The most dangerous place is the safest, and generally speaking, this saying's effectiveness does not last more than three hours!" Liao Fang replied somewhat dissatisfied.
Hearing this, Liao Fan fell silent, lowering his head while glancing at the three fellow disciples beside him. They were all elite disciples of Taiyi Tower's Outer Sect, with an average strength around the Eighth Layer of Yuan Martial Realm. It was not easy for him to find these disciples to accompany him.
Now, having them hide here with him, even if they trusted his judgment, human nature is hard to predict!
Changes must be made... Liao Fan thought to himself, taking a deep breath and releasing his Vital Energy. He addressed everyone, "Everyone,"
The opening words instantly captured everyone's attention. They had been secretly observing Liao Fan and his sister, and now that Liao Fan spoke up, they couldn't help but listen intently!
Liao Fang's eyes sparkled as if she guessed what her brother wanted to say... Unfortunately, Liao Fan couldn't continue because suddenly there was a commotion outside the bushes!
The sound was whooshing and immediately halted Liao Fan's words, causing everyone's expressions to change dramatically! They collectively held their breath, and some even felt their hair stand on end because at that moment, a powerful and terrifying aura spread out!
No! There were two! These two auras appeared outside the bushes! More precisely, they were above the bushes! Liao Fan and the others couldn't help but look up. Of course, they also prudently suppressed their cultivation levels! As major Sect Disciples, everyone had this capability!
Through the branches of the bushes, they could only see some shadows through the gaps in the sunlight. Just those shadows made everyone's faces turn pale as if they had fallen into an ice cave!
The shadows belonged to two figures: one was a man resembling a White-faced Scholar, and the other had a fierce expression with dark skin. The stark contrast in their appearances created a strong visual discomfort; however, that was not the main point.
The key detail was that they shared a common feature: both had bone wings unfurled behind them! The wings were neither too large nor too small, flapping in the air as if it was these wings that allowed them to float so naturally!
In reality, even without those wings, these two could walk through the air! The terrifying aura they emitted surpassed even the peak of Origin Martial Realm! They were actually Late Stage Gale Martial Realm experts!
Upon realizing this fact, even the arrogant prince couldn't help but squint his eyes, his eyelashes trembling uncontrollably. Faced with these two individuals, he had no thoughts of escaping; he almost wished he could find a hole to hide in! The Gangwu Realm aura he sensed was so overwhelming it felt suffocating.
Clearly, that was not something a beginner in Gangwu Realm could emit! This meant that these two strange figures above were at least mid-stage or even late-stage beings! Such individuals posed an existential threat to their team!
"How is this possible!" Wang Wei shouted inwardly, unable to contain his confusion, as he sensed something even more terrifying beyond those two auras.
That was the fact that the wings emerging from behind were not a human trait! To be precise, in the history of the Divine Martial Continent, only the demon race possessed such features, aside from the sacred beasts. Ordinary magical beasts and monsters could be ruled out, as those two phantoms were indeed humanoid.
These two individuals were none other than Black Face and Bailuo! Liao Fan also felt a chill in his heart; the legends of these demon races were never lacking in the texts of the great sects, and he naturally recognized the signs of the demon race!
What was equally incomprehensible to Wang Wei was that a shapeshifting demon could reach the Late Stage of the Gale Martial Realm, which wasn't too difficult to understand. However, how could demons possibly appear in such a place?
The human world and the demon realm are separated. Although many demons have managed to survive in the human realm due to the great upheaval a thousand years ago, those demons are either too weak or powerful enough to remain hidden. Now, these two powerful demons above the bushes dared to expose themselves so arrogantly in the human realm! Did they not fear attracting unparalleled experts who would annihilate them?
With such questions in mind, Liao Fan was perplexed, while Liao Fang was witnessing the might of the demon race for the first time. In her heart, those two phantoms resembled the legendary Yin and Yang messengers of death, beings that took lives!
Even though she possessed formidable cultivation among her peers, she couldn't help but feel a deep-seated fear! It was an instinctive terror!
This sense of fear quickly spread. Whether this small thicket could still conceal their group became uncertain and elusive. There were many things they did not know; this competition on Yue Ma Plain was destined to be a chaotic mess...
