Chapter 131: Horrific Discovery
Despite going through the details repeatedly, Han Xuhan couldn’t tell where or how he had gone wrong. What did this system mean by ’lacking performance’?
Perhaps he would need to see the contents of the original plotline to understand how his performance was flawed. It was true that the system had warned him earlier that planning for only survival would not be adequate. But he wasn’t really strong enough to plan for much more.
"So what’s the plan for now? And where is this place anyway?" He asked, having finished his meal.
His inquisitive gaze was received with silence, Mu Ran and Xuanyuan Zhou still scanning him with blank, unreadable looks.
Mu Ran stood up after a moment, gesturing at him to follow.
"We’re near Pine town, just by the riverside where it’s hard to track people and offers easy escape routes. Initially, martial sister Zhou and I decided to not immediately go seek shelter inside the town.
"If more demonic cultivators like Shen Kai were hiding inside the town, it would have spelled a disaster for us in our current condition. The town chief himself was cooperating with the demonic cultivators, intentionally or not. I didn’t want to take the risk."
"Really? Wise decision, Boss!"
Han Xuhan slowly tried to get up, holding onto the tree behind him. His muscles protested quite horribly, but after the protein-heavy meal, movements didn’t seem as difficult as before.
"But do you remember that we had a mission to accomplish? Now that we know what the reason behind the disappearances of the denizens of the town is, we will need to give them an explanation, at least..."
Han Xuhan trailed off, suddenly feeling that the way Mu Ran had worded things was off. Why did he say that their current position was something they had planned initially? What happened afterwards?
