Chapter 214 – Exploration Complete, Moving to the Holy Tree Temple - Part 1
Gongshan Jun was dead, and the demon hunters all fell silent.
Those at the ninth and eighth rank did not dare speak. The seventh rank hunters, however, understood that Gongshan Jun had chosen a fatal path. It might well have been what led him to his end. So what more was there to say?
The real question was how that person had known about Gongshan Jun’s plan.
And more importantly, what would they face now?
Fight?
That was out of the question.
Before the old monster who appeared as a mere youth had even shown up, he’d repelled them with a few pebbles in an instant, precisely controlling his power so as not to kill anyone. Among them were ninth, eighth, and seventh rank experts, each with different levels of strength. Yet in the blink of an eye, he had assessed every individual’s capability and dealt exactly the right amount of damage.
That feat alone was even more terrifying than beating them on the spot; it crushed their will to resist.
At that moment, Li Yuan looked at the fresh sixth rank corpse on the ground, then turned to Tang Nian. She stood there, biting her lip, staring at Gongshan Jun’s body. Her fingers, dangling by her trousers, trembled slightly.
Li Yuan gave his goddaughter a long look, then glanced over her shoulder at the other demon hunters. Finally, he raised his voice and said, “You lot, follow me back.”
None of the demon hunters dared protest. They hurried after Li Yuan, returning to the camp.
Tang Nian stayed behind.
