Chapter 563 - 562 Young Master Zhao’s Protection
Having crossed the first mountain ridge, the group entered the first valley.
As they proceeded through the valley, everyone was extremely cautious, fearing an ambush at any moment.
Lin Zhenshan was also especially vigilant; Su Yang could sense that all of Lin’s power was focused and ready to counter a possible sneak attack at any moment.
However, Su Yang wasn’t particularly concerned. He could clearly sense that within the nearby area, no one was approaching them. This meant that for the time being, there was no ambush lying in wait for them.
In fact, Su Yang didn’t expect they would be ambushed in this first valley.
After all, their group was large and would prove difficult to handle. Smaller forces naturally wouldn’t provoke them. The only ones capable and likely to target them would be from Feng Wenchuan’s side.
But this was only the first valley, and the likelihood of Feng Wenchuan’s men making a move here was slim. After all, escaping from this valley was far too easy. If Feng Wenchuan’s men could not deal a fatal blow, then many would likely flee. By then, Feng Wenchuan’s group wouldn’t achieve their desired outcome.
On the contrary, the second valley was the place where the real danger lay.
Feng Wenchuan’s men, wanting to deal a fatal strike and realizing a frontal confrontation wouldn’t work, would definitely set up an ambush or something similar. Therefore, during the first valley, they would likely travel as fast as possible, quickly reaching the second valley to set the trap, lying in wait to ambush Zhao Wunian’s party. In this way, in the first valley, they wouldn’t have time to attack Zhao Wunian’s group.
