C230 (1/2)

Three minutes past midnight, in the woods outside South Tong City.

The endless night shrouded the small forest. It was so dark that one couldn't see one's own fingers in front of one's eyes. There were many shadows of the trees on the ground. Everything was desolate and quiet.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, blocking most of the moon. Under the dim moonlight, a tall figure could be seen standing quietly in the woods, as if waiting for someone.

Not long after, a faint sound of wind could be heard in the air. The tall figure's ears twitched as he raised his head and opened his eyes.

”Brother Long Ning, since you're here, don't hide anymore. Come out!” That person faintly said to a certain spot in the air.

”Tsk tsk, as expected of the senior brother of the physical body. His spiritual sense is indeed sharp!” A cold voice came from the air, and soon after, in front of the camp, there was a slight fluctuation in the air, and a slightly thin figure appeared in front of him.

”Hehe, did Brother Long Ning call me here today to bring me good news?” The battalion looked at Hua Longning with a beaming smile, but soon after, they were a bit surprised. ”Brother Long Ning doesn't look that good.”

Although the moonlight was dim at the moment, as a martial arts genius at the early stage of the Fetal Stage, he could clearly see Hua Longning's pale face as if he had overused himself.

”Humph, so what if it is me? You don't need to care about that. Alright, Ling Yan is already dead. Take out the rest of the payment.” Hua Longning said in a cold voice. It was obvious that he was not in a very happy mood.

When Ling Yan had fallen down the waterfall, Hua Longning had immediately rushed down the mountain. In fact, when he saw the height of the waterfall, he had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, the river at the bottom of the mountain was galloping with a great momentum. If an ordinary person spoke at a close distance, it would be difficult for them to hear it clearly if they did not drag their throats.

If a person fell into a river, they would be washed away and disappear without a trace.

His spiritual sense immediately spread out in all directions like a spider web, covering an area of 300 meters, including the bottom of the lake.

As time passed, the expression on Hua Longning's face became colder and colder.

He quickly followed the flow of the river for close to a kilometer, but to no avail. Hua Longning's face darkened as if he was about to drip water. An invisible, violent voice lingered on the surface of his body.

He knew that there was no need for him to continue searching. Ling Yan's corpse had probably already been washed away by the torrent of water.

Damn it, he had paid such a heavy price, yet he still hadn't gotten anything back from Ling Yan.
