Chapter 280: Chapter 249 Night Raid_1

“Senior, we are not far from the Divine Gu Valley, and if we stay over in the county town, we risk encountering unforeseen dangers!”

After the squad entered the county town, Xu Mu decided to stay the night. Zhao Yan took the opportunity to remind him.

“All the people in your team are injured, I fear they won’t be able to withstand the journey if we travel all night!” Xu Mu casually replied.

“…”

Zhao Yan was speechless.

Why don’t you realize the injuries?

Clearly, you could heal them with the wave of your hand, yet you say such things!

Although she complained incessantly in her heart, Zhao Yan dared not force him to heal her subordinates.

Besides, what good would it do even if they were healed?

They were merely ordinary people – however swift they were, how far could they possibly go?

Her main intention in saying these things was to leave with Xu Mu alone!

However, it was quite evident that Xu Mu was purposely feigning ignorance with her.

Zhao Yan didn’t dare to leave on her own after Xu Mu agreed, so she could only obediently follow him.

Everyone had dinner at the restaurant and then booked rooms at the inn.

When they arrived at the inn, Xu Mu immediately laid down and rested, offering no further instructions. He didn’t seem worried about potential pursuers at all.

Zhao Yan didn’t have the luxury of being so carefree. She carefully assigned night guards and, having learned from previous mistakes, even the food had been meticulously checked. Once sure it was safe, she let her subordinates eat. As for herself, she simply ate a Fasting Pill.

“This operation was highly secretive; only a few family higher-ups knew about it, how could someone have set up an ambush beforehand?”

“Could there be someone from our family who leaked the news?”

In her room, Zhao Yan sat at the table, contemplating everything that had happened along the way.

On further thought, there was definitely a possibility. Those in the family, in their struggle for power, were capable of everything.

“I only hope this senior is reliable, and no accidents happen!” Zhao Yan prayed silently in her heart.

Meanwhile, after returning to his room, Xu Mu immediately lay down to rest, seemingly without any caution.

In the dead of night, a silhouette emerged out of nowhere from the darkness, unleashing several streaks of dark light towards the sleeping Xu Mu.

“Old man! Give me back my son!” The voice was filled with a vengeful spirit.

“Your son sought his own death, you can’t blame me!” Xu Mu seemed to suspect it, suddenly sprung up to defend himself with magic, but found an unusual difficulty in mobilizing his spiritual power, even his brain felt a faint dizziness.

Even this slight delay caused him to be directly hit by the dark light and blasted out of the room.

A large hole was blown into the inn, Xu Mu’s body landed on the ground, creating a deep pit, which demonstrated the potency of the dark-light attack.

The figure didn’t escape after landing the hit, instead it continuously launched fierce attacks on the grounded Xu Mu.

All sorts of talismans, magical artifacts, and poisons were poured down on Xu Mu with merciless abandon.

Zhao Yan, who had been on high alert all the time, rushed out of her room as soon as she heard the commotion.

Seeing the figure that was continuously attacking, her pupils shrunk involuntarily.

“Foundation Establishment Stage!”

There was no attempt to conceal it anymore – the figure was undoubtedly on the Foundation Establishment Stage.

“This person must be the Lord of the Divine Gu Valley, we are in trouble now!” Zhao Yan looked towards the area enveloped by the glow of the skills, her heart skipped a beat.

“Is he attacking… the senior?”

A deep dread settled in Zhao Yan’s heart.

The fierce attack would probably be fatal for our senior.
