Chapter 440: Leaving for the Battlefield (2/2)

While Lan smiled, as usual, his eyes were unable to be seen through. They were dark and enigmatic, sucking in one's soul, and making it impossible to guess what he thought.

The happy-go-lucky man's expression cracked when he saw how the eagle was lying on the ground, trembling like a leaf in a storm.

These eagles were all trained by a Primordial Beast. They were bred for use in war, so they should not cower in the face of strength. Even so, the eagle could not even face a single step of Lan.

”We will meet you at the battlefield,” the stoic man said. ”But, are you able to get there on your own?”

It was not that he was looking down on Lan; he was just worried whether or not he was able to find his way.

But Lan just chuckled, nodding his head and said his farewell to Xue Wei.

”I will wait for you at the frontlines,” Lan said to Xue Wei. ”Don't take too long to arrive; I hate waiting.”

Having said this, Lan tore open space, and a dark tunnel appeared in front of him. With a casual goodbye wave of his hand, he stepped into the tunnel, and it closed up behind him.

Everyone was stumped when they saw the actions of Lan. How could he casually rip space apart?! How could he just step into it and vanish without a trace like this?!

They all thought that they were strong, but in the face of absolute strength, they realized how pathetically weak they all were.

Xue Wei was also looking at Lan's vanishing with sparkling eyes, but he was not shocked, neither were his friends. They already knew that Lan was much stronger than what they could even imagine at the current point in time.

They were also aware that Lan had made the dimensional space tunnel that allowed them to leave Chang'an. Since he could let them travel through space, it was nothing for himself to do the same.

Silence descended over the rest of the eagles and the riders. They all knew that Xue Wei was strong, but upon witnessing the strength of one of his followers, they all gulped in fear. What was his real strength like then?

Although Xue Wei was unaware of what they thought, if he had been told, he would have scoffed at them. Did they really think Lan was his follower? Yes, he was following along with them, but that was because Xue Wei had something that Lan needed.

It was evident that Lan was not a person who would do something without a purpose, and while Xue Wei still did not know what Lan's true aim was, he knew that he was not malicious towards him.
