Chapter 461: The Ravine (2/2)
”General Lin,” Xue Wei greeted him respectfully and nodded his head. Seeing the respect that Xue Wei gave him made Lin Xuan feel very comfortable about himself, and he could not help but laugh happily.
”I did not expect to see you here,” he admitted generously, but Xue Wei just smiled, not willing to tell how he had found them.
While Lan had not directly said that he wanted to be unknown, Xue Wei knew that he would be annoyed if everyone knew of his strength. They might even try and pressure him into solving the problem at hand, which in turn would end up with the soldiers of the Demon Phoenix Continent dying a gruesome death, as Lan was not someone that others could coerce into working for them.
Lin Xuan guessed that they had something that could not be said, but as long as it was no threat to the rest of the soldiers in the army, he did not want to pressure them too much. Xue Wei was after all his benefactor, and he had seen how even the Emperor treated him with respect.
”Follow me, and I will take you to see the other members we have gathered here,” Lin Xuan said and led them through the meadow, towards a small ravine located in a mountain behind the lush grass.
At first glance, this ravine seemed inconspicuous, but upon closer look, it was much deeper than one would expect.
In this deep ravine, multiple tents and shelters had been set up, and thousands of experts were gathered in teams, sparring and conversing. Clearly, this was the biggest camp from the Demon Phoenix Continent's army.
Xue Wei looked around, but it was not only him who looked at it, but everyone in the ravine also stopped and looked at Xue Wei and his entourage as they entered.
They were all members of the Demon Phoenix Army, and they were all curious whenever new people appeared in their location. Usually, the Emperor, or the King ranked experts were the one that would have fetched the soldiers from around the Xiyang Continent, but now it seemed that these soldiers had arrived on their own.
What was even more puzzling was how a King ranked expert was so humble in front of a group of Saints. Although these Saints were more in numbers, they were on a completely different level than the King ranked experts, and thus the observers were confused.
The other Kings and the Emperor ranked expert also noticed the arrival of Ghost Sword Lin Xuan, and they were surprised to see him return with a group of experts.
”Hey, old man Lin, who have you brought back with you?” One of the people who came forth was a young boy. He did not seem much more than ten years old, but his eyes sparkled with the vicissitudes of life.
