Chapter 863

The situation was already so tense, and the human race had gained the upper hand, so they did not understand why Chen Ang stopped just like that.

Facing everyone's confusion, Chen Ang did not say much, merely giving the two of them a quiet wink.

The two naturally understood Chen Ang's meaning, so they also put on a magnanimous appearance and followed Chen Ang as he turned to leave.

As the demon race was left behind on the spot, the surrounding crowd began to whisper.

Listening closely, their words were full of accusations.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, the demon race had attacked Chen Ang twice in a row, and Chen Ang had held the advantage both times, yet he had left them a way out twice; anyone could not help but give a thumbs up and call him magnanimous.

Listening to the crowd's words, the military general was so angry his nose was almost crooked.

It was clearly Chen Ang who had used underhanded tactics behind their backs both times, yet the crowd spoke in their favor every time; they were clearly biased against the demon race!

In his anger, the military general shouted the truth to the people around him.

Regarding his claims, the crowd scoffed, and the sounds of mockery grew even louder.

With the opposite effect achieved, the military general was furious and could not help but attack the people around him.

Hearing the sounds of fighting, Chen Ang curled the corners of his mouth slightly.

Seeing the change in his expression, Wan Shitong nudged his shoulder: "Boss, they're fighting again behind us, what's going on?"

"Nothing, the demon race is just seeking its own destruction."

"Seeking its own destruction? You mean they'll beat the military general to death?"

"No one truly wants to beat him to death, but he has been poisoned; eventually, he will die at the hands of one of them."

Once Chen Ang said this, both of them were stunned for a moment.

"Chen Ang, you... what do you mean by that?" Huang Yu asked.

"Exactly what I said. The reason I told you to retreat just now is that I poisoned him. If we didn't leave, he would definitely die in front of us, and the Demon King would certainly use it as an excuse to make trouble. But since we left, the matter has nothing to do with us. As for who he dies at the hands of, with so many people there now, it's hard to determine in the end, so we must walk faster; the further away we are, the safer we are."

Understanding what he meant, the two quickly quickened their pace, as if some wild beast were chasing them from behind.

That evening, news arrived that the military general had been beaten to death on the street; as for who did it, there were too many people at the time, and no one knew.

The matter was exactly as Chen Ang had predicted, which made everyone overjoyed.

"Chen Ang, you are truly divine; things are exactly as you predicted! The military general is really dead!"

Hearing Huang Yu's excited words, Chen Ang pursed his lips.

"This can be considered him getting what he deserved. If he hadn't targeted me, he wouldn't have ended up like this today."

"Indeed, the War God was seeking his own death back then, and now he has followed in the War God's footsteps; it really is self-inflicted. But now that he's dead, there should be no movement from the demon race for the time being. What do you plan to do next? Are we leaving or not?"

Glancing out the window, Chen Ang said softly: "We're leaving. What needed to be prepared is mostly ready, and it's time to hit the road."

Hearing him say it was time to hit the road, Wan Shitong appeared somewhat excited.

"Boss, are we going to look for those ancient items?"

"Yes, we cannot be held back by the demon and devil races forever; we must hold some leverage over them, otherwise we are too passive and will have more trouble later. Moreover, our cultivation has stagnated for a while, and it's time to go out and gain experience to properly improve ourselves."

Hearing his words, Wan Shitong nodded vigorously: "Right, we should also gain some experience. Before, we could still deal with the devil race to practice, but now that we can't move on this level, we have to think of a way ourselves, otherwise, if we keep stagnating, the future probably won't be too optimistic."

"Hmm, pack your things, we leave tomorrow."

After putting everything into their pouches, Chen Ang and Wan Shitong set off light.

Arriving at Li Lao's place, the two explained their intentions.

Upon learning that they were going to search for ancient items, a hint of worry appeared on Li Lao's face.

"Chen Ang, many clansmen are looking for these things; this is muddy water, are you sure you want to wade into it?"

Without any hesitation, Chen Ang nodded directly: "Yes, our human race cannot be manipulated by them forever. Never mind that this is muddy water, even if it were a mountain of blades and a sea of fire, we would have to go. For the future of the human race, we must give it our all."

Hearing his words, Li Lao felt a sense of emotion.

After pondering for a long time, he said: "Chen Ang, it's too dangerous for just the two of you to hit the road. Take my men with you; you are familiar with each other, and it will be convenient to get things done."

Knowing that Li Lao meant well, Chen Ang still refused.

"Li Lao, I appreciate your kindness, but I cannot take your men. The journey ahead is long and full of dangers; I cannot let so many people follow me into danger. Besides, if they leave, you will be in danger here. I cannot put you in a perilous situation for my own selfish desires. Having Wan Shitong by my side is enough."

"Right, having me follow my boss is fine. Although my strength isn't as strong as his, I can share some of the burden for him. Li Lao, no one is more compatible with us than me. With me by my boss's side, you can rest assured."

Knowing they were afraid of implicating him, Li Lao wanted to say something more, but Chen Ang did not give him the opportunity.

"Li Lao, actually, we also want to go out and gain some experience this time, so don't worry. The time is about right, and we'll be on our way."

Seeing that he couldn't stop them, Li Lao had no choice but to nod.

"Chen Ang, the journey is long and the trip is difficult, you must be extremely careful. You don't have to accept my men, but there is something you must accept. Wait for me here for a moment."

After speaking, Li Lao left in a hurry, and Chen Ang couldn't stop him even if he wanted to.

There was no other way, the two could only wait patiently.

After about half an incense stick of time, Li Lao appeared again, with something resembling a map in his hand.

Seeing this thing, Chen Ang felt a bit of curiosity and took it.

Seeing him take it in his hand, Wan Shitong also leaned over.

After looking at it carefully, both of them showed a hint of shock on their faces.

"Li Lao, is this a collection of maps of things left behind by the demon and devil races in the ancient period?" Wan Shitong asked.

"Hmm, actually, our human race has always been looking for these things, but later the demon and devil races became powerful, and our progress was blocked, so there was gradually no news. Now that you are going to embark on this road again, this thing should rightfully be in your hands. Chen Ang, no matter which item you get, it will have a suppressive effect on the demon and devil races. If you can find most of them, they will have no chance of turning things around."

Touching the map collection, Chen Ang nodded vigorously.

"Li Lao, I understand, don't worry, we will definitely do our best."

"Hmm, just do your best. No matter what, saving your own lives is the most important thing. As long as you are safe, it doesn't matter if you get the items or how many you get."

Understanding what he meant, Chen Ang solemnly agreed.

Before leaving, Chen Ang gave Li Lao a letter.

"Li Lao, please trouble yourself to pass this letter to my Master, so he knows where I've gone."

"Good, I will hand it to him personally."

Turning the street corner, Huang Yu blocked their path.

Seeing Huang Yu, Chen Ang was very happy.

"Huang Yu, why are you here? Didn't you say you were busy today?"

"I'm done, Chen Ang, are you leaving?"

"Yes, everything that needed to be instructed has been instructed, and it's time for us to hit the road. By the way, you had people spread the news on your end, right?"

Hearing his words, Huang Yu nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, the news has already been spread. Everyone knows you've gone to do serious business, not that you've left."

"That's good, thanks."

Having had the experience last time, Chen Ang specifically asked Huang Yu to help spread the news this time to avoid further complications.

After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Chen Ang looked up at the sun: "It's getting late, we're leaving, see you when we get back."

After Chen Ang's voice fell, Huang Yu nodded with a smile: "Go ahead."

As he spoke, he followed by Chen Ang's side and started walking.

Seeing him following by his side, Chen Ang said with a smile: "No need to see us off, we'll be back before long, and we'll have a good drink then."

"I'm not seeing you off, I'm going there too."

Hearing his words, Chen Ang didn't think much of it, and the few of them chatted while walking until they reached the edge, but Huang Yu still had no intention of parting with them.

With a hint of confusion, Chen Ang stopped in his tracks.

"Huang Yu, where are you going? We're at the edge now, are you still going to keep walking that way?"

"Wherever you go, I go; wherever you walk, I walk."

Hearing these words, Wan Shitong's eyes lit up.

"Boss Huang, are you going with us?"

Finally waiting for someone to ask this question, Huang Yu nodded with a smile.

"Yes, I'm going with you, you didn't just realize that now, did you?"

"Of course I just realized it now, I wouldn't have dared to be sure if you hadn't said it! Boss Huang, are you really going with us? My boss said it's quite dangerous over there, aren't you afraid?"

After Wan Shitong's question was asked, Huang Yu's face became a bit more serious.
