Chapter 443: The Hidden Killing Intent

Although the terrain around Meiluo Canyon is complex, because of that straight canyon, it does not take much time to pass through this place.

Furthermore, a battle at the Saint Domain level had just occurred here, and three Saint Domain-level undead had fallen here. Although these Saint Domain undead had not even opened their own Domain and could only be considered cannon fodder among the Saint Domain, they were still Saint Domain after all, not comparable to ordinary people. Moreover, when Lingyun took action, he also did not use a Domain; relying only on a sword, he killed the three Saint Domain undead within a few moves and simultaneously wiped out their skeleton troops. Such a person must certainly be among the most powerful in the Saint Domain.

Before clarifying the connection between this caravan and that mysterious person, they dared not act rashly. To say that this person had no relation to the caravan at all, they absolutely did not believe it; their scouts saw very clearly that the moment Lingyun appeared was the moment the Saint Domain undead prepared to join the battlefield. This kind of coincidence, under the wild imagination of others, became the meaning that the mysterious person was intercepting the Saint Domain powerhouse who was attacking the caravan. However, facing the Iron Blood Mercenary Group, without a Saint Domain powerhouse taking action, wanting to break through their defenses was simply an impossible thing.

In the eyes of others, with the Iron Blood Mercenary Group defending below the Saint Domain, and Lingyun, a great killing weapon, existing at the Saint Domain level, this caravan had armed itself to the extreme this time. Under these circumstances, those who had ulterior motives also had to dispel their thoughts to avoid bringing disaster upon themselves.

Because no one blocked them, the people of the caravan quickly passed through Meiluo Canyon. Meiluo Canyon, which had been regarded as a bloody place by many mercenaries in the past, did not see a single battle after the initial one.

When they passed through Meiluo Canyon and arrived at Peilun Plain, the sky had already turned gloomy. After discussing it with Kelisi, everyone found a relatively wide place in the vicinity to start setting up camp, and at the same time, they deployed quite a few Warning Magic Arrays.

Although Peilun Plain is safer compared to Meiluo Canyon, that is only relative; the number of people who lose their lives on this plain every year is not small. The danger in Meiluo Canyon is man-made, mainly various desperate criminals and mountain bandits; on Peilun Plain, the main threats come from nature. Compared to the massive wolf packs, bloodthirsty eagle flocks, and the occasional death storms and heavy rainstorms that roam the plain, the horse bandits on the plain are far inferior.

After laying down layers of Defensive Magic and arranging personnel for vigilance, Kanglikeduo let out a long sigh and found a suitable place to lie down and rest.

Recalling today's experience, even he himself felt somewhat shocked. First, a Saint Domain Undead Archmage appeared on the other side, summoning a large number of undead to besiege them. Afterward, a Saint Domain Magus also appeared on the caravan's side, almost destroying the entire Undead Legion with their own strength. Subsequently, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and three Saint Domain undead actually appeared on the battlefield. The final result was even more unexpected: a mysterious Saint Domain expert took action, killing those three Saint Domain undead in just a few moves, and finally wiped out almost all the undead present in one strike.

"No, this kind of experience, after going back, I must brag about it properly to Boqi and the others, to see if they still dare to keep boasting in front of me about what kind of big scenes they have experienced!" Kanglikeduo took a nice sip of wine, the corners of his mouth curling into an inexplicable smile.

"Lingyun, looking at their layout, is it too relaxed?" In the tent, Chen Jing asked Lingyun.

"Relaxed?" The corners of Lingyun's mouth curled slightly. "This relaxation of theirs is entirely put on for people to see. Don't look at how they have deployed many Warning Magic Arrays; those magic arrays can be bypassed with just a little trick. The real people keeping watch are those mercenaries who look lazy; every one of them is an expert at reconnaissance and vigilance, and they all have precious reconnaissance tools in their hands. As long as someone approaches within three thousand meters of this area, they can sound the alarm at the first moment. Moreover, they have also hidden quite a few magic arrays; those magic arrays are also an effective means of vigilance."

"Three thousand meters? This distance is grasped very cleverly!" Chen Jing said. "As long as it is below the Saint Domain, an attack needs a certain amount of time to cross a distance of three thousand meters. After controlling this distance well, wanting to launch a surprise attack on this caravan is almost an impossible thing."

"So, don't underestimate this mercenary group. They can make a name for themselves on this Continent, which shows that they definitely have their own superior points!" Lingyun said.

"Lingyun, do you feel that there is something wrong around here? I feel that there seems to be a faint trace of malice around here," Aiweier said softly to Lingyun.

"There is, but this malice hides itself very well, so the two of us were unable to find the other party's location for a moment!" Chen Jing and Su Wanyue said.

"Wait, you two can perceive it?" Aiweier looked at Chen Jing and the other girl in astonishment.

The reason she was able to perceive that inexplicable malice was because her own strength was formidable. Although her Mental Power had been weakened quite a bit due to the suppression of the Wind Holy Sword, it was still stronger than the average Saint Domain. Under these circumstances, she was able to detect the malice hidden in the dark, but what means did these two young girls before her rely on to perceive that faint malice?

Aiweier did not know why, but Lingyun himself knew very clearly. During this period, Chen Jing and the other girl had been honing their Mental Power, preparing to sublimate their Mental Power into a more powerful Divine Sense when advancing to the Golden Core stage. Now, although the two of them had not yet transformed their Mental Power into Divine Sense, they already possessed a portion of the power of Divine Sense, which was why they could perceive that thin malice hidden in the dark.

"Hmm? A bit of skill, actually running to this place." Lingyun's eyebrows raised slightly; he stood up, walked out of the tent, and looked toward the distant plain.

The cold moonlight spilled down from the sky, covering the entire plain in a thin veil. On the seemingly calm plain, danger had already approached this caravan.

In the darkness, a shadow was approaching the direction of the camp at an extremely slow speed, having already neared a distance of five hundred meters from the camp. Being able to approach within five hundred meters of the camp under the vigilance of the Iron Blood Mercenary Group was enough to show the skill of the person who came.

"I can't let you get close to this place, otherwise I will be very troubled!" Lingyun's eyebrows raised slightly, and a trace of aura radiated from his body, enveloping the direction of the shadow. That appearance was just like someone carelessly sweeping that area with their Mental Power.

The shadow lurking in the darkness had its body stiffen involuntarily when Lingyun's power enveloped it. After that aura swept over its body, the shadow quietly moved backward. Once it moved out of the Iron Blood Mercenary Group's alert range, the shadow instantly accelerated and flew away toward the dark plain.

"You three stay here properly, I'll go meet that guest!" Lingyun returned to the tent and said to the three women, after which his figure turned into a residual shadow and disappeared into the dark night.
