Hu Lan and Hu Zheng watched the red-clothed woman and her group cautiously.
"Hand over the maps you have on you," the red-clothed woman demanded coldly, looking at Hu Lan and Hu Zheng. She wanted to see if their maps matched her own.
"We don’t have any maps," Hu Lan frowned.
"If you don’t have them, then die," the white-clothed man beside the red-clothed woman interjected, unleashing his long spear, preparing to attack Hu Lan and Hu Zheng.
At that moment, the sound of a flying ship whirred above.
Everyone looked up to see a massive flying ship slowly approaching.
"Why is there a flying ship coming here?" the white-clothed man wondered curiously, watching the ship.
"Could they also be here for the secret realm?" guessed the red-clothed woman.
"Let’s get out of here first," the white-clothed man withdrew his gaze, wanting to kill Hu Lan and Hu Zheng first but, somehow, they had already escaped.
"Damn it!" the white-clothed man cursed under his breath, grabbing the red-clothed woman and running forward. As for the two who escaped, he was determined to find them and finish them off.
Hu Lan and Hu Zheng had run for an hour, ending up gasping for breath before stopping. They were certain that if it weren’t for that flying ship, they would have been killed by the red-clothed woman and her group.
"We’ll find a place to hide first and then see how things go," Hu Lan said, scanning the surroundings for a place to hide.
Hu Zheng nodded. If it were before, the red-clothed woman and her group wouldn’t have been an issue for them; it was indeed a case of a fallen fox being bullied by dogs.
The flying ship slowly descended and landed on the grassland.
As the doors to the flying ship opened, cultivators began to emerge.
Song Yan Ning stepped out of the flying ship, excitement flickering in her eyes. She sensed a familiar scent belonging to their Fox Clan. It seemed her guess had been correct—Devil Grassland definitely had a transmission array.
"Young Prince, do you smell it too?" Elder Mie Yu whispered to Song Yan Ning.
"Yes," Song Yan Ning nodded.
"Should we go look for them now?" Elder Mie Yu asked. The secret realm was about to open, and she was worried about time.
Song Yan Ning nodded again. "Elder Mie Yu, Uncle Qi, I leave this place in your hands," she said. "Yushen and I will go look for our people." Knowing that the Devil Grassland had a Fox Clan presence and that the Fox Clan had left this area not long ago, she naturally wanted to find them first.
"Yes!" responded Elder Mie Yu and Hu Qi.
Following the scent, Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen dashed in a determined direction. She didn’t know which members of the Fox Clan had come to Devil Grassland, but whoever they were, she wouldn’t let them be stranded here.
Hu Lan and Hu Zheng hastily set up an array to hide themselves, using whatever materials they could find on site.
The white-clothed man stopped, swept his Divine Sense across the area, a cold smile curling his lips as he lightly tapped the red-clothed woman and pointed in a direction.
The red-clothed woman followed the direction pointed out by the white-clothed man’s hand and smiled. It was such a coincidence that they were also here.
Hu Lan and Hu Zheng also saw the red-clothed woman and her group. They felt a bit annoyed as they had thought that with the vastness of the grassland, even if the red-clothed woman and her group were pursuing them, they might not be able to catch up. They should have run further away.
Seeing the red-clothed woman and her group approaching their hiding place, Hu Lan and Hu Zheng quickly got up and fled.
