Rather, they were charging toward the two Howling Firmament Beast cubs to share Yan Nuo and Yan Jin’s burden.
Needless to say, they were Qian Jiyun’s people. But An Jiuyue asked anyway.
“Those are the Rong brothers, Rong Gu, Rong Mo, and Rong Luo. They work under me.”
They were weaker than Yan Nuo and Yan Jin, but their cooperation allowed them to defeat the two Howling Firmament Beast cubs quickly.
They did not kill the beasts. Instead, the beasts turned and fled after roaring a few times.
Now that they were free, they immediately approached Qian Jiyun.
“Master, you’re finally back.” Rong Gu smiled, his eyes filled with excitement.
“You’ve worked hard.” Qian Jiyun nodded at them.
“Not at all, not at all.” Rong Mo shook his head quickly, his hands gesturing along, looking a little comical.
Cultivating at Huayan Peak was something they had never dared to dream of. Why would it be hard work?
He believed that no one could do anything to them if they returned to Daqing Kingdom at their current strength. They could crush anyone who dared to provoke them in minutes!
Yan Nuo put away his sword and asked, “Rong Gu, why are you here?”
“We heard from Yan Qin and Gong Cheng that you’ll be coming soon. We’ve been waiting here,” Rong Gu said, glancing at him.
“Master, there have been some riots in the north recently. We should leave as soon as possible,” Rong Luo reminded Qian Jiyun.
“What happened?” Qian Jiyun asked with a deep gaze.
He had sensed something amiss when the Howling Firmament Beast cubs lunged at them to fight.
“I’m not sure which faction killed more than 10 Howling Firmament Beast cubs here and severed their horns. Their corpses are also abnormally terrifying. Hence, the Howling Firmament Beasts here are showing signs of madness recently,” Rong Gu said with a solemn expression.
Everyone could understand killing the Howling Firmament Beast, but few people killed the cubs.
They could have killed the cubs a moment ago, but they still let them off. After all, it was not easy for these cubs to grow.
Was killing demonic beasts not everyone’s true motive for coming to Huayan Peak?
However, some people would kill the weak cubs for selfish gains because their horns could be used as medicine.
“Killed the cubs?” An Jiuyue frowned slightly and looked at Qian Jiyun.
“There are many heinous people at Huayan Peak,” Qian Jiyun reminded her.
One should not trust anyone easily here. Any action could lead to doom. The reality was harsh.
“Oh, okay.” An Jiuyue nodded.
She understood the law of the jungle. After all, she had acted on this principle in her previous life.
“Master, this must be the Mistress?” Rong Gu and the other two looked at An Jiuyue in unison.
With a layer of dark green liquid smeared on An Jiuyue’s face, they could not tell what she looked like. However, they believed that someone their master would protect so much had to be devastatingly beautiful.
“Mhm,” Qian Jiyun replied simply.
“Greetings, Mistress.” Rong Gu immediately bowed to An Jiuyue, as did the other two.
