Back then, Long Woo-seok and Lin Yun had been worried that the Assassination Society would take advantage of the night to attack them. Hence, these 200 patrolling soldiers were all top-notch Martial Arts Grandmasters.
Even if it was Wu Huang, he wouldn't be able to move freely among 200 Martial Arts Grandmasters.
"Those who died were all ordinary soldiers …" Lin Yun muttered and frowned.
The hundreds of people who had died were either not at King Wu's level or were ordinary people. It didn't seem like they had caused much damage to the Assassination Society.
"Brother Lin Yun, what's going on?" Long Woo-seok hurried over and asked Lin Yun.
If this matter wasn't resolved, the army would only be in a state of panic and the number of soldiers would decrease. When that happened, the army would probably be disbanded before they could even reach the Assassination Society's headquarters.
"There are no wounds." Lin Yun was also a little confused. These dead soldiers had no wounds and their internal organs were intact. It seemed like they had died suddenly without any warning.
"Is there any water attribute Wu Huang?" Lin Yun looked around and asked.
"Deputy Commander, I am!" Just then, a level-four Wu Huang walked out.
"Check the surrounding water veins and see if there's anything strange in there," Lin Yun instructed.
The level-four Wu Huang nodded and led a few people in the direction of the water veins.
On the other side, Lin Yun also released his Divine Sense and covered everything in the surroundings. He wanted to see if there was anything strange.
The army was in a state of chaos. The soldiers were all terrified and cautiously discussed this matter.
After a long time, Lin Yun retracted his Divine Sense and looked at Xiao Yin. He shook his head to indicate that he hadn't found anything.
At this time, the level-four Wu Huang also returned and told Lin Yun that he hadn't found anything in the water veins.
"There's nothing wrong with the air or the water …" Lin Yun murmured. He couldn't understand.
He didn't sleep last night, but he didn't notice anything strange.
If there really was an intruder, it would be impossible for him to kill so many people so quietly under his watch.
Moreover, this person only killed a few people in each tent. If there were really invaders, he wouldn't have to put in so much effort. He could just kill everyone in a tent.
At this time, the noise in the army was getting louder and louder. Now, these soldiers were worried that they would mysteriously die in this place.
"All of you, quiet down!" Long Woo-seok had a splitting headache from all the noise. He roared angrily, mixed with the roars of tigers and dragons, directly drowning out everyone's voices.
When these people heard Long Woo-seok's roar, they trembled and lowered their heads, not daring to speak.
However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that after just one night, their morale was no longer as good as before.
"Brother Lin Yun, this doesn't seem to work …" Long Woo-seok looked at Lin Yun worriedly. If he didn't give these soldiers an explanation today, their morale might just collapse just like that.
Lin Yun frowned, feeling helpless as well.
"Lin Yun, is this man-made, or what's going on?" Xiao Yin asked worriedly.
"It should be man-made." Lin Yun said as he looked up at the sky.
After he released his consciousness, he realized that there were no poisonous substances in the air, and there were no problems with the soil and water either.
In that case, the only thing that could have caused this to happen was man-made.
But even if he knew that it was man-made, he didn't see the culprit and didn't know where the culprit was. How could he solve it?
"Sect Master, I have a plan that can temporarily appease the morale of the army." Just then, Long Chenfeng said in a low voice.
Lin Yun and the rest looked at Long Chenfeng as well, wanting to hear what kind of plan he had in mind.
After listening to Long Chenfeng's plan, Lin Yun and the rest revealed helpless expressions.
"I guess that's the only way." Long Woo-seok sighed.
Lin Yun nodded his head, and Xiao Yin expressed that she had no objections as well.
"Chenfeng, I'll leave this matter to you." Long Woo-seok patted Long Chenfeng's shoulder and said helplessly.
Long Chenfeng sighed and walked to the front of the crowd.
The moment the army saw Long Chenfeng, they turned to look at him, wanting to know the truth of the matter.
"Soldiers! We've found out the truth about our brothers dying last night! "Long Chenfeng raised his voice and shouted.
Everyone looked at Long Chenfeng anxiously.
"As everyone knows, we'll reach the Eastern Mountain Range in five days."
"Now that the assassins are afraid of our army, they've decided to release poison gas in the Eastern Mountain Range."
"The poison gas can spread through the air, and our brothers with weaker physiques will indeed lose their lives because of it."
The moment he said that, the soldiers broke into a commotion as they whispered to each other in fear.
"What should we do?"
"We haven't even reached the Eastern Mountain Range … and we're already losing people."
"For the past month, a few thousand people have died every day. How many will be left by the time we reach the Eastern Mountain Range?"
"Soldiers, don't worry!" Long Chenfeng injected some Immortal Qi into his voice, causing everyone to quieten down.
"The Commander and Deputy Commander will work overnight to create an antidote for the poison gas. By then, the poison gas will be useless."
On the other side, Long Woo-seok and Xiao Yin looked at each other with a bitter smile. This was Long Chenfeng's plan to stall for time.
After all, if they hadn't done this, it would have been difficult for them to even advance.
After Long Chenfeng's persuasion and consolation, the army gradually calmed down and continued to advance.
As the army advanced, Lin Yun and the other two sat on the backs of the flood dragons and flew above the army.
"Damn it! What kind of person could kill someone so stealthily? " Long Woo-seok was filled with anger. This was only the first night of their march, and they had already encountered such a thing.
More importantly, they didn't even know who their enemy was, what they looked like, or what abilities they had.
"Chen Feng's plan is just a stalling tactic." Xiao Yin shook her head and sighed. "I only hope that something like this won't happen again tonight."
Including Lin Yun, who was silent at the side, he was also at his wit's end.
Time passed quietly. As the sun and moon alternated, darkness slowly covered the entire sky. The army of the Northern Mountain Range once again set up camp on the ground.
Because of last night's incident, Long Woo-seok ordered all the team leaders to guard every corner of the camp. They were strictly guarded, not even letting a fly in.
In a tent, there were many people who couldn't sleep. They held their weapons vigilantly and opened their eyes wide, not daring to relax in the slightest.
"Boss … do you think I've inhaled too much poison gas recently?" It was still the young lad from the night before. He looked at the man beside him worriedly.
"It's fine. I'm your big brother, King Wu. If there's anything, I'll take care of it for you. Go sleep. "The man smiled and patted his shoulder.
