Xiabong Castellan.
Castellan Wei Zhong didn't leave the meeting hall after making arrangements. He waited there for news. He believed that his subordinates would find something in the shortest time possible. He didn't even take the time to care about his son who had been distracted ever since he returned from Zhiling City.
As expected, the news came very quickly.
Wei Bao, with two broken ankles and a face as white as a sheet, was carried out of the meeting hall by two secret agents.
Blood splattered all the way. Wei Bao didn't even bother to tend to his injuries and went to the meeting hall first.
"Castellan, Wei Bao requests an audience." It was a short sentence, but there were many parts of it that were not complete. It was obvious how much pain Wei Bao was enduring.
Wei Zhong had already seen Wei Bao and even saw his condition. His expression quickly turned cold. This wasn't the situation he wanted to see.
"Speak," Wei Zhong said.
"There's an expert in Zhenfeng College. He's Guo Youdao's servant. His name is Guo Ting. Wei Hu and I can't see through him." Wei Bao gritted his teeth and reported.
Guo Ting. Wei Zhong had never paid attention to this name before. But from Lu Ping to this Guo Ting, how many hidden experts were there in Zhenfeng College? Was there something strange about this college?
"Gather all the information regarding the Zhai Feng Academy. Analyze and sort through all of it. Don't let go of any unusual clues." Wei Zhong said.
A place that could make a guard of the Castellan Residence break his ankles and run back with his tail between his legs should be considered a strong enemy. Wei Zhong had thought that he could easily control Zhenfeng College. Now he realized that he was gravely mistaken. Zhenfeng College wasn't that simple. How many experts like Lu Ping and Guo Ting were there? Before he could figure this out, he shouldn't take any action.
In the end, the Castellan Residence's first target was Lu Ping's students. Zhenfeng College was originally a bargaining chip that they wanted to control, but if the price of controlling this bargaining chip was too high, then they would have to carefully consider whether it was appropriate to use it as a breakthrough point against Lu Ping.
"Go and get treated first." Wei Zhong waved his hand. He did not punish Wei Bao. He had underestimated the strength of Zhenfeng College. This was not Wei Bao and Wei Hu's fault, this was the fault of the entire City Lord Mansion.
"Yes." Wei Bao was immediately sent away by two secret agents to be treated. Wei Zhong was left alone in the meeting hall, deep in thought.
The Gorge Mountains.
It cut off thousands of miles of fertile land in the Zhiling district. The entire Gorge Peak area was now part of the mountain. From the Zhiling district to the Gorge Peak district, there was only one rugged mountain path. It would take a few days for ordinary people to walk, but Lu Ping's group, as well as the Perception realm students of Canyon Peak Academy, were much stronger than ordinary people in all aspects. They would need to spend a night in the mountains to walk out of Canyon Peak Mountain.
Wei Kang. He had been ordered to visit the Institute Overseer at the Dark Army capital.
Six secret agents stationed in Zhiling City had been ordered to return to Zhiling City to investigate the movements of the factions there.
They all needed to pass through Canyon Peak Mountain to leave the Gorge Peak District. Before reaching Zhiling City, they were on the same path.
But the two sides did not walk together. Wei Kang had received his orders less than a minute earlier than the six secret agents, but the distance he had pulled away from them was about a day's walk for an ordinary person.
At this speed, he would be able to walk out of Canyon Peak Mountain before nightfall. If he travelled through the night, he could reach the Dark Army capital in two days.
Wei Kang calculated in his mind. He only wanted to complete the mission that City Lord Wei Zhong had given him as quickly as possible. Travel together? Rest during the journey? He did not consider any of this. He only cared about how to increase his speed and walk more efficiently.
So he didn't even follow the entire mountain path. Places that were too dangerous and rugged for ordinary people, places that they had no choice but to take a detour were directly stepped on by Wei Kang.
He walked a path that ordinary people would not be able to take. It was lonely, but it led to his destination. But as he walked, Wei Kang's plan was disrupted. He didn't know what had happened in the mountain forest, but the fallen trees blocked the path he was heading in.
Wei Kang frowned. He looked left and right. Whether he should go around, force his way through, or any other method. He had already wasted some time here.
However, even if it was a waste, he had to do his best to minimize it. After observing his surroundings, Wei Kang finally jumped up and prepared to directly pass through the trees that had been smashed together.
Wei Kang was very agile and his choice of landing spot was very accurate. It didn't look like it was his first time. It looked like he had practiced this thousands of times.
The trees that Wei Kang stepped on swayed. The branches and leaves swayed, occasionally revealing cracks that allowed sunlight to seep in like flowing light. Wei Kang's eyes were also constantly flickering with light, which made him a little uncomfortable. His eyes began to subconsciously avoid these flashes of light. Suddenly, he felt that there was a different flow in the air.
It was an arrow!
Wei Kang had already made a judgment in that instant. He stomped down hard with his right foot that was stepping on the tree trunk, and the thick tree trunk immediately snapped. Wei Kang's figure quickly sank down.
The arrow flew over his head. He could feel the sharp wind of the arrow incomparably familiarly, but this arrow did not make the slightest sound.
Nightingale! The God of Arrows!
A name flashed in Wei Kang's mind. It could be said that she was the number one public enemy who brought the biggest trouble to the City Lord's Mansion in the Gorge District.
But it was said that the arrow of the God of Arrows never missed. But he just dodged this arrow because it wasn't from the God of Arrows. Or was it just a boast to boost morale?
Wei Kang didn't have time to analyze this at the moment. Although he had landed on the ground, the trees around him were like a cage, and he couldn't find a way out for a moment.
It was a trap!
At this point, how could Wei Kang not know that this was an ambush environment deliberately designed by the enemy?
But it wasn't that simple!
The trees blocked Wei Kang's way, but at the same time, they were also his cover. He couldn't find a way out for a while, but he found four hiding places at a glance.
Wei Kang rolled on the ground and hid in one of them. He hid and waited for the right time.
He hid himself quietly, but his opponent, who was originally hidden, began to speak carelessly at this time.
"The environment is good." One person said.
"The timing is not good. Why not choose to attack when he jumps in the air?" Another voice said.
"Compared to jumping in the air, it's more threatening not to be seen, isn't it?"
"He dodged, and you still say it's a threat?"
"If there's no threat, there's no need to hide at all, right?"
"Anyway, he missed."
"And you say he's the God of Arrows?"
"All of you, shut up!!" A reprimanding voice rang out.
Sure enough, he's the God of Arrows!
Wei Kang, who was quietly hiding, thought to himself as he listened to the chatter. And this God of Arrows, it seemed that there was a lot of bragging! But this noisy discussion, was this the Nightingale organization that did things flawlessly and gave the City Lord's Mansion headaches?
