Because the situation was a little strange, the nine people of the Chu Clan suddenly slowed down, but Lu An's speed did not change, and he quickly caught up with them. The situation of the distant city was naturally seen by Lu An, and what was important was not that the city was intact, but that no one could be seen in the sky above the city.
They were still very far from the city, and they could only vaguely see it with their eyes, not to mention their perception. They could not touch the city at all. The nine people of the Chu Clan were very slow, and Lu An naturally would not maintain his own speed. He also slowed down, and did not get too close to the nine people, but stayed about two hundred feet behind them.
The nine people of the Chu Clan naturally noticed Lu An's actions, which made them frown, but they could not say anything to Lu An. Two hundred feet was neither far nor close, and Lu An was obviously on guard against them.
After the captain of the Chu Clan glanced at Lu An, his eyes were a little cold, but he did not pay too much attention to Lu An. No matter what the situation of the city ahead was, they had to enter the city and investigate to be sure. They could not see anything from such a distance. The other people of the Chu Clan followed the captain's speed. The captain's speed suddenly decreased, but he did not stop, and continued to advance at a low speed. The other people of the Chu Clan naturally also advanced at a low speed.
Since they could already see the city in the distance, it meant that it would not take much time, even at such a low speed. The nine people of the Chu Clan at the front were very cautious, releasing their perception to penetrate the ground with all their might, to see if there were any Spirit Race people hiding underground. But generally speaking, it was not very likely that the Spirit Race people would hide underground and launch a sneak attack. At least, there was no such example in the previous battle. The nine people of the Chu Clan were doing this based on their experience in carrying out missions in the Milky Way. Lu An, who was at the back of the group, did not release too much perception, and only released spatial perception to check if there were any abnormalities in the space.
The speed of the nine people of the Chu Clan was very slow, so slow that even the space was not destroyed. It was almost close to the speed of a peak level eight Heavenly Master, which was enough to show how slow and cautious they were. Just like this, the ten people soon arrived forty thousand feet away from the edge of the city, and the distance was quickly shortened, and they soon arrived at the edge of the city.
This city was very big, so big that even the perception of a Heaven Tier warrior could not cover it completely, and could only cover a quarter of the city. The nine people of the Chu Clan didn't dare to be too far apart from each other, in case they couldn't provide timely assistance if they encountered a situation. They only stood in a row, but the distance between each other was only about five hundred feet.
Of course, the captain of the Chu Clan did not ask Lu An to do so, so Lu An naturally did not take the initiative to join the line. Lu An was just as cautious. In fact, he was even more cautious than the nine Chu clansmen. He was not stingy in activating the Realm of the Demon Gods. His red pupils, which were half-hidden in the darkness, observed the entire city and spread out his senses even more.
The nine Chu clansmen in front of him were flying too slowly, causing the space around them to be very stable. As such, if there were any Spirit Race people hiding in the space around them, it would be very difficult for them to be discovered. After all, the area that the nine Chu clansmen were destroying the space around them would definitely be far greater than what he could sense. However, Lu An did not say anything. He just tried his best to expand his spatial perception, especially toward the sky and the ground. At the same time, he began to mobilize the power of darkness in his body, ready to face any situation at any time.
Lu An didn't trust these nine people of the Chu Clan, nor did he expect these nine people to protect him after the battle.
As he probed, the nine Chu clansmen in front of him advanced deeper and deeper into the city. Very quickly, they arrived at the center of the city. Up until now, the nine Chu clansmen still hadn't sensed anything out of the ordinary. Furthermore, they had already arrived at the center of the city, allowing them to breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that there really was no one here. Perhaps the Spirit Race people had discovered that this was an empty city after arriving and were too lazy to waste time and energy to destroy it, so they had directly left.
The captain of the Chu Clan at the very front stopped in midair. The eight people on either side of him also stopped when they saw this. Lu An, who was four hundred feet behind them, could only stop in midair. Lu An frowned slightly. It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with the nine Chu clansmen stopping. From Lu An's point of view, unless one had absolute confidence in winning, stopping on the battlefield was a very unwise thing to do. That was because it would give the enemy a chance to prepare.
However, Lu An still did not say anything. He just quietly followed behind the nine Chu clansmen.
The nine Chu clansmen were all looking into the distance, observing their surroundings. In the process of observing, they would naturally look at Lu An. They also wanted to see what Lu An was doing, especially Lu An's expression. This was something that was very difficult to determine with one's perception. Very quickly, they discovered that Lu An's brows were slightly furrowed. His expression was somewhat serious, as if he was even more nervous than them.
From an outsider's perspective, Lu An had always been calm and collected. They didn't expect that they would actually see Lu An in such a serious mood. This made them feel very surprised. This was the first time they had come into contact with Lu An. It made them feel that the other party wasn't as mysterious as the rumors said. After all, many things would become very exaggerated once they were spread. From this, it seemed that Lu An wasn't that amazing.
Among the nine Chu clansmen, there were two whose gazes were more obscure and reserved. These two were the trusted aides of the Chu Clan's young master, Chu Yu.
Although the two of them were stronger than Chu Yu, Chu Yu was still the young master, and also Chu Hanming's only son. It was very likely that he would inherit the position of young master in the future. Even if the time came, the position of clan leader of the Hachiko clan would be taken by the capable, and Chu Yu's talent wasn't high. It was very likely that the position of clan leader wouldn't belong to Chu Yu. But the key problem was that at least for as long as Chu Hanming was alive, Chu Yu would definitely be the young master. And Chu Hanming was a Heavenly King Realm expert, and had only lived for two thousand years. He still had at least three thousand years of lifespan. They didn't think that they had any hope of breaking through to the Heavenly King Realm, so as long as they held onto Chu Yu's thigh, they would definitely be able to live for the rest of their lives.
They were Chu Yu's trusted aides, so they naturally knew that the young master's hatred for Lu An had been growing. If they could help deal with Lu An, the young master would definitely appreciate them. However, it was definitely not easy to kill Lu An. Regardless of Lu An's strength and battle record, and regardless of the difficulty of killing Lu An, the most important thing was to not be discovered. Otherwise, once it was discovered that the Chu clan was behind this, something big would definitely happen.
Therefore, if the Spirit Race didn't appear, they definitely couldn't do anything. They could only return like this. They definitely couldn't take any risks.
"Captain," the person closest to the captain asked, "what should we do now?"
The captain of the Chu clan glanced at the person who asked the question, then looked at Lu An, who was four thousand feet away. After thinking quickly, he said, "Since there are no enemies, let's return immediately."
"But … the enemies haven't seen us working together with Lu An," the person said.
"We need to go back and listen to the arrangements," the captain said. "It's very likely that the person in charge will ask us to work together again and head to the next battlefield until we encounter the enemy."
The person nodded. The captain of the Chu clan didn't waste any more time. There was no need to investigate the remaining parts of the city. He opened his mouth and shouted to the lined team members, "Everyone, listen up. Retreat from the battlefield and return to headquarters!"
"Yes!" the eight team members immediately shouted when they heard this.
Lu An looked at the captain of the Chu clan. He had no objections to retreating. His spatial perception had been constantly changing. He could sense a certain range, and at least within this range, he didn't sense the enemy's figure. He wasn't the captain. Since the captain wanted to retreat, he would naturally obey.
Immediately, the captain of the Chu clan turned around. They couldn't leave the Door of Poison Fire here. Otherwise, it was very likely that the location of the allied forces' headquarters would be discovered. Although the Spirit Race wouldn't dare to attack even if they found out, it was still better to hide. They needed to leave the city for a certain distance before leaving the teleportation array. Alternatively, they could simply return to the teleportation array from which they came.
Turning back the way they came meant that the nine of them were heading toward Lu An.
Lu An's eyes were slightly cold. Although he didn't seem to have changed on the surface, in fact, when he saw the nine people coming, he was already prepared to fight in case they suddenly attacked. One had to be vigilant. Lu An wouldn't joke about his life.
Four thousand feet was very close, especially when it was compared to the speed of a Heaven Realm expert. He didn't need to control his speed when he turned back, so the captain of the Chu clan was very fast. He even left afterimages in Lu An's eyes.
Whoosh!
In an instant, the captain of the Chu clan arrived in front of Lu An.
Then …
Boom!!!
A shocking explosion resounded through the world!
