Chapter 85 The Mysterious Old Man

"We mustn't be careless; the secret realm is sure to hold dangers," Yun Lang sighed.

A moment's lapse could cost them their lives; they were all quite clear on that point.

Seeing this, everyone found themselves in a difficult position, as they had all witnessed it.

If danger truly struck, they would have to bear the consequences themselves.

"This... shall we take turns keeping watch?"

"Precisely, someone must stand sentry," Han Weiguo said seriously.

If danger approached and was spotted by the sentry, they could all escape peril.

"Who will?" Xie Qiye frowned.

He looked at Yun Lang with a puzzled expression, as keeping watch was a strenuous task.

A single mistake could lead to trouble.

"Don't look at me, I... I need to conserve my energy."

"You..." Xie Qiye was speechless.

He hadn't even suggested Han Weiguo should stand watch, and the man had already refused.

"Alright, let me do it."

Yun Lang proposed.

Since they were unwilling to stand watch, those without a sentry would surely be in danger.

Therefore, no matter the circumstances, he had no choice but to step forward himself.

"You..." Xie Qiye was confused.

If Yun Lang stood watch, how would they deal with danger tomorrow?

"No! I object."

"If you object, then you do it," Han Weiguo retorted disdainfully.

He hadn't offered a solution himself but refused to let others step up, clearly intending to cause trouble.

However, there was nothing they could do; they all understood the situation.

If real trouble arose, the outcome would undoubtedly be different.

"Speak, what are your positions on this?"

This unexpected turn of events brought them trouble, yet no one stepped forward to explain.

Seeing this, everyone became uneasy, as they had made preparations and weren't sure how to explain.

"I certainly disagree," Xie Qiye stated.

His aim was to have Han Weiguo keep watch, as he was the most timid.

But in the end, preparations were made; only the future would reveal the troubles ahead.

After all, everyone had their own thoughts, and any future troubles would be their own doing.

"What do you mean by disagreeing? Do you expect me to do it?" Han Weiguo asked in surprise.

They had seen the situation unfold. If other troubles arose, it would be impossible to manage.

"No need to argue, I'll handle this matter."

Yun Lang waved his hand.

If they continued to bicker like this, who knew when it would end.

After all, they all understood how things worked, and someone would eventually step forward.

"You..."

Xie Qiye was speechless.

However, he didn't say anything further, knowing that Yun Lang had already decided.

"It's settled then," Han Weiguo shrugged.

He showed no hesitation, as this was how they all saw the situation.

If troubles arose in the future, it would be more than just the current predicament.

"Damn it!" Xie Qiye cursed.

Then he slowly walked away, no longer paying attention to their opinions.

After all, everyone had their own thoughts, and if problems truly arose, someone would eventually step forward.

Late at night!

While the other two slept soundly, Yun Lang slowly got up and walked away.

"Strange, why is it so quiet."

The bonfire burned brightly, but he hadn't expected it to be so utterly silent.

There should have been demonic beasts appearing, yet at this moment, there was not a sound.

This made him uneasy, and if trouble were to arise, it might not be something they could control.

Whoosh!

Just then, a black shadow flashed past him.

"Who!"

Yun Lang exclaimed nervously.

At this moment, Han Weiguo's words echoed in his mind; indeed, something was lurking here.

"Hmph! Let's see how you escape."

Yun Lang gave the shadow no chance to flee. Although its speed was lightning-fast,

Yun Lang's strength was no less. He directly pursued it forward.

Whoosh!

A gust of wind swept by.

Everyone was stunned. No one had expected his speed to be so incredibly fast.

And at this point, they were all worried, as no matter what, they appeared tense.

"Damn it! Such speed."

Despite Yun Lang's current strength, he was still unable to catch up to them.

However, even so, he had no intention of giving up, as he knew the other party was human.

But how could someone who could survive in a secret realm and possess such strength be easily forgotten?

Two figures, in the blink of an eye, had charged out of the forest and were streaking towards a distant mountaintop.

It was precisely because of this that they became troubled, as the situation before them was beyond their comprehension.

If trouble arose, it would undoubtedly be more than what they were currently facing.

"Stop!"

Just as Yun Lang closed the distance, he suddenly roared.

As expected.

The figure stopped abruptly upon hearing his voice.

"Senior, who are you? How have you appeared in this secret realm?"

Yun Lang clasped his fists respectfully.

After all, he was unsure if the other party was friend or foe. If he offended them, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Haha, how many years has it been? I can't quite recall. But what is your purpose in coming here?"

A hoary voice rang out.

It was clear that the old man standing before Yun Lang intended to inquire about his purpose in the secret realm.

However, Yun Lang knew that he had come for the treasures within the secret realm.

But what was the old man's purpose here? They were all unclear.

"This junior is a disciple of the Tai Chu Sect. I have come merely for training?"

"Training?"

"Haha, a mere Foundation Establishment realm. What qualifications do you have to be here?"

The old man sneered.

Through the pursuit, he had already seen through Yun Lang's strength.

"You..." Yun Lang was astonished.

Upon further inspection, he couldn't discern the old man's cultivation level at all.

But judging by his speed just now, he was undoubtedly no ordinary person.

"Strange, how can this be?"

"Hmph! Insolent!"

The old man rebuked.

He suddenly unleashed a powerful aura.

"Ah!" Yun Lang's face turned ashen with fear.

Even at the Tai Chu Sect, the unnamed peak masters of the Nascent Soul realm did not possess such might as he did.

"If this already overwhelms you, perhaps it's best to return early."

"Senior! You... you are mistaken."

Just then, feeling the pressure of the aura, Yun Lang clenched his fists.
