At the mountain’s base,

The atmosphere oscillated between silence and clamor.

Initially, many of the Huang clansmen on duty harbored hope, but in this moment, that hope dwindled.

Monitoring these individuals wasn’t a sought-after assignment. If the Elder Miss favored them, life would improve significantly. In the Huang Clan, no one would bother with them, let alone worry about their sustenance.

After some grumbling and a twinge of regret, these individuals resumed their duties.

Adams, standing beside Gu Chaoyan, released a long sigh of relief.

Thankfully, she had departed.

This meant he had avoided detection.

“Now is not the time to relax. If you had come out earlier, it would have been so simple. Just imagine, if the Elder Miss of the Huang Clan finds you again, she’ll kill you. Be careful,” Gu Chaoyan teased, not missing the chance to gloat.

Adams shot her an irate glare.

Xuelai was truly an enigmatic woman.

Initially naive and willing to undertake anything, she had evolved into a challenging and distant individual. Now…

Adams found it challenging to describe her at the moment. He perpetually wanted to lash out when she spoke, yet he didn’t harbor any hatred or dislike towards her. His frustration mounted, and he gritted his teeth, unable to act on his impulses. The sensation was far from pleasant, and Adams detested it.

“If you stay silent, no one will think you’re mute,” Adams retorted.

Gary stepped forward, shielding his Tribe Chief.

Nonetheless, Gu Chaoyan paid it no mind. She patted him and gestured for him to step aside.

“I’m just stating the truth. Since you haven’t been found, steer clear of them. Let’s contemplate our next steps,” Gu Chaoyan advised.

Discussing future plans made Adams solemn. He didn’t want to waste time on such matters, especially when it involved the lives of hundreds from the Thunder Fire Clan and the Five Elements Clan, along with numerous individuals from other clans.

“Tribe Chief, what’s happening with the Huang Clan?” Gary inquired, puzzled.

Since their arrival at the Huang Clan, things had been peculiar. The Huang Clan had confined these people without clarity on their activities. There was a looming threat of enslavement.

“I don’t know what the Huang Clan is concocting, but they require our blood and bones for sacrifice. With over 10,000 people here, I fear they aim to fill a pool. We need to escape the Huang Clan before that occurs,” Gu Chaoyan revealed truthfully to Gary.

Gary was her most trusted assistant, and he needed to be aware of her plans and arrangements for a smooth collaboration.

“What!” A shocking revelation.

In the past, it was already uncommon for significant clans to capture people from smaller clans as slaves. The Tribe Chief’s words elevated the horror.

The sorcerer nodded, confirming Gu Chaoyan’s statement. If not for this, the sorcerer wouldn’t have been alarmed without cause.

Gary was left agape, seeking clarification, “Then what should we do?”

“We must unite with these tribes; otherwise, we won’t escape and will meet an earlier demise,” Gu Chaoyan truthfully stated, casting a meaningful glance at the sorcerer.
