Chapter 2806: Chapter 2806: Did It… Fail?
It seems this group didn’t benefit and doesn’t want to risk their lives for that behind-the-scenes person.
“The leader they’re talking about should be able to contact that person behind the scenes, right? Should we wait here?” An Jiuyue asked Wei Na.
“Why not just release a Paper Person? What if that so-called leader doesn’t show up for days?” Wei Na suggested.
If that person doesn’t come, can they just keep waiting here? Anyway, the points in the Points Mall are endless. It’s better to exchange more Paper Persons to track them.
“Besides, Master, it’s not that I’m saying this, but the person behind that leader might not be the mastermind; perhaps the real mastermind is hiding even deeper. We still have to be cautious.”
“Mm.”
After hearing Wei Na’s words, An Jiuyue raised a hand to touch her chin.
“You’re right, we shouldn’t act hastily. What if there’s someone else behind them? Since there’s nothing else to do, let’s take our time.”
Lan Zhiyi mentioned a month’s time, so we can take it slowly. We’ll eventually find the mastermind behind this.
“And I wonder what connection this mastermind has with Huayan Peak? It feels like this person dares to act like this in Huayan Peak, they must have some significant strength at hand.”
Could ordinary people do that?
Even in Wulong Mountain, where it was said that a few High Priest Demon Heart successors were present, no one dared to act like this.
As she spoke, she took out a few Paper Persons and threw them toward the group of black-clad individuals. The first target was the one who seemed to be reprimanding others. Judging by their demeanor, they appeared quite convincing within the group.
It should be someone the so-called leader trusts. Placing a Paper Person on that person should not be wrong.
After placing the Paper Person, she left.
Meanwhile, in the woods, the black-clad individuals were still discussing when the rest of their companions would arrive.
The people from the more distant camp hadn’t been sent over yet; they would surely have to wait until tomorrow, and those companions were also lying in wait on the road.
Although they weren’t of much use, what if they come in handy?
…
Dawn finally broke.
And the leader of the black-clad individuals arrived at what could be considered a bamboo house after daybreak, a bamboo house nestled in the area.
From the outside, the bamboo house seemed inconspicuous, almost blending into the larger bamboo forest, and it was a remote place where no one would normally come.
With wild grass growing all around, it was a place where nothing seemed to exist.
Even though it was a remote place, the man kept looking left and right before entering the bamboo house to make sure no one was following him.
“Why are you here at this time?”
Inside the bamboo house, a young-looking woman was coming out, carrying a basin of water.
If she hadn’t noticed him sharply, that basin of water would have spilled over the man. She was quite surprised, seemingly not expecting him to come at this time.
It was still morning, and he must have traveled overnight from Camp Zhan Yun to get here.
“I have matters. Has the master woken up?” The man asked gently, a trace of fatigue on his face.
To save time, he had expended a lot of Original Soul energy to rush over. Otherwise, how could he have arrived so quickly?
“The master just got up. Did you… fail?” The woman looked at the man and furrowed her brows before speaking.
If the assassination hadn’t failed, he wouldn’t be like this upon arrival. It seems the master overestimated this person; if only she had been sent by the master.
