Chapter 573 The Three Discuss
As Wu Ming recounted his story, Huang Wenyan and Huang Wenyong's expressions grew increasingly serious.
After hearing the whole story, they couldn't help but feel a chill for Wu Ming.
Thank goodness, if Wu Ming hadn't been incredibly lucky, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Afterwards, the three of them discussed it carefully for a while.
Wu Ming noticed the tired look on Huang Wenyong's face and knew that he had not fully recovered from his serious injuries and needed to rest.
Therefore, Wu Ming decided to say goodbye to Huang Wenyong and tell him to take good care of his health.
After leaving Huang Wenyong's residence, Wu Ming went straight to his tent.
When Wu Ming rushed back to his residence, he found that Pan Ning had already ended his meditation and was waiting for him to return.
Upon seeing Wu Ming return, Pan Ning immediately asked, "Junior Brother, you're finally back! Did you manage to find out anything?"
Faced with Pan Ning's urgent questioning, Wu Ming did not hide anything, but revealed a hint of worry before sighing softly: "Senior brother, the Blood Fiend Sect is probably going to make a big move this time, and the situation is quite complicated and troublesome!"
Upon hearing this, Pan Ning felt a pang of anxiety, but he was mostly puzzled.
He had guessed that the sect had a backup plan for this mission, so seeing Wu Ming still looking so worried puzzled him.
Just as he was about to press for further information, Wu Ming gently waved his hand, signaling him to calm down.
Then, Wu Ming said slowly: Senior brother, please don't be anxious. Once Senior Brother Chu arrives here, I will explain everything to you in detail.
It turned out that on the way back, Wu Ming had already sent a message to Chu Nan, asking him to come to his tent to discuss the matter together.
Sure enough, Chu Nan arrived as promised not long after.
After exchanging pleasantries, Wu Ming, Pan Ning, and Chu Nan sat down together to formally discuss the current situation.
Chu Nan first inquired about Pan Ning's recovery from his injuries, and after explaining his own situation, Pan Ning also inquired about Chu Nan's injuries.
After the two sides finished their brief greetings, Wu Ming got down to business.
"Senior Brother Chu, Senior Brother Pan, I just paid my respects to Elder Huang Mingxuan of the Huang Clan. Here are three bottles of healing pills, which he gave us as a token of his appreciation. Please accept them with gratitude!"
As Wu Ming spoke, he took out three exquisite jade bottles from his pocket and handed them to Chu Nan and Pan Ning.
Chu Nan and Pan Ning exchanged a glance, neither of them refusing, and directly took the pills from each other's hands.
After all, although this gift is not extremely precious, it contains the good intentions of the person who gave it, and it would seem rather heartless to refuse it.
After the two put away the pills, Wu Ming was silent for a moment before speaking again: "During my visit to Huang Mingxuan, I unexpectedly learned some important news."
It turns out that while we were working together to annihilate that mysterious man in black who was at the Pseudo-Core Formation level last night, the Huang clan's camp was also subjected to a sudden and fierce attack.
It is said that several members of the Huang clan were imprisoned at the time, and even the Third Elder, Huang Wenyong, was seriously injured, while the Venerable Elder, Xiong Lin, tragically died.
Before Wu Ming could finish speaking, Chu Nan and Pan Ning already showed expressions of astonishment.
They never expected that so many things would happen at the same time last night.
Clearly, the strength that the Blood Fiend Sect has shown this time is far greater than everyone originally estimated!
"I remember that Elder Xiong Lin is a late Foundation Establishment cultivator! Although his strength may not be as great as ours, surely he can't even guarantee his own safety?"
Pan Ning spoke with a puzzled expression.
"It's not just Xiong Lin who's at the late Foundation Establishment stage; Huang Wenyong, the third elder of the Huang family, is also at the late Foundation Establishment stage!"
You should all understand what this means by now. The attackers' true strength has definitely reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to severely injure one person and cause the other to die even when surrounded by two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators!
Chu Nan said firmly and without room for doubt.
"Senior Brother Chu is absolutely right! The enemy who launched this attack was indeed a cultivator at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage."
It's important to understand that Elders Huang Wenyong and Xiong Lin were fighting together, yet even so, they couldn't harm the attacker at all, and he easily escaped.
Wu Ming then chimed in with his explanation.
Upon hearing this, Pan Ning couldn't help but frown and asked again, "So, can we now definitively determine that the attacker's true identity is from the Blood Fiend Sect?"
"Although the other party is well hidden, based on my familiarity with the Blood Fiend Sect, I can say with certainty that the mysterious person is undoubtedly an elder of the Blood Fiend Sect."
Furthermore, after hearing Huang Wenyong's description, I discovered some important clues. He mentioned that the defensive artifact used by the other party was actually a mirror!
And this mirror just so happens to be the same one that the Blood Fiend Sect elder who attacked me before possessed!
Wu Ming spoke firmly, explaining his thoughts one by one.
Chu Nan and Pan Ning had already learned that Wu Ming had been attacked on his way back to the sect, so they had no doubt about his deductions.
After a moment of contemplation, Pan Ning slowly spoke: "Judging from this situation, the Blood Fiend Sect has obviously put in a lot of effort this time, actually sending two elders to carry out the mission."
Last night they must have split into two groups to carry out their operation, right? Otherwise, why would they have launched a surprise attack on both the Huang family and the Biluo Sword Sect on our side at the same time?
We just happened to stumble upon one of those roads.
It must be admitted that the Blood Fiend Sect's actions likely have some extraordinary intentions behind them!
“Yes, Senior Brother Pan is absolutely right,” Wu Ming nodded in agreement.
"I wonder if the Huang family has already informed other forces about this matter?"
Chu Nan's eyes were sharp and penetrating, as if he could see through everything. He saw through the crux of the problem at a glance.
Wu Ming, who was standing to the side, nodded and replied, "After my prompting today, they have already passed the message on to other relevant forces so that everyone can be more vigilant and strengthen their defenses."
Hearing this, Chu Nan breathed a slight sigh of relief, but his face was still shrouded in gloom.
He frowned and analyzed thoughtfully, "That's very good."
However, relying solely on these forces would likely be insufficient to withstand the overwhelming onslaught of the Blood Fiend Sect. We must find a way to quickly restore our strength, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
At this point, Chu Nan's expression grew increasingly grave, as if he foresaw the impending chaos.
