The old man had forwarded his suggestion upon deliberation when he saw that the sky had darkened.
They left the place afterward, leaving the corpses to be scavenged by prowling monster beasts.
At the same moment, Angus, Ella, and several young people were sitting on boulders located at a junction outside the Nine Armies' base.
"Oh, they've started fighting, alright. Members of the Bloodshed Clan sent people over early in the morning, dispatched into the forest to assassinate Helena and the others." Angus thought of Helena's beautiful appearance and was worried.
Skye, who was by their side, smiled coldly and remarked, "You guys are still talking about Helena. Haha! Helena is probably a goner now, and it's probably a horrible death, too. Her body might’ve been eaten by monster beasts already!"
Angus clenched his fists in anger at Skye's words and shot her a livid glare."
Ella thought about it and said, “Don't worry. The Nine Armies would only allow them to attack this place for around three days, and they won't pretend that they know nothing later on. Otherwise, the people from the Pavilion Billow Cloud would be unhappy when they arrive and see that the Nine Armies did nothing about the matter."
Skye also nodded and said, "That's right. We're the nearest ones to this forest, and we normally seek precious items in this forest. If we allow the people from the Bloodshed Clan to stay inside for a long time, the people from the pavilions would be displeased for sure—those disciples might sneakily collect the precious items in the forest, too!"
“This won't work; we can't stay here like sitting ducks. How about this: Let’s gather some people and secretly enter the forest to give them a helping hand,” suggested Angus boldly as he grew increasingly frightened the more he thought of what was happening.
