Chapter 1326: Chapter 727: True Spirit Chapter 1326: Chapter 727: True Spirit He slowly said, “Our mission is related to the future of our entire Clan, we cannot give up just because of some momentary danger. Moreover, only by venturing deep into the heartland of the Demon Race can we find that legendary secret passage to safely escape this perilous place.”
At this point, he paused and his gaze swept over the faces of each of his companions. “But you are right, we must be more careful and cautious. From now on, we need to remain vigilant at all times and avoid direct confrontations with the Demon Race as much as possible. At the same time, we must also hasten our steps, striving to complete our mission and return home at the earliest.”
Hearing this, his companions nodded in agreement. They knew this was a road full of the unknown and dangers, but as long as they were united, nothing could stop their progress.
The night grew deeper, and the wind outside the post station seemed to become fiercer. Elder Talon Skyler and his companions sat around the fire, discussing their upcoming travel plans in low voices. The firelight lit up their faces, revealing expressions of determination and resolve. They knew, no matter how difficult the road ahead, they must bravely face it. Because this was their mission and their duty.
In that moment, Elder Talon Skyler suddenly had a revelation as if a beam of Spirit Light, like lightning tearing through the night sky, instantly illuminated his confused thoughts. He quickly waved his hand in a hurried and forceful motion, as if to dispel some invisible gloom. Seeing this, his companions set down their cups with a mix of confusion and vigilance, slowly drawing closer to him.
“We were originally planning to have a drink here to relax before continuing on our way back to Constantia Prefecture,” Elder Talon Skyler said in a rushed and urgent whisper, his voice low and hoarse as if each word carried a heavy burden, “Who would have thought we'd be so unlucky to be stumbled upon by these Demon Soldiers! What exactly is going on here? Have our movements already been exposed?”
His words carried a hint of helplessness and anxiety, a restless light flickering in his eyes. A subtle and concealed aura emanated from his body, starkly different from the robust and ostentatious Demonic Qi of the surrounding Demon Soldiers, clearly indicating he was not of pure Demon Race lineage. This also made him exceedingly cautious when facing these Demon Soldiers, for fear that a single careless move could reveal a flaw.
His companions heard this and frowned, their faces filled with confusion and unease. One of the burly companions couldn't help but speak, “Elder, we're puzzled by your words. We have been extremely careful all along, for fear of alerting the Demon Race. How could our movements be exposed so easily? Moreover, this post station is remote, but it's not a place where Demon Soldiers can just randomly barge in.”
Another companion chimed in, “Yes, Elder. Are we being overly sensitive? Perhaps these Demon Soldiers merely happened to pass by coincidentally and have nothing to do with us.”
Hearing this, Elder Talon Skyler's brows tightly knitted. He was well aware of his companions' doubts and dissatisfaction, but the worry in his heart did not dissipate. He took a deep breath, striving to calm himself, then slowly said, “Your points are valid, but we cannot let our guard down. The demons are cunning and deceptive, we must be wary. And haven't you noticed? The timing of these Demon Soldiers' appearance is too coincidental, as if they were targeting us.”
His words plunged his companions into deep thought as they began to recall various details from before, trying to find any clues. The atmosphere inside the post station immediately became heavy, seriousness and tension etching each person's face.
“Elder, what should we do now?” asked a young companion, his voice quivering slightly, clearly frightened by this sudden turn of events.
Elder Talon Skyler pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly, “The most important thing now is to remain calm and not panic. We need to leave this place as soon as possible to avoid a direct confrontation with the Demon Soldiers. At the same time, we must also heighten our vigilance and constantly be aware of our surroundings to ensure our movements are not detected.”
His words were firm and powerful, as if infusing an invisible strength into his companions. They nodded in agreement, then began to quickly pack their gear, ready to leave this perilous place.
As they departed the post station, Elder Talon Skyler maintained a high level of vigilance. His eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, constantly monitoring the surroundings. His companions followed closely behind him, their steps firm and forceful, as if declaring their resolve and courage to the world.
The night deepened, and the stars in the sky twinkled with faint light. Elder Talon Skyler and his companions embarked on their journey to Constantia Prefecture, their hearts filled with uncertainty and challenges. But they knew that as long as they remained united and boldly moved forward, nothing could stop their progress.
“Just like these people to try and get close to us, it's ludicrous!” muttered a companion in a low voice, though trying to suppress it, his disdain and mockery still seeped through. The contempt in his eyes flickered, and a cold smirk curled his lips, clearly extremely displeased with the arrogant attitude of the Demon Soldiers in front of them. However, at this critical moment, they dared not openly reveal their real thoughts, and they could only remain secretly vigilant, prepared to handle any unforeseen situations that might arise.
