545: Questioning

Things without value are the easiest to discard.

He still wanted to live a bit longer; after all, he was considered a minor Genius within the Beast Taming Sect.

If he were to fall here, he would be somewhat unwilling.

Wang Yan showed a hint of curiosity, leaned over to Wang Gou, took a look, and asked with some surprise.

“What? Did you find something?”

“I didn’t find any lingering tracking methods or Divine Thought, but there’s a Gu worm hidden in this piece of meat. We absolutely cannot stay here.”

“Let’s move to another place and talk later.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Gou turned around and left directly.

The next moment, he turned and departed as swiftly as a shooting star.

He was not someone without experience.

Although this Gu worm was in the meat, it generally posed no harm.

At most, it served as a positioning device.

In other words, it was a tracker.

It was likely this very item that Elder Lin Changfeng of the Beast Taming Sect relied on to accurately and precisely locate the treasure ship’s whereabouts.

In other words, if this item was on this person, then they were undoubtedly exposed at this moment… Meanwhile, on the other side.

Lin Changfeng, who was currently fighting, suddenly twitched his brow.

A hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

He never expected that in the short time he had been away, Disciple Donglai would leave so quickly.

He had specifically instructed Donglai not to wander around when he left.

Although he had methods to retrieve his Disciple.

Donglai’s current actions were undoubtedly an act of disobedience.

This made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

His expression involuntarily darkened.

His attacks became even more ferocious.

The swarms of insects also launched an astonishing offensive.

This instantly doubled the pressure on the two from the Great Wu Dynasty.

But just as they were fighting fiercely, Lin Changfeng suddenly froze.

His Gu worm had died.

But how could this be possible?

That thing was extremely concealed.

His Disciple had not discovered it in his body for many years.

How could it suddenly die?

Instantly, a possibility emerged in his mind.

Something had happened.

His Disciple had already been taken away by someone else.

His previous departure might not have been due to his disobedience to his orders.

Thinking of this, his expression became extremely grim.

Donglai’s status was already not low.

He knew a lot of intelligence within the Beast Taming Sect.

Among them, the most important was the Centennial Plan.

This year was the final year.

And the reason for attacking the ships and creating trouble for the Great Wu Dynasty was to prepare for the final time.

One should know that there is absolutely no airtight wall in the world; so many years have passed.

Even if the Great Wu Dynasty still didn't know exactly what they were up to, they could definitely guess something.

Once Donglai fell into their hands.

Some secret matters were very likely to be exposed as a result.

Success depends on secrecy; once information is leaked, all plans will ultimately become futile.

For a moment, his heart was in turmoil.

Originally, he could easily suppress the two.

The sudden appearance of this unexpected event made him somewhat distracted.

Although he could still easily suppress the two.

He no longer had the same leisurely composure.

He even deliberately pulled the battlefield further away.

At this moment, he was filled with regret, wondering why he had rashly pointed out the two people.

Wouldn’t it have been better if they had been seen?

It could have been used to cover up certain matters.

Now, it seemed everything was over.

But what followed was a desire for a remedy.

Perhaps things were not as difficult as he imagined.

As long as he captured Donglai back in the shortest possible time and killed all those in the know, there was still a chance.

Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate, feigned an attack, and then swiftly left towards the horizon.

He wanted to retrieve Donglai before he was taken to the Great Wu Dynasty… “It should be safer here, right?”

Inside a cave, Wang Yan spoke softly.

But his gaze towards Wang Gou still carried a hint of surprise.

Just now, he hadn’t even sensed this cave.

Yet Wang Gou had directly led him in.

Could it be that this place was prepared by Wang Gou long ago?

But how could this be possible?

Wang Gou had been with him the entire way, with no time to prepare a cave.

So, the remaining possibility was that Wang Gou’s perception ability was extremely strong.

He had discovered this place a step ahead of him.

He had even directly bypassed the outermost Divine Thought isolation Formation.

But this also seemed somewhat impossible; one should know that the Formation arranged outside could hardly have formed naturally.

Wang Gou nodded lightly.

“This is a cave opened by a paper figure that I shook out of my sleeve on the way here. I didn’t expect it to be useful, but it ended up being used.”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Yan’s eyes widened instantly.

It really was prepared by Wang Gou long ago.

And it was done inadvertently while still on the treasure ship.

Could it be that he had already anticipated that something might happen?

Or was he just trying his luck?

This was perhaps a bit too cautious.

Wang Yan’s heart was filled with doubt.

Wang Gou gave him the impression of someone who had traveled for many years, and not just like his own travels.

Rather, it was a natural crisis intuition honed by constantly being in dangerous situations.

But this was also somewhat outrageous, even a bit impossible.

One should know that when he was in the Lower Realm.

Wang Gou was almost always within the clan territory.

Although his cultivation progress was astonishing, he was indeed a person who rarely ventured out.

But for such a reclusive person to possess such experience and intuitive ability.

It was no longer something that could be achieved by mere meticulousness.

How cautious must he be to be constantly prepared like this?

In other words, he was completely paranoid, and his thinking in this regard was almost maximized.

For a moment, Wang Yan didn't know what to say.

One should know that if this place had not been used in the end.

It would have been a waste of his limited Formation resources.

It could be called extravagant.

But Wang Gou had no intention of explaining anything to him at this moment.

He immediately looked at Donglai, “Tell me about your specific situation, and why you attacked the people on the ship? Don’t expect anyone to come and save you. All your Storage Pouches have been taken by me, there are no tracking methods in your body, and there’s an interception Formation outside. Give up on the idea of sending messages!”

As soon as these words came out, Donglai, who had originally intended to struggle, instantly froze as if petrified.

This, completely anticipated all his anticipations.

There was truly only one path left.
