“We still have work to do. Let’s attend to that first.” Adams, startled, swiftly made his escape.

Gu Chaoyan and the sorcerer trailed behind him.

The woman made no attempt to pursue him, nor did she dispatch anyone to intercept.

Adams breathed a sigh of relief.

The woman refrained from chasing after him simply because she wasn’t in a rush. As long as he remained in the Huang Clan, she could claim him whenever she pleased.

“What kind of person is she? Why is she so unrestrained?” Adams lamented.

“The leader of the Huang Clan has only one daughter. I believe a woman like her in the Huang Clan is indeed the leader’s sole daughter,” the sorcerer explained.

Sorcerers possessed general knowledge about the various races in this world, both major and minor.

The Huang Clan had progressed rapidly, with many details escaping the sorcerers’ records. Nonetheless, some key aspects were known.

For instance, the Huang Clan’s Tribe Chief had only one daughter.

After all, it directly impacted who would succeed as the next Tribe Chief.

In the present circ.u.mstances, this woman was poised to a.s.sume the role of Tribe Chief a century later.

“Then we shouldn’t have fled just now. That woman has taken a liking to you, Adams. If you stay by her side, you might hear everything. She might even be willing to let us go for your sake,” Gu Chaoyan quipped.

Adams shot her an annoyed look.

This woman harbored a strong sense of vengeance, still retaliating for their past encounters.

“I wouldn’t dare. Have you seen the stares from the dozen or so men around that woman? I’m afraid I’d be nothing but bones by now,” Adams retorted indignantly.

Gu Chaoyan burst into laughter.

She simply laughed.

Adams paid her no mind.

The sorcerer let out a sigh.

This woman indeed had a knack for conjuring up any scenario.

“Let’s keep moving forward and uncover the reason behind the Huang Clan’s actions as quickly as possible. That woman taking a liking to Adams is not a favorable development,” the sorcerer cautioned.

If her interest was merely a jest, it would be fine if she forgot about it after today.

However, if she remembered and returned later, it could be troublesome if today’s events were revealed.

The trio fell into silence.

They continued to navigate through the Huang Clan.

Cloaked in the attire of the Huang Clan, they evaded suspicion.

They roamed through the Huang Clan undetected.

After all…

The Huang clansmen would never have fathomed that the seemingly impoverished clansmen at the mountain’s base were astute.

“This way,” the sorcerer indicated a direction.

As a sorcerer, he possessed an inherent ability to sense certain things in this world, including places shrouded in black fog.

Gu Chaoyan and Adams trailed behind him.

“Be cautious,” the sorcerer advised.

“What is this place? Why is it so cold?” Gu Chaoyan inquired.

“There’s something amiss here.” As soon as the sorcerer spoke, the sound of someone approaching emerged from behind.

Gu Chaoyan swiftly pulled Adams up, and the two of them landed gracefully on the branches above.

Subsequently, the sorcerer also concealed himself.

“Has someone been here?”

“Camilla must have pa.s.sed through.”

The black-robed man ceased his inquiries only then.

This location remained concealed.

Few were privy to its existence.

It operated as a clandestine secret; no one was permitted knowledge of it. Disclosure could spell trouble.

“Didn’t they mention that sorcerers would arrive? I’ve yet to see any.”

“No, sorcerers are just a legend. It’s more reliable to trust in oneself than to believe in sorcerers.”
