The hidden wind mountain was covered with darkness, even a person’s fingers could not be seen. But the tree branches kept making squeaking sounds. As if a group of fairies was dancing from the distance, which could make people dared not to get close.

Because of this noise, the calmness in the forest was destroyed. The birds violently flew away. The sound of their fluttering wings made the atmosphere in the forest more tense. And it seems the surrounding air became chilly.

In the Hidden Wind Mountain, there are two groups of people that were stationed. The first one was the emperor’s people and the other one was Xiao Tianyao. The emperor’s people don’t know the existence of the other party, but Xiao Tianyao’s people clearly know where the other party is.

When the strange movements in the forest came, the Emperor’s people immediately put a guard. Their burning torches were extinguished in an instant. The smell of fire was replaced by grassy smell.

Xiao Tianyao’s people were also alert, but when they saw a bloody red coat in the mid-air, they knew immediately who it is.

Just a small movement, but like a ghost, it inevitably alerted the birds in the forest. But at this moment, it didn’t make the people doubt anything.

The two sides joined forces when Xiao Tianyao’s people saw Demon Lord’s scary mask. They were shocked at first, but then they instinctively kneel down: “Daren”

“Mmm, what’s the situation?” Demon Lord opened his mouth, his voice was as cold as the night breeze.

“There are no people left, the emperor’s people have been looking around for days, but there’s still no result.” When the hired people spoke, they kept their head low. They were not afraid of him, but rather shy.

“Where is the nearby water source?” Demon Lord nodded his head lightly and swept his eyes to the person. The hired person pointed his finger somewhere. His action seemed a bit awkward, but in fact, it was in the right direction.

The hired person doesn’t know what Demon Lord exactly mean. So, he casually said: “30 miles away from the southeast, there is a big pond in there. The water is clear and drinkable.”

“Let’s go.” Demon Lord turned around and walked towards the southeast side. The hired person trotted in front of Demon Lord. He diligently cleared the way for him. The other people walked away freely, but they almost stumbled when they followed. They were afraid to get close to the branches.

A group of people rushed to the southeast in an extremely fast manner. Although their movements were not big, they still caught the attention of the other party. The emperor’s people found a group of people lining up behind Demon Lord. The emperor’s people didn’t dare to act rashly, but he also doesn’t want to stay idle.

“Go, let’s keep up and see… …” The Emperor’s people were worried that the other party might be sent to save the southern people.

“General, do you want to ask for reinforcements?” The deputy commander whispered.

If they were sent by the south, and they fight, they will have no chance to win.

The person in charge of the matter hesitated for a moment but then nodded his head: “Notify the reinforcements to come. No matter who they are, it is a fact that they appear this time suspiciously.” The latter sentence was obviously to comfort themselves.

The signal was sent out, Demon Lord naturally has seen it. Someone from behind asked Demon Lord if he wants to stop the emperor’s people movement. However, Demon Lord refused: “No.” They have the same purpose. After finding the southern people the two sides might work with each other.

As long as he killed Nannuo Li, he doesn’t mind giving away the credits to the emperor’s people.

Thirty miles away were not short, even if Demon Lord’s people were not ordinary men, but climbing up the mountain affect their speed. When they rush toward the deep pond, half an hour had already passed.

Looking at the surroundings, Demon Lord didn’t find any abnormalities. He said to the person behind him: “Go down the pond!”
