This place was still quite a distance away from that area, but Elder Wan Zheng still sensitively detected a hint of dangerous aura.
He furrowed his brows tightly and walked forward. But the moment he took half a step out, he suddenly recalled that Chu Liuyue was still producing her pill beside him.

Chu Liuyue also noticed that something was wrong with him as she averted her gaze and glanced at him.
His face—which was previously filled with excitement—had hints of nervousness and worry now.
