"Who is there?"
The cultivator known as Big Brother immediately noticed the disturbance and turned around to look in the direction of Bai Li Hong Zhuang and White Lion.
"Who is behind us?"
The man's face instantly tensed up. The news of the Blood Essence Devil Fruit was a secret, and they had thought that there would be no one else here. So they didn't have any concerns.
However, the previous disturbance didn't belong to them or the sounds made by the demonic beasts.
"Big Brother, are you too nervous? I didn't hear any sound." The waiter spoke up.
The man shook his head and slowly walked towards the location where Bai Li Hong Zhuang and White Lion were.
He had always been sensitive to sounds, and nothing escaped his ears. That sound just now was definitely out of the ordinary. There was someone behind them!
Bai Li Hong Zhuang was surprised to see that this person was so perceptive. The opponent's strength was unknown, and fighting them would not benefit them in any way.
Immediately, Bai Li Hong Zhuang and White Lion entered the Chaotic Ring, completely hiding their figures.
In the next second after Bai Li Hong Zhuang and White Lion entered the Chaotic Ring, the man had already swiftly appeared at the spot where Bai Li Hong Zhuang was previously.
The other two men quickly arrived behind the man and asked in confusion, "Big Brother, there's no one here."
The leader shook his head, his expression determined and solemn. "No, there was definitely someone here before, and there are faint remnants of their aura. However, it was only for a short time. The other party disappeared so quickly. It seems to be a master."
Seeing Peng Hongyuan's serious attitude, the faces of the waiter and Ah San became somewhat ugly.
If the other party was really a master, then they might have been targeted. That was not good news.
"Big Brother, I don't think things are as serious as you think. If that person is truly a master, they would have already taken action against us. How could they possibly flee? Most likely, they are cultivators whose strength is inferior to ours, which is why they acted that way."
Ah San's eyes flickered with wisdom. He was always the strategist in the group.
Listening to Ah San's words, the leader and the waiter exchanged glances. It made sense.
If it were really a master, they would have already captured them and taken the map away.
"That may be so, but we still need to be careful. Once this news spreads, it won't benefit us."
The leader's eyes darkened. "In my opinion, we should wait a few days before taking action. Let's observe the situation for the next few days."
"Okay."
It was only after the three of them left the tunnel that Bai Li Hong Zhuang and White Lion came out of the Chaotic Ring.
"I didn't expect that Big Brother's perception would be so keen. I was already very careful, yet I was still discovered."
Bai Li Hong Zhuang sighed. Fortunately, when the other party approached, she saw his appearance. She had been closely observing these few people recently.
Regardless, she was determined to obtain the Blood Essence Devil Fruit.
"Master, what should we do now?" White Lion asked.
"These people won't take any action in the next few days. Let's go back for now and keep an eye on where they stay, which inn they choose, or where they settle down."
Bai Li Hong Zhuang immediately made a decision. The area near the Blood Abyss was too vast, and it would be extremely difficult to find the Blood Essence Devil Fruit without following these people.
