I Have A Martial Arts Panel - Chapter 267

Xu Ning was not the only one who felt strange. The others were also puzzled.

“There was no trace left behind when they disappeared, but we found their belongings as soon as we began searching. Isn’t this too much of a coincidence?”

Zhang He spoke bluntly.

After Zhang He finished speaking, the others all fell silent.

“Senior Dong, what do you think?”

Duan Chaofeng asked Dong Ji.

“We have to take a look.”

Dong Ji said, “Whether this is suspicious or not, we have to see it with our own eyes.”

“Who’s going?”

Duan Chaofeng asked again. “I’ll go.”

Zhang He took the initiative to volunteer. “Except for Master Dong, I am the strongest here.”

In Zhang He’s heart, Duan Chaofeng’s safety was the top priority, and Dong Ji had to take care of his safety.

Duan Chaofeng pondered for a moment. “Senior Dong, go.”

“Zhang He, you are not in the high level of the dao realm. If you encounter any trouble, it will be difficult to resolve.”

Duan Chaofeng was also worried about Zhang He’s safety. “If our previous guess is that the missing people were attacked by the Night Beast, then the Night Beast might be hiding near their belongings.”

“You are definitely not its opponent.”

Zhang He was Duan Chaofeng’s most important confidant. No one else could replace him.

“But if Senior Dong went, your safety…”

Zhang He felt that there was a hidden danger on this island.

“It’s fine.”

Duan Chaofeng said, “I will go with Senior Dong. With Senior Dong by my side, there is no need to worry about my safety.”

“You will go personally?” Zhang He was about to stop him. Dong Ji was also a little cautious. “Don’t worry too much, I also want to personally participate in the capture of the Night Beast.”

Duan Chaofeng looked at Dong Ji. “Senior Dong, what do you think?”

“Sure.”

Dong Ji finally nodded. “If you encounter any danger, I can put Your Highness into my spatial treasure. In times of danger, I can just take you and leave.”

Because Duan Chaofeng and Dong Ji agreed on this matter, the other trusted subordinates had to follow.

The prince was going to the frontlines, so they couldn’t be resting in the backlines.

“Let’s go.”

Duan Chaofeng said.

“Yes!”

Everyone, including Xu Ning, responded.

“Your Highness, here!”

The group was led by the guards to a place full of weeds.

‘What a bleak feeling…’

Xu Ning looked over and saw a half-meter tall patch of weeds swaying in the wind.

Although there were not a lot of demon beasts on this island, their levels were relatively high, and the vitality of the plants was extremely vigorous.

Thus, it was rare to see such a lifeless patch of land.

“This is the blade of our mansion guards.” The guard who discovered the missing items pointed them out to them. “Moreover, there are also the pill bottles that the Master Tamers lost.”

Sure enough, there were items scattered nearby.

“These things don’t seem to have been lost unintentionally.” Zhang He said, “It seems like they were deliberately thrown here.”

“That’s right.”

Xu Ning agreed.

“Be careful.”

Dong Ji reminded, “I feel that these lost items are bait to lure us here.”

Dong Ji’s words made everyone feel the same.

Just when he was about to search for other clues.

On the other side of the wilderness, a group of people also rushed over.

Xu Ning saw Xue Jinghua at the forefront of the group. “Hmm?”

Duan Chaofeng looked into the distance and saw Mo Lan in the crowd. “Mo Lan is here too…”

Duan Chaofeng raised his eyebrows. “Could they be speculating the same thing as us, suspecting that the Night Beast has appeared, so they sent their elites to capture it?”

“Your Highness, when we were searching for traces of the missing people, we also met with Princess Mo Lan’s people here. They were also searching for their missing people.”

The guard who went on the search just now said to Duan Chaofeng.

“Is that so…”

Duan Chaofeng nodded.

His guess was correct.

Mo Lan also believed that the missing people were either attacked or abducted by the Night Beast.

“Duan Chaofeng!”

On the other side, Mo Lan also noticed the people from the Harmony King Mansion.

Duan Chaofeng didn’t plan to pay attention to Mo Lan, but Mo Lan took the initiative to walk over.

‘So this is Princess Mo Lan…’

Xu Ning looked at the woman in a male outfit and thought to himself, ‘Just like Duan Chaofeng, she has the temperament of a superior. She is obviously a member of the royal family.’

“I haven’t seen you in years, but you are still like this.”

Mo Lan’s words sounded like small talk, but her tone was a little aggressive.

“There is no need to beat around the bush. We are all here for the Night Beast.”

Duan Chaofeng had no intention of making small talk. He was indifferent to Mo Lan’s attitude.

Mo Lan smiled lightly, not caring much. “Duan Chaofeng, according to our inference, the Night Beast might be nearby.” Mo Lan seemed to have a deeper understanding of the Night Beast. “Maybe when we first stepped onto this island, the Night Beast had already targeted us.”

“Moreover, the Night Beast is extremely intelligent, and it is extremely alert and vengeful. The Night Beast must have noticed our movements over the past two days. It must have sensed our malice, causing it to launch a sneak attack on us.”

“Why are you telling me this? Do you expect us to form an alliance?”

Duan Chaofeng was not polite to Mo Lan at all.

“I don’t dare to suggest forming an alliance. I just feel that as members of the royal family, there is no need to fight each other. I don’t want you to encounter danger here.”

Mo Lan’s words were quite tame.

However, Duan Chaofeng sneered and ignored her.

“People of the Harmony King Mansion, search for traces of the Night Beast nearby.”

Duan Chaofeng turned around and ordered the others.

“Yes.”

The people from the Harmony King Mansion stopped gathering and began to divide their work.

“The people from the Promise King Mansion, let’s begin as well.”

Mo Lan shook her head when she saw Duan Chaofeng’s indifference and said to the people around her.

Just like that, the two sides watched each other cautiously while searching separately.

On a mountain in the distance.

Several figures were secretly watching them.

“Master Chu He, your aura concealment secret treasure is indeed powerful.”

Lie Ying was the one who spoke.

These people were the gray-robed people who had arrived at the island at the same time as both the factions.

Not long after they arrived at this archipelago, they also discovered the forces of the Harmony King Mansion and Mo Lan.

They also learned that both sides had the same goal as them to find the Night Beast.

However, even though they knew the identity of their competitors, these gray-robed people were not afraid at all.

This was because their strength was not weak. The leader, who was called Master Chu He, was also a high level dao realm master.

The others, including the Master Tamer Lie Ying, were all either dao realm sixth stage or fifth stage masters. But even with this kind of strength, they were still very cautious when searching for the Night Beast.

Every time they moved, Chu He would personally lead them, and while doing so, he also used a top-notch aura concealment secret treasure to hide their auras.

This made Duan Chaofeng’s camp and Princess Mo Lan’s camp unaware that there was another powerful and patient group of opponents near them.

“Lie Ying, are you sure that the Night Beast is going to appear?”

Chu He took the initiative to ask Lie Ying next to him. “Probably.” Lie Ying responded, “The disappearance of their people is most likely caused by the Night Beast. The Night Beast is extremely vengeful, and it does not show mercy to those who can threaten it.”

Chu He nodded. He trusted the words of Lie Ying, who was a Master Tamer.

“There is just one thing I don’t understand.”

Lie Ying said, “These two groups of people were obviously lured here. The Night Beast is only in the mid level of the dao realm. Even if it wants to eliminate all the enemies that pose a threat to it, it is impossible.”

“Let’s wait and see.”

Chu He said, “Once the Night Beast is about to appear, then the two sides will definitely compete for it. At that time, we will take advantage of the chaos and snatch it.” “Mmm…”

Lie Ying nodded.

At this moment, the people from both Duan Chaofeng’s faction and Mo Lan’s faction were still wandering around the wilderness.

Suddenly.

A strange voice echoed in everyone’s ears.

The voice was soft, but it had a bewitching power, making people’s emotions a little gloomy. ‘What’s happening?’

Xu Ning suddenly felt a sense of danger.

Whoosh!

A black light suddenly appeared and spread out with a radius of a thousand meters in the wilderness.

This black light enveloped everyone on Duan Chaofeng’s side and Mo Lan’s side.

‘Not good!’

Dong Ji’s expression changed.

“Your Highness, go!” Dong Ji ignored the others and grabbed Duan Chaofeng’s shoulder, wanting to take him out of the black light.

But when he reached the edge of the black light, a black semi-transparent light curtain suddenly appeared, then it curved upwards, forming a dome at the top, quickly sealing the entire space.

“Ha!”

Fist light suddenly appeared in Dong Ji’s hand as he punched the black light curtain, but it was useless.

A ripple appeared on the black light curtain, but no cracks appeared.

“We are trapped!” Xu Ning also saw how Dong Ji couldn’t break the black light curtain.

If even Dong Ji couldn’t escape, then he definitely couldn’t either.

“Princess, we are trapped!” On the other side, Xue Jinghua was also shocked. She protected Mo Lan by her side.

“Everyone come here!”

Dong Ji gathered the people from the Harmony King Mansion and built up their forces. Xu Ning also followed them. “Look!”

Suddenly, someone pointed to the air.

A flying black shadow gradually descended from the area outside of the black light and penetrated through the black light barrier.

It was a slender monster that was more than ten meters long and had more than a dozen black insect-like feet.

Its head had a triangular shape with a spike on it.

Its dim blue eyes revealed a cold gaze.

Black air currents circled around its body.

“The Night Beast!”

At this instant, everyone’s hearts trembled.
