“We can’t leave like this,” said Nash seriously. All of them turned to look at him with confusion in their eyes.

Nash coughed and continued to explain, “What I meant was, we need to make sure the surrounding area is clear before leaving. Didn’t you all say that they would do anything to kill you all to make sure you won’t be able to report on them? Although we’re at the outskirts of the mountain, there’s no guarantee they might not view this place as a key observation zone.”

What Nash said was logical. They exchanged glances with each other and all of their expressions were solemn. They could not drag on any longer but they could not just leave like that either.

Jackie knitted his brows and made a decision. “How about this? I’ll go scout the surrounding area to plot out a path of escape and we’ll leave within two hours.” Without waiting for their replies, he turned to leave the cave but was stopped by Dwight.

“I will go instead. I have cultivated a special technique and have a keen sense of perception. If there are enemies around, I’ll find out immediately and will be able to retreat safely. After all, your cultivation is only in the initial stage of the innate level. Besides, I’m all better now,” he said as he stood up. He patted away the grass from his bottom.

Jackie nodded. There was no need to fight about this since he had a special technique to scout the surroundings.

Jed nodded at Dwight too. “Leave Brother Albion to me. Please be careful out there and come back as soon as you can.”

Dwight nodded and left the cave while the four of them waited patiently in the cave. Jackie meditated to rest his body while Nash assisted Jed in taking care of Albion.

The seconds ticked by and Nash became more and more worried. After ten minutes, he could not hold it in any longer and said, “He should be back by now. Do you think he ran into some trouble out there?”

Jed was worried too but compared to Nash, he had more understanding of Dwight’s capabilities. He sighed faintly and in a grave tone said, “Under normal circumstances, Brother Dwight can escape extremely fast. He’s smarter than most of us and would be able to detect anything out of the ordinary very quickly so there’s no chance for us to escape if he really ran into any troubles now.”

Another ten minutes passed and even Jed’s face was darkening by the seconds. He stood up and stared worriedly at the entrance of the cave. Jackie knew exactly how he was feeling but they could not do anything apart from waiting.

Finally, after an hour, they heard noises coming from the outside. Jackie’s eyes narrowed, and he instinctively looked at the small defense array in his hand. For the defense array to be effective, two defense arrays must be used together. One defense array board was placed outside and the other would b e kept by the user’s side.

The defense array board in his hand not only served as an alarm but could also transmit the scene outside. A figure swiftly traversed the location with the array’s monitor area. Even though he could not see the person’s features, he was relieved to recognize the Thousand Leaves Pavilion’s uniform.

Jed quickly went to the entrance to welcome Dwight back. He looked more helter-skelter than before and was covered in leaves and grass. His hair was dirty and he was so pale that he gave off a chilling aura.

Jed grabbed Dwight’s shoulder and anxiously asked, ” What happened? Did you run into any danger? Have you plotted out our escape path?”

These series of questions made Dwight’s face even more frightening to look at. His pupils were slightly shaking and the corners of his lips were twitching as If trying to decide how to answer him. All the others started to panic when they saw him acting like this. Jackie walked over too and stared at him with furrowed brows.

Dwight signed softly and waved his hand. “Let’s go inside first and I’ll tell you all about it.”
