Chapter 1427: 776_2 Chapter 1427: 776_2 Bart Cloud and Logan stood back to back, warily watching the enemies around them. The atmosphere in the woods instantly turned tense, as a fierce battle seemed inevitable…

No sooner had Logan spoken than Bart Cloud furrowed his brow, a complex expression flashing in his eyes. He looked up at the winding mountain path ahead, then at Logan’s relaxed demeanor, and couldn’t help but sigh: “You make it sound so easy, but this time the situation is different from before. The Heavenly Saint Daoist and the Beast King are formidable, but they are overt enemies, and we can find ways to deal with them. But this time… who knows what traps those sects have secretly set up?”

Logan chuckled and patted Bart Cloud’s shoulder: “You’re just too cautious. Haven’t we seen all kinds of troubles on our journey? Besides, that Lowen Shingo is no easy mark. If he’s really been caught, he’ll definitely find a way to send out a message. But all we’ve heard till now is rumors, not a single solid piece of information. Maybe they’re just smoke bombs he released intentionally.”

Shingo Butcher couldn’t help but interject: “What are you two muttering about? If Lowen has really been caught, we need to hurry and save him! If he hasn’t been caught, then we have even more reason to check it out, in case he thinks something has happened to you two and causes an even bigger mess!”

Bart Cloud shook his head helplessly: “Why are you always so impulsive? This trip could lead us into an ambush by the entire sect, a slight misstep could be catastrophic. Don’t you worry at all?”

Shingo Butcher snorted and waved his cleaver: “Worry? I, Shingo Butcher, have roamed the Worldly Society for many years, when have I ever been afraid? Besides, that kid Lowen is my nephew, I can’t just watch him get in trouble without doing anything, can I?”

Upon hearing this, Logan couldn’t help but burst into laughter: “Alright, alright, you two stop arguing. We’re already on our way, and talking about it won’t change anything. We might as well think about how to handle what’s coming.”

Bart Cloud nodded and spoke in a low voice: “You’re right. But we still need to be cautious. Those sect people are not easy to deal with. If they have really set up a Heaven and Earth Net, then we’re in big trouble.”

Logan waved his hand dismissively, his face relaxed: “What’s there to be afraid of? It’s not our first time dealing with them. Plus, we still have some cards up our sleeve that we haven’t shown yet. When it comes down to a fight, it’s not certain who will lose and who will win.”

Shingo Butcher, hearing this, couldn’t help but burst into loud laughter: “Well said! That’s the spirit! The three of us together, should we fear those sects?”

As they talked, the trio continued to move forward. The mountain path grew steeper, and the surrounding scenery became increasingly desolate. In the distance, the outline of the mountain range loomed through the mist, like a slumbering Giant Beast waiting for their arrival.

After walking for a moment, Bart Cloud suddenly stopped in his tracks, pointing ahead: “Look there, a cave. Should we go check it out?”

Logan followed his pointing finger and saw a black hole on the mountain side, surrounded by overgrown weeds, appearing very Concealed.

“This place seems quite suitable for hiding.” Logan said softly, “Let’s go inside and take a look, we might find some clues.”

Shingo Butcher nodded and strode forward: “Let’s go and see!”

The three cautiously entered the cave, where the light was dim and the air was filled with a dampness. Logan took a torch out of his bag, lit it, and held it up, immediately illuminating the cave walls around them.

“It looks like someone has been here.” Bart Cloud whispered, pointing at some footprints on the ground.

Logan crouched down to inspect the footprints closely, his brow furrowing slightly: “These footprints are fresh, they must have been made recently. It looks like our guess was correct; there has indeed been activity here.”

Shingo Butcher, hearing this, couldn’t contain his excitement: “What are we waiting for? Let’s quickly follow them and take a look!”

But Logan shook his head: “Don’t rush, we need to figure out who they are first. If they are indeed people from the sect, we can’t alert them.”

Bart Cloud nodded in agreement, speaking softly: “You’re right. Let’s rest here for now and move when it gets dark.”

Although Shingo Butcher was somewhat impatient, he also knew this wasn’t the time for impulsivity, so he reluctantly nodded: “Fine, let’s do it your way.”

The three of them found a concealed corner to sit down, and Logan took out some dry food from his bag to share with everyone. The cave was so quiet that only the crackling of the torch could be heard, giving the atmosphere a somewhat oppressive feel.

After a while, Bart Cloud suddenly said in a low voice, “Do you think that kid Lowen Shingo already knows we’re coming?”

Logan smiled and replied softly, “That kid is pretty sharp, he might have noticed our movements already. But we can’t let our guard down; if he really has been captured, we’ll have to figure out a way to rescue him.”

Hearing this, Shingo Butcher couldn’t help but tighten his grip on his butcher knife, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes: “Whoever dares to touch my nephew, I’ll show them how tough I am!”

Logan and Bart Cloud exchanged glances and smiled helplessly. They knew that although Shingo Butcher was rough around the edges, he genuinely cared about his family. His impulsiveness and agitation on the road was headache-inducing, but it was this loyalty that also gave them a sense of reassurance.

As the sky gradually darkened, the wind outside the cave grew stronger, seemingly heralding an upcoming storm. Logan stood up, patted the dust off his body, and said in a low voice, “It’s about time, we should move out.”

Bart Cloud and Shingo Butcher nodded, and the three of them carefully exited the cave and advanced into the depths of the mountain range. In the cover of night, their figures gradually disappeared into the vast forests, merging with the unknown darkness…

Dusk had fallen, and a thin mist was spreading between the trees. Moonlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled shadows on the ground. Bart Cloud walked side by side with Logan at the front of the group, their footsteps distinctly audible amidst the silent forest.

“I always feel that we need to be extra cautious on this trip into the Demon Beast Mountain Range,” said Bart Cloud with a furrowed brow, a worried look on his face, “Even though our strength isn’t bad, who knows what dangers lie within.”

Logan chuckled lightly and patted Bart Cloud on the shoulder, “Old Bart, you worry too much. There are millions of demon beasts in that mountain range; if there’s any danger, they’ll be our best shield. As long as the Holy See doesn’t show up, what can possibly happen to us?”

Bart Cloud was slightly taken aback, then after pondering for a moment, he nodded, “That’s true.” He relaxed his brows, appearing much less tense, “I was being overly cautious. With so many demon beasts ahead taking the brunt, we really shouldn’t worry too much.”

The group continued along the winding mountain path, the sound of horse hooves clattering, after about thirty li, the view suddenly opened up, and a relatively flat clearing appeared before them. At that moment, a scout from the front of the group hurried back with a tense expression.

“Captain, there’s a force up ahead!” the scout reported breathlessly.

Bart Cloud immediately raised his hand to stop the group and asked cautiously, “What’s the situation? Give me the details.”

“There are over a hundred people, all of them Cultivators, but their Realms are not high, just average Transcendent Tier. Judging from their path, it seems they are also heading toward the mountains,” the scout quickly replied.

Bart Cloud exchanged glances with Logan, and Logan frowned slightly, “Looks like we’re not the only ones with designs on the Demon Beast Mountain Range.”

“Let’s go take a look first, don’t act rashly,” Bart Cloud said, leading the team slowly closer to that force.

As the distance between the two parties closed, Bart Cloud saw the other group clearly. The hundred or so individuals had also stopped moving and were watching them warily. The leader was a tall man with a rough appearance.

“Who are you? Why are you blocking our way?” the man shouted loudly.

Bart Cloud stepped forward and said loudly, “We are just passing by. Seeing that you’re also heading to the Demon Beast Mountain Range, why don’t we travel together? It would be good to have each other’s backs on the road.”

Upon hearing this, the man discussed in a low voice with his companions by his side, then said, “Why should we trust you? What if you harbor ill intentions?”

Logan couldn’t help but laugh, “We’re all Cultivators heading to the same place, why be suspicious of each other? Having one more friend is another path, and you understand this principle, don’t you?”
