After a while, the leading officer took out a mother-child talisman with floating inscriptions and showed it to everyone, "Look carefully, this is Lord Commander asking questions, I can't ignore it, this is not me contacting outsiders on my own accord."

Everyone chuckled, many of them with insincere smiles, each thinking, it's none of my business.

Their Lord Commander didn't ask about anything else, only about how the task was progressing.

The leading officer reported the situation and informed them of their current encounter, asking what to do...

Shi Chun's group, having left the city, was flying swiftly through the sky, constantly making precise adjustments to their direction, clearly aiming to collide directly with their target.

Both sides were rapidly closing in on each other.

Because of this, Yu Xuanbing kept glancing at Wu Jinliang and Huang Yingying.

He didn't say much, but truly had words stuck in his throat; he had just mentioned that at least one expert among the targets was at the Upper Heaven Immortal Realm. What are we doing now?

Just going to collide head-on like this? Is our head that hard? He thinks his isn't that hard.

The key point is, he noticed Wu Jinliang and Huang Yingying were surprisingly also completely unworried.

Little did he know, Wu Jinliang had already guessed Shi Chun's strategy, giving him confidence.

As for Huang Yingying, purely through interactions with Shi Chun, he had developed a sense of obedience towards Shi Chun, or rather faith in Shi Chun.

Or you could say Shi Chun held authority in his eyes.

He had followed Shi Chun in battling the Illusion Demon King before, he doesn't believe the Upper Heaven Immortal Realm expert they are encountering now could be stronger than the Illusion Demon King.

Previously timid and wary, he now had difficulty changing his nature, but as long as Shi Chun was around, he didn't fear; he hadn't sensed any fear from Shi Chun's face, even Giant Wu didn't show any fear, so surely everything was settled.

Of course, having battled the Illusion Demon King previously, his mindset had undergone a qualitative leap when dealing with certain matters. While he hadn't developed any great ambitions, he became a tad braver and bolder.

Anyway, since they were all so calm, what could Yu Xuanbing, acclaimed as the world's number one assassin, possibly say?

Shi Chun hadn't directly led everyone to charge head-on either. After moving away from the Heavenly Capital, getting quite close to the target, and confirming the target wouldn't change direction at short distance, seeing the favorable terrain below, he immediately signaled everyone to land.

The group rapidly landed on a lush treetop in a woodland area.

Shi Chun, while calculating with the compass's light points, waved his hand and grasped a metal umbrella, speaking aloud, "Jinliang, give the 'Void Escape Divine Arrow' to Old Huang."

This had been anticipated by Wu Jinliang, who directly took out a set of 'Void Escape Divine Arrows' and tossed them to Old Huang, with no need to teach Old Huang how to use them, since Old Huang had learned during the Battle of Great Pardon.

As Yu Xuanbing's gaze fell on the Divine Arrows, he couldn't help but glance repeatedly at Wu Jinliang; he could roughly guess the source of these Divine Arrows, suspecting they were the ones he had used before. Later, he discarded them, warning others not to take them, fearing they were traceable.

Now it seemed, this brute still couldn't resist taking them.

Several people stood atop the treetops, staring in the direction of the approaching light points.

After waiting for quite a while, Yu Xuanbing suddenly squinted his eyes and said, "They should be here."

Soon, the others also began seeing the black specks in the distance.

Old Huang's eyes suddenly turned dark and deep, as he intently observed, speaking out, "Just three people, carrying a black cloth bag, possibly containing Young Master Nan."

Yu Xuanbing turned his head to look at him, somewhat surprised.

Old Huang exclaimed again, "They've stopped."

While amplifying the compass's light points, Shi Chun also noticed this, simultaneously confirming those people as the compass's targets. Worried about any change, he decisively altered the plan, determined to move closer, "Go, let's get closer."

The group swiftly approached under the concealment of dense forest.

In the sky, the three indeed halted, the leader personally carrying the black cloth bag took out the mother-child talisman, glanced at it, and suddenly urgently yelled to stop.

The person on the left stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?"

The leader first scanned the surroundings, saying, "Those fools from the Ten Thousand Laws Cave Heaven who helped catch people, encountered a few individuals on their way back, headed to the handover location for delivery, are worried about possible encounters, and asked us if things are going smoothly."

The person on the right said, "We haven't encountered any pursuers along the way; shouldn't they catch up, right?"

The leader spoke deeply, "How do those investigating know the coordinates of the delivery location? Either someone leaked the information, or someone saw it, or…"

He suddenly peeled off the black cloth bag he was carrying, revealing the inside, blinking freely but unable to move or speak, Young Master Nan, "Or he has some tracing item on him."

The two people beside him were startled at his words.

Young Master Nan's eyes became even clearer, his little mustache lifted, full of honesty and friendliness, hoping to avoid being harmed.

He was curious about who was so capable, able to track him so swiftly after the incident at Ten Thousand Laws Cave Heaven.

He was already suspecting it was Shi Chun's team, because based on his instructions, under normal circumstances, only Shi Chun's side should temporarily know about his request for assistance.

If it indeed was Shi Chun, then he truly would be thoroughly impressed, wondering how Shi Chun managed to find him rapidly and accurately without contacting him, as he hadn't revealed his whereabouts to anyone, not even his subordinates.

Meanwhile, he wondered how the pursuers managed to locate him so quickly?
