Zhang Wei looked at the psychic array with a complex look and said,
"Don’t you know? The authorities never interfere in matters related to such type of incident!"
"Huh? Why?" Gu Jin was genuinely confused.
Why would someone set up such a deadly psychic array in the middle of the forest? And why wouldn’t the authorities help?
Zhang Wei gritted his teeth and said,
"It is the work of those worms!"
Gu Jin rolled her eyes and said,
"You can create this mysterious environment later leader, now you need to quickly tell me who is behind this?"
Zhang Wei was embarrassed when Gu Jin exposed him and scolded her,
"You kid! I was saying everything for your own benefit! Anyway, it is the work of...."
Suddenly the cloud flashed with lightning and the air intensified.
"Ebon Shadow!"
The sound of lightning came and the atmosphere turned chilly.
Gu Jin’s lips twitched with anger and she said,
"Xu Mingtao and Liu Sunhao, trust me if you dare to use this effect again, I would throw you from where you are sitting."
These two brats can’t even understand that they are having an important conversation and tried to do this dumb sh*t!
Xu Mingtao smiled sheepishly and asked,
"How do you know that it was me?"
"Yeah! I didn’t even do anything!" Liu Sunhao sighed.
When Gu Jin didn’t answer him, Liu Sunhao showed an angry look and said,
"Hey! Su Jin, remember I am your senior in this group if you dare to show me attitude I will..."
"Shut up!" Zhang Wei shouted and Liu Sunhao obediently shut his mouth.
Gu Jin was truly speechless by Liu Sunhao.
Does he not understand the type of danger they were in? Or does he...
"Yes. So what I was saying? Ebon of Shadows! They are a group of Mage with very high cultivation, however they hate humanity for some reason."
Gu Jin understood.
Even in her previous life, many groups wanted to make humanity go extinct.
They hated humanity. And the reason for it...was either their past or their obsession.
Gu Jin wasn’t the type of person who would be concerned with such people. Do they want to destroy the world? Go ahead.
But don’t try to touch her or her loved ones, otherwise, she would ensure that they would have nowhere to go.
Gu Jin asked the next important question,
"So why are authorities not concerned? Why don’t they catch them? And why wouldn’t they help?"
"More like how tired they are. Also, the last time a police officer tried to help in such an incident, in the end, his entire family was harassed and almost killed.
From then on normal police officers don’t interfere in such a matter."
Gu Jin could understand the meaning behind Zhang Wei’s words and asked,
"So you are saying that even if we overcome this crisis those Ebon Shadows members would follow us?"
Zhang Wei kept his mouth shut.
"Exactly." A cold voice said.
Everyone was stunned and turned to look in the direction from where the voice came and sure enough, they saw a person in a black cloak standing on the branch of one of the trees.
His hands were behind and his entire face was covered. His aura was dangerous.
On his cloak was a symbol. However, due to the distance, the entire group couldn’t see the symbol.
Gu Jin’s pocket vibrated but she was too focused on the man and hence she didn’t sense it.
"Who are you?" Zhang Wei asked but his trembling voice told everyone that he knew who that person was.
"Don’t you know? Or...you already have the idea but still want to accept the reality." The cold voice said.
"Are... you a member of...E-Ebon Shadows?" Zhang Wei asked.
The black-cloaked man chuckled,
"Not yet. Actually, this psychic array was my test. And because of you six, I am close to failing my test.
If you put away those cheap of yours, I might give you an easy death."
Zhang Wei kept his mouth shut and disagreed right away.
"Having difficulty in deciding? Fine, I will help you."
Then the black-cloaked man snapped his finger forming an arc and Zhang Wei felt a sharp pain on his right shoulder.
"Ahhhhh." Zhang Wei shouted and Gu Jin quickly used her vines to stop Zhang Wei from falling while she used her other vine to catch Zhang Wei’s right arm.
Yes. Zhang Wei’s right arm had been cut off.
The other members were horrified.
