Gu Jianlin shuddered in shock. If the old monster were to descend here, it would be beyond terrifying.
With the terrifying power of the Candle Dragon Venerable, he wouldn't even need to deliberately target these ants. Just the aftermath of his supreme divine might would be enough to annihilate all living creatures within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, leaving no chance of survival.
"I've been hiding here for many years. Only Old Gu followed the marks I left to find me. Old Gu said that one of our Night Watchers' veteran officials was being framed and needed critical evidence. That Order of the Hidden is also eying us covetously. I have to stay hidden here a bit longer until it's safe outside, and then he'll take me away."
Lin Lan sighed. "I never thought I'd be waiting for you instead. Old Gu is already gone."
Gu Jianlin's heart stirred slightly. "The veteran official you mentioned, is it Mu Feng?"
