This night was destined to be very long.
Sitting in the yard, Hu Ma silently pondered what he had to face tonight.
He knew that the demon people of the Tan'er Sect were merely harassing and probing for now, likely trying to cover for those seeking Blood Food. They still didn't know that the old shopkeeper wasn't at the Manor. Before figuring out the Manor's true situation, they wouldn't dare reveal their true abilities.
But once they ran into the old shopkeeper and realized the Manor was just an empty bluff, that would be when they would truly go all out. It would also be when he, Hu Ma, had to step up and take charge.
And calculating the time, it was coming soon.
Hu Ma let out a soft sigh, pulled the half-full jar of wine closer, took a large swig, and wiped his mouth.
Some things were completely unclear from his perspective. He didn't know the old shopkeeper's intentions, nor what he truly had to face.
