Chapter 30: The Dark Shadow

The figure of the man gradually became clear in the moonlight, with a slightly chubby figure, a black coarse cloth coat, and a long knife in his hand, and was walking here, only to see him walk to the door, push the door and walk in.

Lei Wuchen hid behind a tree, thinking to himself in his heart, logically speaking, Wu Changan should come back tomorrow morning, why did he come back so early tonight, could it be that something happened on the mountain?

If Senior Brother found out that Wu Changan and they were not on the mountain, they should also come back, thinking of this, Lei Wuchen hurriedly turned around and walked back, he wanted to know what was going on.

"Lei Wuchen, what are you doing at night?", before Lei Wuchen closed the courtyard door, he heard Qing'er's questioning voice.

Lei Wuchen turned around and saw Qing'er rubbing her sleepy eyes, standing in front of the door looking at him.

"The moonlight is so good tonight, I can't sleep, so just walk around, aren't you sleeping?" , Lei Wuchen couldn't find a suitable reason for a while, so he casually made it up.

"I'm a little thirsty, so I'll get up and see"

"That's it", Lei Wuchen looked around, and said unintentionally, there was no Li Qing in the courtyard, and it seemed that he hadn't come back yet.

"Your injuries are not healed yet, don't run around, you rest early, I'm going to go back to sleep"

"Uh-huh," Lei Wuchen replied with a smile. After Qing'er entered the house, the smile on Lei Wuchen's face gradually dissipated, and then he turned around, looked at the dark woods, and said coldly: "Who are you after following me for so long?"

Before the words fell, I saw a figure jumping down from the tree, slowly walking in the dark, Lei Wuchen stared at the comer, this person was wearing a black robe, and the sharp eyes under the mask were shining in the moonlight, which made people shudder.

Lei Wuchen looked at the person who came carefully, although he was wearing the same mask, but this person was definitely not Mo Hanyi, at the time of the Lei family, he could feel that Mo Hanyi was angry and resentful, but this person exuded coldness and blood.

"I don't feel any breath on you, you're just an ordinary child, how can you sense me?"

"Guess", Lei Wuchen said indifferently, although he couldn't perceive this person's realm, Lei Wuchen could clearly feel a sense of depression from him, indicating that his cultivation was at least above the Ling Martial Artist Half Realm Stage.

The black-robed man seemed to be quite curious about Lei Wuchen's words, and asked, "What kind of guessing method?"

Lei Wuchen didn't answer, but asked this person: "What does Wu Changan have to do with you?"

"No one has ever dared to ask me questions", the black-robed man suddenly said angrily, and the fence wall in front of him instantly turned to ashes in the anger emanating from the man.

Lei Wuchen's face did not change, and he said calmly: "You have been monitoring us since the first time we stepped here, if you wanted to kill us, you had already done it just now, and you wouldn't have talked so much nonsense with me at all, so, I want to know if you are doing what you are ordered to do, or if you have another purpose?"

The black-robed man sneered, and the young man in front of him, who had no cultivation, said in the face of his ability to be so calm: "You are really beyond my expectations"

"No, you are beyond my expectations, this village is far away from the town, it is in a remote place, and no one here can practice, but your appearance today makes me very surprised."

"So, there's no need for us to talk about it."

Lei Wuchen didn't pay attention. continued: "Within a hundred miles, your cultivation is difficult to match, could it be that you are the master of the Night Spirit Sect?"

"You are really likable, I didn't want to kill you, but this is all the result of your cleverness" The black-robed man smiled coldly, and in an instant, the power that had already gathered in his palm suddenly wanted to thunder and rush away.

Lei Wuchen didn't dodge, just when he was a step away, Li Qing's figure suddenly appeared in front of him, the sharp white blade collided with the force that came from the impact, the fire was shining, Li Qing waved the long sword, and the force flew towards the black-robed man quickly, "boom", the tree that was hit collapsed, and there were bursts of smoke and dust, and the black-robed man was gone.

"Are you alright?", Li Qing asked as he withdrew his long sword.

"It's okay, senior brother, how is the situation on the mountain?"

"I took a look at the surrounding mountains and found that Wu Changan and the others had not entered the mountain, and they sensed that you had a strong aura here, so I hurried back," Li Qing responded.

Lei Wuchen looked at the scene in front of him, thoughtfully, and said: "After you went up the mountain, I went to Wu Chang'an's house, but before I entered the hospital, I saw Wu Chang'an come back, so I thought something must have happened, so I wanted to come back and ask you, but seeing that you were not there, you also know what happened later."

"And how did you know I was going to be around here?"

"When you find out that Wu Chang'an is not on the mountain, you will definitely rush back, and the time I came back from Wu Chang'an's house is enough for you to come here from the mountain, but you are not in the courtyard, I think you are around, since you don't show up, there must be a reason, so I deliberately said that sentence behind me, but I didn't expect that there was really someone", Lei Wuchen smiled awkwardly and explained.

"This person's cultivation is not an ordinary person, don't leave this courtyard until you have recovered from your injuries," Li Qing instructed.

"With Senior Brother here, we are safe everywhere, but the appearance of this person tonight makes me even more convinced that Wu Chang'an, the Night Spirit Sect and the Night Monkey Beast, all these things must be somehow related."

"How can you see that?", Li Qing asked.

"Judging from Wu Chang'an's early return tonight and the sudden appearance of the black-robed man, it is certain that they must have planned it, and deliberately let me see them enter the mountain at the entrance of the village, and it is inferred that I will definitely let you enter the mountain to check the situation, the purpose is to lure you away."

Lei Wuchen paused, and then said: "In order to confirm their relationship, just now I deliberately asked the black-robed man if he knew Wu Changan, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, at that time I could already be sure that they knew each other, and tonight's matter would naturally make sense."

"This person's cultivation is very high, and Wu Changan's strength is average, they know each other, it is indeed unreasonable"

"So, I thought that it might be because of the relationship between the Night Spirit Gate, so I asked him if he was the master of the Night Spirit Gate, but the black-robed man was contemptuous, so it can be seen that the black-robed man must be from other larger sects, and he knew that the Night Spirit Gate existed, and his cultivation must be higher than that of the Night Spirit Sect Master, and he looked down on the position of this door master", Lei Wuchen speculated.

"If there really is some kind of relationship between them, then there must be the same purpose......", Li Qing paused and did not say any more, because they all knew that the common purpose was the night monkey beast on the mountain.

"If you want to know what they are doing to catch the night monkey beast, I'm afraid the only way to go to the Night Spirit Gate is to go to the Night Spirit Gate in person", Lei Wuchen said in a low voice, but he also knew very well about the situation in front of him, if he let Li Qing go alone, and the people who were secretly monitoring them would definitely have a chance to take advantage of it, if he went by himself, I am afraid it would be difficult to enter the Night Spirit Gate.

Lei Wuchen slowly raised his head, looking at the bright moon in the night sky, the majestic wind blowing his handsome face, he really didn't know the problem in front of him, how to solve it?
