"We've spotted them, so they will definitely send someone to scout, but until now, no one has come to scout," a fourth-rank peak martial artist murmured, though even as he spoke the words, he found it hard to convince even himself.

After all, no matter how well the enemy hid, what difference would it make?

They had the high ground, which provided a much better view than below. In such a situation, no matter how well the opposition concealed themselves, over two days, they definitely would have spotted some traces.

Moreover,

Don't they need to eat or do other things?

If there are people below and they indeed acted, then if these people hadn't found them, it would mean they lacked the strength; they were useless.

The sniper and several fourth-grade martial warriors listened to the fourth-rank peak martial artists' words in silence.

But in their eyes, there was some doubt regarding the fourth-rank peak martial artist.

They just hadn't decided whether to make an issue out of this with the fourth-rank peak martial artist.

After some thought, the fourth-rank peak martial artist knew this wasn't the time for petty grievances and said, "Let's send one person to check for any ambushes below. If there are, we'll discuss further plans. If not, we'll move in and take care of Wang Ye."

After Lei He, the fourth-rank peak martial artist, finished speaking, no one responded.

Clearly, over time, the ad hoc team had grown quite dissatisfied with Lei He.

At this moment, even if Lei He said something, those present weren't inclined to listen or obey.

Lei He felt a bit anxious.

After all, the team was formed on the fly, and it was normal for them to disobey him due to initial missteps.

Lei He didn't say anything. In this situation, it was inappropriate to insist, so he authoritatively declared,

"Fine, you all stay here. I'll go down and take a look. If there is no ambush, I'll send a signal to call you down. If there's an ambush, we'll discuss further."

"Fine."

Someone finally spoke up.

Lei He wasn't surprised by this; they had already wasted two days here for no reason. Not just them, even he would feel uncomfortable in their shoes.

Two hours later,

Lei He had been walking around below for some time, and during this stroll, he found that aside from Wang Ye, there seemed to be no one else.

If there had been anyone, given how he had been walking around so recklessly for two hours, he would have been caught straight away.

There simply wouldn't have been an opportunity for him to continue roaming around.

For a moment, Lei He began to doubt.

Could it be... there really was no one else down here?

But the key question was, if there were no one below, then why did Wang Ye seem completely unworried these past few days, as if not fearing their arrival at all?

Though doubtful, once he confirmed that there really was no one around Wang Ye, Lei He didn't hesitate and fired the signal.

He called the others down from above.

After firing the signal, Lei He headed directly towards where Wang Ye was located.

Though he had just fired the signal and the others were not far above and would take a while to come down, he needed to stall Wang Ye in the meantime.

In stalling Wang Ye, Lei He saw almost no chance of being overpowered by him,

even though Wang Ye was slightly stronger. But how much stronger could he be since they both were fourth-rank peak martial artists?

Moreover, could Wang Ye really be stronger than himself?

It's known that Wang Ye had taken down five martial warriors effortlessly last time, but that was only when he had used a sniper rifle.

And now, just by looking at him, it was clear that Wang Ye wasn't carrying a sniper rifle. So, there was no need to fear him.

...

Meanwhile, Wang Ye was cultivating under a waterfall when he suddenly sensed an alarm in his heart, knowing someone had arrived.

He walked out from under the waterfall, holding the Liu Yun Sword and a smile playing on his face—finally, someone had come!

Over the past two days, Wang Ye had been eagerly waiting for those who wanted to take him down to quickly show up and force his hand, to help him grasp the momentum.

Now, finally, he had his wish.

However, as Wang Ye emerged and saw Lei He standing about a dozen meters away, and scrutinized the surroundings to find no one else, a look of disappointment crossed his face.

Deep disappointment.

While Lei He had been observing Wang Ye's facial expressions since he appeared,

at that moment, seeing the change on Wang Ye's face, Lei He was briefly stunned.

What the hell?

Why did Wang Ye look somewhat regretful?

And at that moment, Wang Ye turned his gaze on Lei He and asked, "Why is it just you? Where are the others? Why hasn't anyone else come?"

"Did they not find me?"

This attitude puzzled Lei He even more. Shouldn't Wang Ye have realized that his presence meant he'd been exposed and that more would come, prompting him to flee?

Quickly, Lei He understood Wang Ye's intention.

Wang Ye probably wanted to know if he was alone, and if so, to quickly take him down.
