"Hurry up, hurry up."
The Second Elder's hysterical shouting came again, and the faces of the other Elders changed as well. They were reminded of the tragic outcomes of several battles with Mu Qian, and all of them grew anxious inside. Now, only by having that child in their grasp could they find a sliver of security.
Gunfire paused for just a moment, then resumed, kicking up dust all across the wide open space.
However, Mu Qian's figure had yet to appear, and everyone was on edge, terrified that the ghost-like figure would suddenly materialize behind them.
"Didn't you hear me? Hurry up!"
Wen Jiaren was pushed twice from behind by Mu Zhi, involuntarily quickening her pace.
The Elders couldn't stand the wait and began to walk briskly towards them. The carefully laid trap had been utterly ruined due to Mu Qian's inexplicable disappearance, and their grand preparation seemed as ineffectual as a thunderous noise followed by paltry raindrops, utterly failing to serve its purpose.
