But immediately he frowned and muttered softly, "But such a big evil entity—Xue An—can't possibly be unaware of it, then why would he still want to enter the battlefield?"
As he pondered this baffling question, a nearby conversation caught his attention.
A group of fierce-looking men with rough faces were gathered together, whispering about something.
"It's really strange, just a moment ago the Head of the Stronghold was standing there perfectly fine, how come he suddenly disappeared in the blink of an eye?"
"That's what I'm wondering. I even consulted with the Head of the Stronghold earlier about what we should do next, but he completely ignored me, just standing there dazed, as if he'd lost his soul."
