Zhang Youji certainly knew there were people nearby, and moreover, Zhang Youji knew who among them!
Even though Zhang Youji knew who these people were, he didn't want to do anything to them. After all, among these people, there was Ye Tianfan, whom Zhang Youji wanted to join them, so Zhang Youji didn't do anything to them!
More importantly, if using this Dark Black Dragon to trade for Ye Tianfan was an option, Zhang Youji would be one hundred percent willing to do so.
Additionally, resolving Ye Tianfan and his group was crucial because the entire Demon Sect would face a full-scale attack from the righteous path. At this moment, the demonic path was not prepared to handle the righteous path. The Dark Four Holy Beasts plan hadn't succeeded yet, so the Demon Sect was powerless to counter the suppression of the righteous path, and at most, they might resist fleetingly.
