Chapter 1281: Two Bows, Out of Control (5k)

Wen Yan agreed to this, he was originally going to go.

Because he found a suitable way to return, even though going to the Ancient Dream itself was risky, he wanted to give it a try.

When there’s no hope, it’s fine, but when you find a direction, if you don’t take a chance, you know you’ll regret it.

Wen Yan glanced at Er Jingong and pondered for a moment.

“Want to make a contribution?”

“I don’t seem to have any opportunities to make a contribution, it can only be considered as confessing for leniency.”

“One thing at a time, the offense you committed isn’t that serious. You’ve already served time for what you did before, and later at most, it can only be considered as assisting in transporting things.”

The other crimes committed by those people, you weren’t involved, so they won’t be forcibly pinned on you.

If you assist in uncovering other cases, then it’s considered a contribution.

Of course, that’s not the most important thing. The most important thing is, you’re not stupid, you can figure it out yourself.”

Er Jingong fell silent after returning. He was exhausted and sleepy but still woke up abruptly shortly after falling asleep.

Because he also knew, the matter was far from being over.

He had long known about the Scorching Sun Department and understood that this world wasn’t as simple as it appeared, but truly experiencing something so dangerous that left him utterly powerless was a first.

He clearly knew that this time, it wasn’t Wen Yan falling into that strange and dangerous place, it was him.

Wen Yan was just caught in it.

After coming back, he didn’t dare to continue recalling or thinking about the past.

But the less he wanted to remember, the clearer his memories became.

He couldn’t completely stop himself from thinking.

When he woke up from nightmares, he’d break out in a cold sweat and didn’t dare confirm what the nightmare was about. Looking up at the wall’s plaster line, he’d immediately force himself to find something to divert his attention.

Hey, look at this plaster line, it sure is a plaster line. Look at the splicing spot, it’s really well done.

He knew that if he recalled certain things, it might trigger something, causing him to fall into it again.

Who knows, dreaming about something might lead him into that strange, dangerous space.

The more he understood this, the more despairing it felt.

Looking back, only then did he realize that him surviving until now was sheer good luck, along with having a wife and children occupying all his thoughts in everyday life.

Er Jingong certainly understood the current situation.

He had no choice; if he wanted to live, wanted to protect his family, he had to go all out to solve these problems.

All he could do was assist and strive to tell Wen Yan every detail he knew.

Wen Yan needed to go again, to target the Ancient Dream, definitely through Er Jingong as an intermediary.

This was the most suitable choice for now, other choices were too much of a gamble.

And Er Jingong should be aware, falling into it once doesn’t mean it’s over.

This was a matter of core interest, there’s no choice.

If he wanted to survive, he’d have to rely on Wen Yan and the Scorching Sun Department to thoroughly resolve these problems.

Wen Yan chatted with Er Jingong, and after confirming, he was at ease.

“Sleep, here, you won’t suddenly disappear, don’t worry.”

Wen Yan arranged for Er Jingong to rest, and he himself went to the backyard, quietly reviewing documents and real-time updates on the intelligence.

The path to the White Fox Clan Territory had been blocked by Wen Yan, only unless someone like him wouldn’t get lost could they possibly enter.

At that time, Wen Yan didn’t want to directly destroy those White Foxes, nor did he want them to continue meddling in outside affairs, and he didn’t want anyone to take the opportunity to do anything later, so he simply cut off the route to the White Fox Clan Territory. For the White Fox Tribe, whose power had plummeted at that time, this wasn’t harming them, it was actually preserving their flame, giving them hope for survival.

When Wen Yan did this, he hadn’t really thought it through, but some people knew the inside story and understood the complex entanglement involved, so they felt Wen Yan was being soft-hearted.

At that time, Wen Yan only needed to leave without doing anything, and in less than three months, the White Fox Tribe would self-destruct.

With the idea of soaring high, using blood sacrifices to summon things from the Great Wilderness, it was considered traitorous by the Demon Clan.

The Demon Clan internally didn’t go to kick them down politically, but those demons and humans implicated in the disputes wouldn’t miss the opportunity to kick them down.

The fact that someone went to the White Fox Clan Territory was discovered by demons from the Huixian’er line.

As for why they just happened to discover this, everyone knowingly didn’t ask. As long as the matter was confirmed real, it was enough.

The person’s photo was taken, along with a short video clearly showing the person disappearing at the entrance.

The identity of this person was dug out, to put it nicely, called an adventurer, to put it bluntly, just a ground rat, the most famous feat was being buried underground, then tunneling through for five days and emerging from a cave tens of kilometers away.

In the video, it seemed that guy wasn’t really eager to go, hesitated there for a while, finally made a phone call, then tied a special pulling rope to himself and entered the entrance to the White Fox Clan Territory.

And that was it, the people there wanted to cause trouble for others but didn’t want to get involved themselves.
