Ambush

Outside the Temple of Incantation, several guards of the Leaf tribe saw Fang Heng coming and going, their expressions turning cold as they stopped him at the gate.

"Elder Rudyard has not returned yet. Please leave."

Fang Heng was accustomed to the attitude of the Leaf tribe and didn't mind. He paused and asked, "Where did Elder Rudyard go? Are you sure he's still safe?"

The expressions of the Leaf tribe guards changed instantly.

"Human, what do you mean by that?"

"It's nothing. I just encountered an ambush by the Wood tribe outside," Fang Heng explained briefly about the attack he faced from the Wood tribe outside.

Upon hearing this, the guards also realized that the situation was grim.

"The Wood tribe? Are you sure it was an attack by the Wood tribe? Is what you're saying true?"

"I have no reason to lie to you. If you don't believe me, you can go and investigate for yourselves."
