Chapter 364 - 364 WEAKER AND THINNER

364 WEAKER AND THINNER

Even if Bai Chen had doubts in his heart, he couldn’t just turn around and run away, and that was why he kept following Yu Ming’s lead to go to the border between Dong Lang and Wu Li. After riding on horseback for more than three hours, they finally arrived at their destination.

It turned out that the border of the empires was not only at Mount Heping. Contrary to that common knowledge, there was another place at a lower altitude that was also the border between the empires, and they headed to that place instead of Mount Heping.

When Bai Chen had only returned to this world a few months ago, he and Zhu Ge had walked towards the snow mountain to reach Dong Lang, but perhaps the reason behind that was because the mountain was closest to his palace.

At this time, it seemed that Yu Ming’s goal was not his palace, and that was why the fish demon didn’t plan to go to the snow mountain.

The three stallions stopped running when they arrived outside a forest. Nothing seemed to be stopping them, but apparently, even the horses were afraid to take a step closer to the woods.

At first, Bai Chen failed to notice anything strange, but as he used his blue eyes to focus on the area in front of him, he noticed how a transparent barrier enveloped the forest. The barrier caused ripples in the air, but if one didn’t look carefully, one probably wouldn’t be able to see it.

“What will happen if we cross the barrier without destroying it first, Yu laoban?” An innocent question escaped Bai Chen’s lips, and in Yu Ming’s ear, it sounded stupid.

The brown horse that had Yu Ming on its back stood slightly in front of the white horse ridden by Bai Chen, and the older man glanced back slightly as he replied, “Why don’t you try walking through the barrier instead of waiting for my answer, Prince Bai Chen?”

“…” Bai Chen couldn’t answer, but his lips pursed together in annoyance after hearing Yu Ming’s ridicule.

.....

People didn’t dare to walk through the barrier, and they even patiently waited for someone to break the barrier for them, and that was why he had assumed that it was too dangerous to walk through the barrier.

Moreover, it was the demons who set up the barrier around Dong Lang, and Bai Chen didn’t even know how strong they were. Hence, Bai Chen was not stupid enough to immediately jump off the horse’s back and walk towards the barrier just like Yu Ming’s careless suggestion.

It was Yu Ming who silently jumped off the horse’s back as he moved a little closer to the almost invisible barrier. “Weird,” he muttered suddenly.

Bai Chen and Wu Jingguo were still on the back of the two other horses, but then Wu Jingguo jumped down before following Yu Ming’s steps and stopped right next to the older man. “What’s strange?” He asked confusedly.

Yu Ming didn’t answer immediately, and he silently raised his hand before touching the air in front of him. Yes, it looked like he was touching the air, but he was actually trying to learn something by doing that.

“The barrier has weakened. The last time I visited this place with Xiao Hai, the barrier was still very strong and thick, but now it is weaker and thinner,” Yu Ming replied, and Wu Jingguo frowned after hearing what he just said.

“Do you think it’s a trap?” Wu Jingguo asked, and Bai Chen’s body stiffened as he continued to sit on the horse’s back.

Something changed with the barrier, and Bai Chen somehow believed that it wasn’t a natural change that happened to the barrier. Rather, it must be someone who made some changes to the barrier, and that was why Yu Ming detected the difference today.

‘If it’s a trap, then it would be more dangerous for us to get close to the barrier, right?’ Bai Chen nervously asked himself, and he was about to silently jump off the horse’s back when something black suddenly flew over his head before it landed a few feet behind where Wu Jingguo and Yu Ming were standing.

It was probably not right to say that it was something because Bai Chen’s blue eyes caught that it was a human-like figure that had just landed on its two feet not far from Wu Jingguo and Yu Ming’s position.

That person was dressed in black, and Bai Chen recognized him as the fake Shao Yaoting.

Suddenly, his emotions stirred within his heart, and he even gripped his horse’s reins tightly.

He remembered the story of the real and fake Shao Yaoting, and sure enough, he remembered how “Ma Qiao” had betrayed him all along. He could only feel anger and hatred in his heart at this time, but then he could hear how the fake Shao Yaoting spoke.

“I want to thank the two gentlemen for escorting His Highness the Prince to Dong Lang, but unfortunately, I will only welcome our Prince today. That’s why the two gentlemen can return to where they come from,” the fake Shao Yaoting, Shao Yang, politely spoke to Yu Ming and Wu Jingguo, but of course, he was talking about Bai Chen now.

Shao Yang’s eyes treacherously glanced at Bai Chen, and Bai Chen once again felt a chill run down his spine when he saw that gaze.

“Is that so?” Calmly, Yu Ming responded to Shao Yang. “I can understand Lord Shao’s good intentions, but we also can’t let Prince Bai Chen get away with a pretender. We want to meet the real Lord Shao of the Black Werewolf Clan, and that’s why you better get out of our way, Shao Yang.”

Yu Ming was not stupid, and he definitely knew that Shao Yang had bad intentions when he said that he only welcomed Bai Chen, and that was why he didn’t let the man have his way.

Shao Yang also didn’t look surprised when Yu Ming called him by that name instead of Shao Yaoting. Currently, Bai Chen studied important information. ‘It seems that Shao Yang was the one who was watching us all along. Was he also the one who killed Fan Zedong?’
