Ye Li showed an expression of noncommittal on his face regarding Wu Fan's speculation.
In fact, he himself had a similar speculation that the visitor might have deliberately targeted Song Yu and Fu Ang.
Moreover, the other party’s target may not only be Song Yu and Fu Ang, but also Ye Li and Wu Fan.
Thinking of this, Ye Li said: "Deacon Wu Fan, we have to be more careful recently. It seems that the other party's target may not only be Song Yu and Fu Ang, but also you and me.
If I'm not mistaken, the other party should be related to the Great Snow Mountain Cult, or those men in black.
Only our treasure hunting team and the senior executives who received the secret letter knew that we came back alive. It was impossible for the other party to know about our situation. It was obvious that they heard the news from other channels.
Now the other party should have only a few reasons for looking for us, either they want to know what is in the Fengxue Forbidden Land, or what happened to their people.
Or maybe they already knew what was hidden in the Snow Forbidden Land, and they wanted to take those blueprints back from us."
Wu Fan frowned when he heard this and said, "Team leader, do you mean that the other party is coming for us
Princess Caiyi has already returned to the Imperial City, so the other party will definitely not be able to find her. There are only four of us who can cause them trouble.
However, would the Great Snow Mountain Cult dare to do such a thing? Would they dare to cause trouble for the members of our Imperial City Treasure Hunting Team so blatantly
Also, I don’t know if there is any master who uses the power of soul movement in the Great Snow Mountain Divine Sect. This person may not have a simple background. "
Ye Li naturally had his own speculations about Wu Fan's doubts. He knew that the possibility that the other party was a member of the Great Snow Mountain Divine Sect was actually very small, and it was more likely that he was a subordinate of Dahuntian.
However, Ye Li had to keep his mouth shut about the matters of Dahuntian. There were some things he could know, but he couldn't let others know that "he knew about it."
The affairs of Dahuntian involve many people, and the other party probably doesn't know that Ye Li has been gathering manpower and strength against them. If the other party realizes that someone knows of their existence, then things will become complicated.
"Deacon Wu Fan, we have to be careful these days. It's best for us to stay in the camp and not go anywhere. Let's wait until the elders arrive."
Ye Li said to Wu Fan. However, Wu Fan showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, and said: "Team leader, I may not be able to stay in the camp all the time. I just received a mission notice that requires me to lead people to fully explore a ruin. I thought you already knew about this."
Ye Li was stunned when he heard this, and asked: "How come I don't know about this? Who gave you the task?"
Wu Fan said: "It's Elder Wu Yuanchun. He and Elder Zhang Hua are the elders directly in charge of our treasure hunting team.
It was he who personally sent me the message and gave me the task.
This mission is said to be a confidential one, so I can't tell it casually. Even if you, the team leader, know about this mission or not, I shouldn't mention it to you.
But now there is danger approaching, and I trust you, the leader, so I told you the mission."
After hearing Wu Fan's words, Ye Li felt a bad premonition in his heart.
"Damn it, why do all these tasks come out at this critical moment? Can you find a reason to ask Elder Wu Yunchun to delay the execution of these tasks for a few days?"
Wu Fan shook his head and said, "No, this mission is a death order. If I disobey, the consequence is that I will be recalled to the Imperial City immediately, my position as a deacon will be revoked, and I will be expelled from the Imperial City depending on the circumstances.
I... I have been here all my life, and I am really unwilling to give up my current identity, nor do I want to risk being expelled from the Imperial City.
Besides, my mission is to set off early tomorrow morning, and I don’t have time to contact Elder Wu Yuanchun to request a delay in the mission.”
Hearing Wu Fan's words, Ye Li frowned and was silent for a moment. Finally, he could only say helplessly: "Okay, I understand. You go ahead, but be careful on the road."
He really wanted to accompany Wu Fan on the journey, but if he also participated in the mission, it would mean that Wu Fan had broken the rules and disclosed the confidential mission to others at will, which would also be punished.
Wu Fan glanced at Ye Li with a complicated expression. Finally, he clasped his fists and said goodbye. He would set off tomorrow. He also had to recruit personnel and arrange other matters today.
Ye Li fell into deep thought after Wu Fan left. Tun Ri suddenly asked, "What are you going to do?"
A fierce look flashed across Ye Li's eyes, and he said, "What else can I do? I can only follow quietly.
It would be best if there is no danger, but if there is danger, I think I can help.
Of course, if I encounter a danger that even I cannot resist, then I can at least know where the danger is coming from."
Hearing Ye Li's words, Tunri nodded and said, "Anyway, be more careful in everything, the current situation is a bit confusing.
Judging from this incident, you have people from the other side in the Imperial City. They may not even be low-level members of the camp, but may be high-level members of the Imperial City. "
Ye Li's eyes widened when he heard this. He actually had the same guess in his mind, but after all, there was no evidence yet, so he couldn't say anything casually.
However, he now has a new understanding of the permeability of the Dahuntian organization.
Afterwards, Ye Li called some team members in and began to deal with the bodies of the two men.
Both of them were from the Imperial City, so the bodies had to be transported back to the Imperial City for burial.
After dealing with these things, Ye Li returned to the barracks alone.
In order to facilitate the actions in the next few days, Ye Li has already informed the other people in the camp that he will be in seclusion for three days and asked them not to come to see him for the time being.
However, the leader and deputy leader of the treasure hunting team are not here now, so Ye Li specially found an old man from the treasure hunting team who has both prestige and qualifications to meet the requirements, to temporarily handle various simple matters on his behalf. As for important matters, they can be resolved after he returns.
Before dawn the next day, Wu Fan left the camp with a treasure hunting team and headed towards the depths of Qilin Ridge.
After Wu Fan's team left the camp, Ye Li also quietly left the camp, followed behind Wu Fan's team, and monitored the team's situation from a distance.
The current situation is that the enemy is in the dark and they are in the light, so Ye Li has to hide himself in the dark so that he can be on equal terms with his opponent.
He knew that the enemy was extremely powerful, so he did not dare to follow too closely. He could only stay cautiously at a distance, not daring to expose himself easily.
Wu Fan didn't know that Ye Li was following him. His heart was full of worries at this moment. He looked around from time to time, appearing a little uneasy.
