First of all, he could change his appearance. Secondly, he could conceal his presence. There was no way they would be able to find him.

Besides, Mr Lang could control minds and make those who had seen him forget him entirely. That was something that the most advanced technology couldn't accomplish.

'Til think of something," said Butler Zhao. "Professor Lu Jing's been looking into this matter recently. Hopefully, he'll come up with something."

"Alright." Jiang Ning nodded.

Butler Zhao didn't speak further. He returned with Huang Yuming immediately and went in search of Professor Lu Jing, hoping that the latter might have some new findings for them. They knew that they couldn't rush research but they had to make full use of whatever time they had.

Jiang Ning had decided to kill Mr Lang.

Meanwhile, Mr Lang was oblivious to what was going on in the world. His attention was focused on his own matters.

"Why are you here again?" His ears twitched. Heifeng walked out from the darkness.

"The lunatic's dead."

"I see." Mr Lang didn't seem to care. "We knew he was crazy. His death is expected. Did he go to Donghai and provoke Jiang Ning and that old fellow?"

"No." Heifeng sounded solemn and slightly nervous.

"What?" Mr Lang turned and looked at Heifeng. Who else could have killed him then?

"It's Jiang Ning's men. They teamed up and killed the lunatic."

Heifeng was naturally nervous. At first, he had only been wary of Peter Pan. He had not regarded Jiang Ning as a threat because he knew that he could still run if he weren't Jiang Ning's match. But things had changed. Jiang Ning's men had managed to kill the lunatic. They had become a danger to him as well.

"His men?"

Mr Lang remembered the wolves, but he had not paid much attention to them. They were simply ordinary men who could be killed with a snap of his fingers.

"That's right. Peter Pan helped them

refine and enhance their bodies. I didn't expect them to become that powerful though." Heifeng's voice

was shaking slightly. These men et

were a grave danger to him. "We can't delay this any longer! We have to find the Longevity Pond. Once Jiang Ning and his men fight back, he's going to endanger both our lives. The odds are in their favor right now."

Jiang Ning and Peter Pan weren't the only tough opponents they had to contend with now. The wolves now had the ability to kill them too. This world was too dangerous for them.

Mr Lang laughed. No matter how strong the wolves became, they could never be a threat to him.

In fact, he didn't even consider Jiang Ning and Peter Pan threats.

"I see you've finally realized the predicament that we're in." He stared at Heifeng. "You should take your job more seriously then and do as you are told. Stop thinking only about yourself. You don't get to choose."

Heifeng didn't say a word.

He knew that Mr Lang saw him as a mere tool. No matter how much he didn't like it, it was the truth.

"It's time." Mr Lang pulled a piece of sheepskin from his pocket and handed it to Heifeng. "Go and wake everyone up. Then show them this."

Heifeng took the piece of sheepskin from Mr Lang and read it. His pupils contracted and incredulity colored his face instantly.

"Is this true?"

"Of course."This content is © .

"Does this mean that we can still find the Longevity Pond even without Jiang Ning's help?"

"He will help us. It will be quite a difficult search without his help but don't worry, he will help us to locate the Longevity Pond willingly. We can kill him after that."

Mr Lang narrowed his eyes. There was a deep and meaningful look in his eyes. The hard glint inside sent shivers down Heifeng's back.

"How about Peter Pan?" Heifeng asked.

He had no idea how challenging of an opponent Jiang Ning was but he knew Peter Pan's capabilities. The man could kill him with a snap of his fingers.

"Peter Pan?" Mr Lang laughed out loud. A dark and cold look appeared on his face. "Do you really believe that he's forgotten everything?"
