Ji Zhiyuan opened her eyes. The carriage was almost completely closed, so it made no difference whether she opened her eyes or not.
But when she opened her eyes, her mind would return to reality. It was fine if she couldn't see anything in the dark, but her mind would naturally reconstruct the current situation vividly in her mind, making the fear spread even more.
The familiar situation was like looking at oneself in a mirror. Time passed without warning. Because of the calmness, one's mind began to wander in it.
Memories were a never-ending road, and they always loved to trick you into softening your heart. Even if it wasn't that deep, it would still cause unfamiliar yet familiar feelings to surge up because of reminiscence. Until her desire was realized, she would realize that what she thought was tough was just a primitive desire in the end.
But to her, it was all that was engraved in her bones and heart. Everything was completely occupied, and there was no room for anything else. Only by pouring all her feelings into it could it transcend the body and transform into the real thing that she longed for.
She couldn't help but feel a little dazed as she recalled the past. The more she thought of making up for her regrets, the deeper the regret became. What if she knew his identity from the start? But because she couldn't go back in time, such thoughts were rampant.
"What's wrong?" Liumu Bingjian looked over.
In the darkness, her eyes were bright and full of expression. She wasn't bothered by the predicament and revealed a strong self-confidence that made people feel ashamed of themselves. Her voice was so quiet and unhurried that it was as if they were in her backyard, and everyone except her was a guest and not an enemy's cage. It naturally burst out with a dazzling brilliance, driving away the dullness in the carriage.
"Fourteen hours ago, the carriage stopped. I vaguely heard Xiao Pojun's voice," Ji Zhiyuan said in a low voice.
"Yes," Liumu Bingjian said.
"What can he do alone?" A disciple said dejectedly.
"I'm guessing he has the Fire Leech. Otherwise, how could he fight against the Xue Kuang?" Ji Zhiyuan said.
Liumu Bingjian's heart skipped a beat. "You're saying that Brother Yan came back and gave Xiao Pojun the Fire Leech to stop the army to remind us?"
"Yes," Ji Zhiyuan said.
"The car has stopped again. Judging from the noise outside, they seem to be cooking," Liumu Bingjian said.
"We're not far from the enemy's base camp. This is our last chance," Ji Zhiyuan said.
"I understand." Liumu Bingjian nodded. He knew that Ji Zhiyuan wanted to make some noise so that he could cooperate with Yan Li. "Miss Zhi Yuan, you know Brother Yan better than I do. What about the timing?"
Just as Ji Zhiyuan was about to speak, an order to assemble was heard from the outside, followed by another hoarse voice. "Lord Xue Kuang suspects that there are thieves among us. Pass down my order. All teams are to assemble. I want to investigate personally." Then came the rustling sound of footsteps.
The expressions of everyone in the carriage changed.
If Ji Zhiyuan's speculation was right, Yan Li must be in the Shadow Hall at this moment. Because of the unique skin color of the Ghost Clan, he would have been caught if he was in the Ghost Army.
Ji Zhiyuan stretched out his hand and took out the Rain Bell.
Liumu Bingjian quickly held her down and shook his head. "We only have one chance. Huang Shi, the Ghost Clan's Great General, is guarding outside. If we act rashly, we will harm Brother Yan. Now, we can only trust him. "
…
The sudden order to assemble scared You Qi out of her wits. She almost ran away on the spot. Fortunately, she was still rational. She knew that running away was equivalent to exposing her back to the enemy. That was suicide.
"What should we do?" She was panicking. Even though she had experienced many things, she had never encountered such a serious situation.
"We have no choice. If we are exposed, we can only take action." Yan Li estimated the distance between them and the three Snow Demon Carriages at the fastest speed. It was about three hundred steps. It was impossible to rush to the Ghost Clan's Great General and deliver the fire leeches without attracting his attention. He believed that Liumu Bingjian must be among those who were personally guarded by Huang Shi. After all, the name of the Goddess of War was famous in the Demon Realm.
"Listen, if a fight really breaks out, I will hold them off. You rush over as fast as you can and send the fire leeches to the nearest carriage." As long as someone in one carriage got the fire leeches, there would still be a chance.
"Alright!" You Qi gritted her teeth and agreed.
Shadow personally checked everyone. He only let them go after confirming their identities. Some of them even asked questions that only the real Shadow would know.
The two of them were at the back of the line. They secretly gathered their strength and waited.
Yan Li thought about the possibility of taking action to take down Shadow in an instant. In the end, it was impossible. The Shadow Hall Master's attainment in the Shadow Body Technique was enough to blind him. Once the Shadow Body Technique was used, he would not be able to catch the opponent's trace. He could only rush out of the encirclement the moment he took action and lead them in the opposite direction to create an opportunity for You Qi.
Being chased by hundreds of Shadows? They probably wouldn't even know how they died.
His scalp tingled at the thought of it, but there was no other way.
Obscurus was getting closer and closer. When there were only a dozen of them left, Obscurus tensed up. Unfortunately, at this moment, a pair of eyes stared at them and questioned them one step ahead of Obscurus.
"I'm the commander, yet I don't know the two of you. Could it be that you're the thieves that Master Xue Kuang mentioned?" The voice was sharp and thin, with a hint of coldness. It was like a venomous snake spitting out its tongue, causing one to shudder in fear.
The question was like a bolt from the blue. You Qi was so shocked that she almost made a move.
The two of them followed the voice and saw a skinny man wrapped in a strange gray robe. They couldn't see what he looked like. They could only see a sharp chin that seemed to have been shaved.
"Lord, we are new, new here. Of course you don't know us …" You Qi was flustered and said something incoherently.
Yan Li secretly scolded her for losing her composure. He slowly gathered his strength and gathered a breath of True Qi in his chest, ready to launch a thunderous strike at any time.
"New here?" The team leader laughed softly. "I am the team leader, but I didn't know that there were new Shadows. Isn't it a dereliction of duty? Do you want me to let you be the team leader?"
"I don't dare …" You Qi complained secretly.
"Silver Snake, what are you doing?" Shadow shouted and walked over with the Vice Hall Master Faceless.
The team leader called Silver Snake hurriedly saluted to Shadow. "Hall Master, there are two unfamiliar faces in the team. I checked them on behalf of you."
"Oh? What's the result? "Shadow's sharp eyes stared at Yan Li and You Qi.
Both of their hearts were in their throats.
Yan Li's hand was already in the posture of holding a sword.
"They were recommended by the Si House Master Yu Yuan." Silver Snake said.
This was an unexpected answer.
The two of them didn't know anything about the Si House, and it was impossible for them to know the Master Yu Yuan.
