Chapter 357 - Hidden

“KILL HIM!”

Everyone’s killing intent flared up as numerous weapons were hurled toward the skinny man.

Li Huowang was the first to react, and he was also the one that the skinny man took notice of first. The man looked at Li Huowang before disappearing.

The moment he disappeared, Li Huowang felt his chin go cold.

His bronze coin veil has been hidden by the Muddled One!

Li Huowang reacted to it but now was not the time for him to think about it. He was in an extremely dangerous situation right now!

Blood surged into his brain as his body trembled. He looked at everyone around him. Ji Xiang, Hong Da, Tuoba Danqing, and Liu Zongyuan.

Fwoosh~

As he used his flint, Li Huowang felt his body being engulfed in flames, and a burning pain enveloped his body.

Kill them! They know that I’m a Strayed One now! I need to kill all of them and I must not let any of them escape!

Just as Li Huowang’s body started burning, Liu Zongyuan’s body shriveled up into a ball and escaped into the forest.

He wasn’t sure who did it, but at that moment, Li Huowang felt a strong force sending him flying backward.

As he was flying through the air, the burning Li Huowang bellowed and crushed his left eye, instantly covering everyone in an eerie light.

Seeing this, Ji Xiang grabbed the wish wood and pointed it at Li Huowang, only to realize that there was no effect.

Meanwhile, Li Huowang took out his sword as he prepared to chop off his own left arm.

“Er Jiu! What are you doing?!” A giant white impermanence shouted from within the forest.

“Stop wasting your breath! He’s being controlled!” Hong Da was very haggard as he stabbed himself with a rusted blade. Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

However, his words were enough to snap Li Huowang out of it. He looked at them in disbelief.

Wait, they can’t see that I’m a Strayed One?

At that moment, Li Huowang suddenly recalled one specific item.

Not only did he see through my identity and not capture me, he even gave me the spindle to help hide myself. Is his kindness real?

A warm feeling appeared in Li Huowang’s heart.

Li Huowang suddenly felt like he wanted to meet Zhuge Yuan again. There were many things he wanted to discuss with him.

“Er Jiu.”

Li Huowang turned around and saw the three of them approaching him. They had finished their discussion.

“Er Jiu, could you determine who it was that tried to take control of you just now?” Ji Xiang’s tone was serious.

“Yeah, I saw a bald Daoist trying to harm me.” Li Huowang flat out lied.

“Hmm...” Ji Xiang thought about it for a moment, before sighing. “FIne, let’s go back. We can talk about it later.”

Once everyone agreed all of them started walking on the dirt path.

However, they still didn’t trust Li Huowang as they surrounded him.

They had just taken two steps when Li Huowang stopped and asked them. “Wait, do any of you remember what our mission was?”

Hong Da was also curious and looked at Ji Xiang. “I only remembered that Ji Xiang summoned us, but not anything else.”

“I was also summoned by Ji Xiang. Lord Ji Xiang, what is our mission this time?” Liu Zongyuan asked.

Li Huowang also looked at Ji Xiang. He too remembered nothing else besides the fact that Ji Xiang had called for them. Ji Xiang had promised him that once the mission was over, he would give Li Huowang the information about the Sitting Oblivion Dao. Without such a reward, Li Huowang would have never accepted a mission with such vague details and rewards.

With the three of them staring at him, Ji Xiang became serious as he wiped the ashes off his face. He was thinking hard.

“I... I can’t remember.” Ji Xiang was unsure. “Why did I call the two of you again?”

Hearing this, Li Huowang and Hong Da looked at each other. They didn’t know why either. Ji Xiang called both of them out, but forgot why he had even summoned them in the first place.

Are the superiors all this frivolous?

“Never mind that. Let’s first find a village and we can discuss from there later on. Now that we don’t have a carriage, we need to walk faster or we will have to camp outside tonight,” said Ji Xiang.

Li Huowang and Hong Da also stopped hesitating and picked up their pace when they saw the weather.
