"Don't worry. As long as I'm still alive, I'll definitely protect you." Li Chengjun tapped a few acupuncture points on his face with his other hand to stop himself from falling.

Such a cruel poison. Even if he were to use his poison arts to expel the poison, it would still take an hour. But an hour later, too many accidents happened.

The black-clothed men behind them were menacing. The consequences would be unthinkable if Xiao Yi fell into their hands happily.

As he was lost in thought, the arrow pierced his shoulder.

There's more than one poison on the arrow...

The arrow was only a palm away from Luo Lingwei, and it was the second time it had come into contact with death at such a close range. Luo Lingwei covered her mouth, not daring to let out a sound of surprise. She was afraid of disturbing Li Chengjun's mind.

After stumbling to the outskirts of the city, Li Chengjun almost fell down on the ground with a gasp. The subordinate who had arranged for reinforcements had his neck cut off, and his body was lying around the carriage. The horses were also not spared, and all of them were killed in a single blow.

Crap, there's an ambush.

Li Chengjun put down Luo Lingwei and listened attentively. Sure enough, he heard the sneers from the two men in the shadows.

"Like I said, the left side is just a little fool who can't see anything, bringing along people who don't know anything. Even if you have great ability, where can you escape to? "

"That's right, it's all thanks to that idiot Ye Qingxuan. She was so stupid that she didn't give anything to that little girl." "We don't have to worry about that …"

The two of them were both experts in the art of restraining breath, they had cultivated to an unfathomable level. Li Jun hadn't even noticed them before they had taken the initiative to reveal themselves.

"Don't worry about me. "Run up the mountain."

Fortunately, there was a small mountain behind them. Since Luo Lingwei had no strength to tie up a chicken, it would be much safer for her to hide inside. No matter how many people there were, it was impossible for them to search the entire mountain overnight.

Luo Lingwei pulled away the messy decorative bell on her body, and without caring about her image finding the right direction, she picked up her skirt and ran.

"Li Chengjun, you must live."

He still had too many questions that he hadn't asked in time, so Li Chengjun must live on.

He watched as her back ran off into the distance. Li Chengjun drew his sword and faced the black-clothed man who was chasing after him.

The longer he could drag it out, the safer she would be.

"Kill!"

The two of them pulled out their swords and started playing to the left and right, trying to block Li Chengjun's path. Li Chengjun was about to fight, the floor was covered with dead bodies.

Later on, the black-clothed men did not join the battle and instead split up to search for Luo Lingwei.

After a hundred rounds, Li Chengjun, who was already weakened by the poison, gradually lost despite his high martial arts skills.

He used his sword to prop himself up. His eyebrows were raised, and his white pupils were filled with coldness.

"Your master can just be considered an old friend by this sovereign. I know what his plans are very well. However, I warn you from the bottom of my heart that if you do not want to be exposed, then let Yi Huan go. Your cooperative Prince Bao will not let you off either! "

The two Heroic Assassins disapproved.

"What does their master have to do with me? We brothers are entrusted by others. After accepting the money, he would have to complete the mission. I think Green Snake Bile understands the principle of paying for both items. "

The leader's throat was choked as he furiously blew the assembly order to turn his sword towards the two Heroic Assassins. At his command, the men in black came down from the mountain.

Li Chengjun, who had relaxed his guard, activated his poison. He touched the blood at the corner of his lips and pointed his sword at the two swordsmen, "You guys are still far from being able to play poison with me."

Luo Lingwei stumbled and ran into the dense forest behind her. The dense forest in the mountain was mostly made up of old trees that had been here for a hundred years. Yuzhou City had heard that a fairy had descended on Sunset Mountains. In order not to disturb the goddess's rest, few people came to the mountain except for the usual green ceremonies.

There were few people living on the Sunset Mountains all year round, and there was no one setting up camp on the barren hills. The bandits of Yuzhou City were probably afraid that the Heavenly Lady would punish them, so they all avoided this magical mountain forest. Other than clearing away the relatively short shrubs on the precipitous rocks, they could barely find a foothold.

From the distance came the cry of a crow. Luo Lingwei, who didn't believe in ghosts or gods, had experienced going through the system. I'm really scared of how to break it...

Using the moonlight, Luo Lingwei leaned against an old tree that they could barely surround with their arms crossed. She weakly asked the system, "How is it, are there any more pursuers?"

System: "No, the pursuers took Li Chengjun away. The two sides seem to have reached some sort of agreement. "

Trade? What deal? It couldn't be a Py deal, could it? Luo Lingwei shook her head to clear her mind of the colourful waste. With one deep and one shallow step, she walked up the mountain. Who knew if there were people at the foot of the mountain who were just sitting back and waiting to take advantage of the situation.

With the system's timer, Luo Lingwei crawled for more than an hour, her stomach growling in hunger.

Was there anyone on the mountain?

Luo Lingwei was entertaining herself as she recalled the novels she had read in the modern era. The novels said that a reclusive scholar would appear in the depths of the mountain forest, or that the mastermind would then reclaim the role and come up with some ideas to reach the peak of life.

Happily, perhaps the heavens had heard her prayer. Deep in the woods, a small courtyard had actually appeared.

"Ah, there's someone?!" Luo Lingwei happily ran over.

The small courtyard wasn't big, and there was an old woman in her seventies sitting at the entrance taking a nap, bored out of her mind. The old woman was too old and too weak to keep her silver hair loose in the rocking chair.

Luo Lingwei was too embarrassed to wake her up, but she was really hungry so she lowered her voice and called out, "Grandma, Grandma?"

The grandma's spirit was not as bad as Luo Lingwei had expected. She opened her eyes and looked at Luo Lingwei with a radiant look.

"Why did this lady come here alone?"

The old granny's voice was indescribably aged.

Luo Lingwei lowered her head to look at her mud-stained clothes and the torn and tattered appearance of the tree branch hook. Her expression was a little gloomy, she had used her whole life's acting skills to brew up two drops of tears.

Seeing that she was unwilling to speak, the old woman also stopped asking and pulled Luo Lingwei into the room.

"Come in quickly. The poor child must be hungry after running all the way, right?"

Luo Lingwei was moved by the sudden warmth of the stranger. There were still many good people in this world. In this modern era where everyone was on guard against one another, the number of people who could help out were truly few.

The old granny kindly held Luo Lingwei's hand, inviting her to sit down. She considerately brought in some delicious food, "You pitiful girl, how did you end up in this forest?"

The old granny's grip was very strong, it was painful to grip Luo Lingwei's hand.

"No, nothing. Just separated from my family. " Luo Lingwei forcefully retracted her hand while smiling.

Looking at the granny's kind smile, Luo Lingwei felt a strange sixth sense.

The old granny considerately poured a bowl of hot water for Luo Lingwei.

The steaming hot water was a great comfort to Luo Lingwei's exhausted body. Luo Lingwei thought to herself that she still had a hundred years of Netherworld Pill to drink. As expected, after drinking the water, her mind became muddle-headed. Luo Lingwei sneered.

As expected, people were not trustworthy.
