"It's right in front!"

Gu Daiyan sped up. In her eyes, she could still see the burning tavern in the small village.

The sound of the horse's hooves became hurried, and her heart was lifted into her throat. From such a distance, she could see that there were almost a hundred people entering the village. When her mother left, there were only a few people by her side, so how could she escape?

The people who had trampled over the village seemed to have noticed them as well. A group of people came back, and a few soldiers beside Gu Daiyan stopped them: "Your Highness, let's go!"

Gu Danyan looked at the people in front of him and hesitated for a moment before rushing in.

If they really did it for the immortal medicinal formula, then they wouldn't have really killed her.

She decided to take a gamble.

Even if they were to be caught together with Yun Que, at least they could look out for each other.

Those people seemed to be frightened as they rushed into the crowd and retracted the sabers in their hands. They only used their hands to try and catch her from the back of the horse, but there were even people who wanted to attack the horse beneath her.

"Damn it." He cursed in a low voice and jumped down unexpectedly. He rolled to the side and stopped. Smoke and dust rose up, but no one could be seen.

Meanwhile, those soldiers no longer had any desire to battle. Instead, they tried to search for Gu Danyan's figure in the forest.

Gu Liuyan was shuttling through the mountain forest, but he didn't hear the sound of horse hooves coming from behind him. He also didn't see Duan Chengxuan and the other ghost men pressing their way forward as the flying insects in his sleeves finally came in handy.

If it wasn't for the fact that Yun Wan had left some traces on the road, perhaps she wouldn't have been able to find this place.

This kind of Gu worm was easy to raise, but the size of a thumb was extremely good if used to find people, but because the Gu worm was too small, it had to be within a radius of four miles to be found.

Since Gu Liuyan already knew that Yun Dian had settled down here, as long as Yun Dian still remembered to leave behind the Gu worm, even if she was alone, she would still be able to find her location!

The Heavens did not disappoint those who were considerate. When the sky darkened, she finally saw the crowd that was currently leaning against the tree trunk as they sat in a circle.

The few of them looked to be in a very sorry state. When Gu Danyan appeared, the remaining two men who could still move had already pointed their weapons at her. After seeing her face, Yun Xiao suddenly stood up and asked: "Yan'Er, why are you here?"

"Mother, of course I'm here to help you. It's not appropriate to stay here for long. The year before, Navy Tide Pier accepted the Water Army of the Sunset Water Stronghold. As long as anyone recognizes my face or my identity, they can be saved." Gu Danyan moved closer and held Yun Wan's hand. Yun Yi was held by her left hand and continued: "If no one comes chasing after us, we will see reinforcements tomorrow morning."

For some inexplicable reason, Yun Wan felt that her daughter seemed to be angry.

On the other hand, Zi Ling looked at the blood on the blade of the blade and the blood on the corner of her skirt with a strange expression.

"You …"

"Nothing, just some wild animals." Gu Liuyan said casually, but the hand that was holding onto Yun Su carried an unquestionable dignity: "We must leave, mother."

The two heavily injured people were both bandaged up, supporting each other as they moved forward. This kind of speed was too slow, but the forest was also very secretive. In the current night, other than the low roars of wild beasts and the rustling of leaves, there was nothing else that could be heard.

Gu Liuyan seemed to memorize the map and easily marked the location on the tree trunk, searching for the right direction. She didn't even notice that the village behind her had been flattened.

Duan Cheng Xuan and the ghosts were like headless flies that couldn't find the whereabouts of anyone.

Gu Cheng's men had already been swept clean, and only until the third fragment of the night did the ghost bring Duan Chengxuan to the middle of the mountain — two corpses lay here, one had blood flowing from his orifices, while the other had a piece of light yellow paper stuck in his heart.

"This is the paper that she's used to wrapping poisons on. If it's an antidote or ordinary medicinal herb, it would usually be white. She should have walked past here and taken care of these two people." The ghost squatted on the ground and looked at the wound on that person's chest. He raised his eyebrows: "She smeared poison on the cloud, the wound isn't deep. Judging from this person's actions, she must have gone to grab Gu Daiyan's skirt."

The reason he was able to chase up to this place was entirely because of the traces left behind by Gu Danyan's men. Thinking about this, he immediately sent people to search, "Find out if there are any soldiers of Er Dan nearby. If you find them, immediately protect them and ask for their whereabouts."

As expected, they found a few soldiers after an hour. Four of them were heavily injured by Gu Cheng's men, but it seemed like Gu Cheng's men hadn't had the time to kill them in order to catch up to Yun Mou and Gu Daiyan. Duan Chengxuan had no choice but to send people back to the nearby scattered villages to treat them and preserve their lives.

"Just a few dozen more kilometers and we'll be at the pier and the water barrier." Duan Chengxuan muttered to himself.

According to his thoughts, Yun Wan didn't want others to discover her identity, and she also didn't want to be associated with any royal family. However, the Water Barrier was a very important military location, and going there was not a good thing.

With Gu Liuyan around, it was not impossible for them to gain protection.

"To the Righteous Water Pass." Duan Chengxuan immediately decided, and he could only blame himself for not having thought of this earlier — He only understood Gu Liuyan's thoughts, but he was unable to guess what Yun Qi was thinking. He thought that if Yun Xiao were to really flee, then she would definitely not flee to a fortress like the Water Pass.

After all, as long as she didn't reveal her identity, as long as she got close, she would be killed.

Gu Danyan was naturally of the same mind as Duan Chengxuan.

It wasn't that she didn't think Yun Tong would join this place before, but now that she realized that Yun Wan didn't seem to be afraid of the Water Pass, which was so tight on the back of her hand, she whispered to the people behind her, "Mother, if you don't reveal your identity, you'll be killed on the spot if you go to the Water Barrier. But are you still going to this place?"

"I have no other way out. Also, do you really think that I would receive news from all the other countries in Navy Tide?" He said in a low voice: "Not only that, if the powers behind me really count as several hundred years old, but when the Yun family's descendants find out, they will no longer be involved. Now that the Wind Listening Pavilion has been destroyed and this secret has been unearthed, I can only return to Navy Tide City.

Only then did Gu Danyan remember what Lai Xuan had said. It had only been twenty years since Yun Qi left Navy Tide, but why did the Wind Listening Pavilion come and go in such a great manner?

"The power behind this is in Blackwater Town?" Gu Liuyan asked tentatively.

In the end, he still nodded his head.
