It was Jin Yexue who seed oblivious, standing on tiptoe and looking sharply in Fang Yu's direction, as if recognizing Fang Yu.
"So it turns out to be the Zuo Family's expert, our apologies for the intrusion. We thought the pursuers had arrived... it was all a misunderstanding, please, Zuo Family lord, spare us."
Guan Qingning was flexible, directly bowing his head in apology.
However, Zuo Caicai just threw over the severed head in her hand with a slap.
"Spare you? Fine, help us blaze a trail ahead, and once we leave the Death Forest, this matter will be over."
As soon as these words were out, the faces of the Juling Gang mbers imdiately changed.
Everyone understood Zuo Caicai's aning, and Guan Qingning stiffened his face and bowed his head.
"If we don't agree..."
"Watch your words."
Guan Qingning's words were interrupted.
"Taking your life would be as easy as retrieving an object from a bag."
Guan Qingning had to admit, he was frightened.
He glanced back in the direction of Jin Yexue, and with his last breath.
"We, the Juling Gang mbers, are willing to pave the way for the Zuo Family lord!"
"Good."
Zuo Caicai was greatly pleased, then raised her hand and pointed at soone.
"That woman, yes, you, co out."
Jin Yexue was clearly stunned, clutching her wooden sword, and nervously looked around, but no one responded to her, instead retreating to either side to leave a path.
"Co."
Accompanied by Zuo Caicai's intensified tone, Jin Yexue could only helplessly walk towards Zuo Caicai.
"I thought we would achieve our goal upon arrival. Unexpectedly, one-third of it was accomplished here."
Placing her large hand on Jin Yexue's shoulder, Zuo Caicai took the wooden sword from her embrace.
"Keep an eye on her, this should beco our bargaining chip."
Instructing her subordinates to watch over [Jin Yexue], Zuo Caicai returned to the group.
Everyone else just watched the event unfold, taking no action.
"She, and the wooden sword..."
Fang Yu asked softly.
Ling Huxiang whispered, "It should be one of the three artifacts ntioned in the mission and its holder."
"So if I kill the holder, does that an the mission can't continue?"
"I don't know, and moreover... if you intend to kill the holder now, you'll probably have to deal with Lady Cai first."
Ling Huxiang gestured forward with his mouth for Fang Yu to look ahead.
There, Juling Gang mbers had reluctantly entered the Death Forest and started carving a path ahead.
"They're not in a hurry; you shouldn't dwell on it too much."
Unfortunately.
Fang Yu sighed inwardly.
If a fight ensued, with so many people down, the blood volu would be able to absorb quite a bit.
Now they've all beco Zuo Caicai's fodder, making it difficult for Fang Yu to find an opportunity to act.
Whether it's Zuo Caicai's sheer luck or these people's misfortune, they all ended up being Zuo Caicai's cannon fodder consecutively.
The only good news is, the Juling Gang mbers, being the lowest in status now, can relax along with the Hei Family mbers.
A group of teams each harboring hidden motives began their grand procession into the depths of the Death Forest.
In the team, Hei Ao and Zuo Lv exchanged a frustrated glance.
Their initial target was this Jin Yexue; unexpectedly, despite twists and turns, they still caught up.
The only strange thing is, this Jin Yexue wasn't as the news said, alone; rather, she had the Juling Gang conducting a reception.
That Juling Gang lying in ambush here seed suspicious and must have another agenda.
Also, Jin Yexue's reaction to Diao De Yi seed like they had known each other for quite so ti?
Amidst their inner doubts, the two suppressed their confusion and followed the team forward.
As this team entered the Death Forest, not long after, another group arrived at the location.
"...We arrived late, they've encountered so situation."
"Let's move, enter the Death Forest, catch up with them. This is our Juling Gang's chance for a turnaround, allowing no errors!"
"Yes!"
This group quickly entered the Death Forest.
Everything returned to silence. As the setting sun gradually sank, within the dim forest where day and night were indistinguishable, the sound of insects chirping echoed, growing louder and clearer...
