“If we just go back like this, we’re certain to be sworn to death by our superior officials on the spot. I would rather die here in battle at least I could rest in peace!”

“That’s true.”

At that moment, a white shadow seemed to flash by.

Everyone was taken aback and prepared for battle.

As more and more cultivators from Chu Country flooded this area, the surviva pressure for non-Chu cultivators, especially those from Qin, painfully increased. Unless there was a huge disparity in skills, a face-off between them often turned into a full-blown fight. The unexpected appearance of the white shadow naturally put everyone on high alert.

But nothing happened. The only difference was an additional crumpled paper on the ground.

Everyone was startled, wondering: who on earth could move so swiftly?

Could it be Gentle?

Impossible!

Gu Yunfan looked at the individuals before him, stretched out his hand, and retrieved the paper ball.

Upon opening, he saw that the paper was a mess of hastily scribbled characters.

“Many thanks for the good intentions of everyone escorting me. However, with more people, the target becomes larger, making it harder to escape. Please feel assured and leave as I have my own plans to get away. Being adamant about unnecessary sacrifices is foolish. I do not wish to feel indebted for taking innocent lives!”

Signed, Gentle.

After reading it, everyone had no doubt that this note was sent by Gentle.

But, could everyone really leave as Gentle suggested?

“I cannot do it!

And, speaking of which, we’re not time-travelling to three days ago! How can we go back as the area is surrounded by Chu people as tight as a drum?!

“You’re right.”

The black-clothed leader glanced at Gu Yunfan and said, “As expected, he doesn’t want to rely on our strength and finds us a burden. Is this bastard really your disciple?”

Gu Yunfan said with a grimaced face, “Yes he is my disciple, but what can I do? I’ve been with him for a while and know well that he’s very cautious. He only believes in himself.”

“We might not necessarily be considered as a burden to him, but it is true that he prefers not to rely on others. Moreover, he really doesn’t want to owe anybody any favor. He’s pretty clear about it. He is afraid that we would make sacrifices for him and he doesn’t want to owe such a debt.”

The leader sighed, “People with these kinds of annoying personalities are always troubling! They’re hard to deal with, hard to influence, and even harder to predict!”

Everyone responded with bitter smiles.

“Let’s first find a place to hide some of our people. We can’t all die here.”

“The rest, those cultivators above Heavenly Level Five, stay put. We can’t ignore Gentle’s opinions but also can’t completely listen to him! We need to preserve some leeway.”

“Right. Let’s do it that way.”

…

Feng Yin was moving towards Wutong Mountain at that moment… Actually, it would be more accurate to say he was advancing towards the heartland of Chu.

The most dangerous place could be the safest place.

With the strict defensive line ahead, continuing forward would just be asking for trouble.

It would actually be much safer to turn back.

Moreover, he could use this opportunity to polish himself through actual combat.

However, from Shi Jiutu and others’ perspective, his action was genuinely… heroic!

“As expected, Gentle has really chosen to take this route!”

“I’d rather be reduced to dust than give up this blue sky!”

Shi Jiutu sighed deeply, asking one of the Heavenly Judge assassins by his side, “Where is Gentle now?”

“If we base it on the trail of corpses he left, Gentle seems to be turning back.”

“Keep a close eye on his subsequent moves.”

“Just observe his whereabouts, there’s no need to force a move. We are aiming for a fatal strike, to avoid all unexpected outcomes!”

“Yes.”

Shi Jiutu’s white eyebrows were tinted with worry, guilt, and conflict…

The young prince of Great Chu was standing beside him, eyes downcast.

[Will update another chapter in the evening. I’m experiencing a bit of writer’s block and this part seemed a bit filler-ish. I’ll try and write a bit more juicy stuff.]
