Chapter 1587: Chapter 1409: Stormy Night in Jianghu

In the river, several strands of blood drifted downward from above. He immediately pressed his ear to the ground and after a change of color in his face, he quickly pulled Xia Dabao up, "We can’t linger here, we must hurry on!"

Xia Dabao had just finished washing her hands when she was once again pulled along by Yun Xiao, and she didn’t even have the opportunity to go inside and grab Yun Xiao’s cloak.

Soon after, two figures approached the little cabin, the Xuan Nu and the lesser Goddess from the Moon Heart Tribe, who noticed the still-burning charcoal and the cloak on the bed.

Both were familiar with Yun Xiao’s cloak, and they pondered its significance. The Xuan Nu was about to take it, but it was swiftly snatched by the lesser Goddess.

The lesser Goddess held a higher rank, so naturally, she was to be obeyed at this moment. The Xuan Nu dared not contend with her and thought to herself, Hmph, keeping it is useless to you, Xia Dabao had already said the person Yun Xiao occasionally mentions is herself.

Draping the cloak over herself, the lesser Goddess thought, Yun Xiao, you cannot escape my grasp.

After the Xuan Nu and lesser Goddess left, it was not long before Hong Yan and elder Yun arrived.

Hong Yan observed the campfire and the footprints before the hut, "elder Yun, at least four people have been here. Shall we split up to pursue them?"

elder Yun pondered briefly, then said, "That seems wise, let’s proceed with caution. Once we find them, we’ll signal."

"Okay!"

Hong Yan grasped the signal flare in her hand.

In fact, she had two flares, one belonging to the Moon Shadow Clan and the other to the Red Xi Tribe.

...

Yun Xiao continued to protectively usher Xia Dabao deeper into the forest as they fled.

Xia Dabao’s strength had somewhat recovered over the past two days. As they ran, she asked Yun Xiao, "Do you know who is chasing us from behind?"

"I do not know."

"What if they are from the Red Xi Tribe? If you don’t take me back, the Clan Chief will punish you."

Yun Xiao did not respond.

Xia Dabao continued, "Haven’t they said that I am a hero of the South Zhao Country? If I do not return, won’t your South Zhao Country face a disaster?"

Only then did Yun Xiao stop.

Turning to face her, he looked at her indifferently, "You have no obligation to sacrifice yourself for the South Zhao Country."

At that moment, Xia Dabao did not know what to say, feeling only a bitter sensation in her heart and a sourness in her nose.

They later found refuge in a desolate thorny thicket. Yun Xiao didn’t proceed further, just pulled Xia Dabao deeper inside to hide and covered her mouth to keep her silent.

After hiding for a short while, they saw someone pass by from the outside. The barrier of thorn bushes only allowed Xia Dabao to see a pair of female shoes.

Two women began to speak, "Where could they possibly have hidden?"

"Let’s search ahead."

"Okay..."

Once their footsteps had faded, Yun Xiao led Xia Dabao out from hiding.

Hidden in a nearby tree, Hong Yan had already noticed the situation and silently followed the two.

After tracing their path for a while, she lit the signal flare.

As the flare resounded, Yun Xiao’s brow furrowed.

"What’s wrong, Yun Xiao?" Xia Dabao asked anxiously.

"The people from the Moon Shadow Clan are catching up, let’s move!" He was about to pull Xia Dabao away.

But it was too late. Two figures dashed from the forest, the High Priest and the Priest from the Moon Shadow Clan, who quickly intercepted Yun Xiao.
