Chapter 396: Chapter 398: One Ring Leads to Another

"Puh!" Ah Mo spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes wide with disbelief as he fell to the ground, glaring at his opponent.

Five men quickly approached, all raising their knives ready to end his life.

At this critical moment, a packet of medicine powder suddenly scattered over them, the men in black completely unprepared, inhaling it all.

Then, a clear and gentle voice reached their ears, "You rest for a moment. I’ll handle the rest."

Ah Mo looked up and saw that delicate and petite figure, as if seeing a savior, "Doctor Shao... Doctor Shao, thank you..."

"No need to be polite, hurry and treat your wounds!" Shao He helped him up and handed him a porcelain bottle, "You are injured now, this is the medicine I specially made to regulate your breath, and there’s also a bottle of golden sore medicine."

Ah Mo took the porcelain bottle, opened the lid, and applied the ointment inside to his wound. Instantly, the burning sensation disappeared, replaced by a cool and comfortable feeling.

Then he opened another bottle, poured out a medicine pill, and swallowed it without hesitation.

The men in black collapsed on the ground, unable to muster any strength.

They could only watch helplessly as the woman walked slowly over and inserted a needle into each of them.

At that moment, a figure appeared like a phantom and suddenly snatched the package next to Ah Mo.

Ah Mo and Shao He couldn’t react in time before the person vanished without a trace.

Confirming the departure of the other party, the two exchanged smiles, indeed they had been fooled.

Elsewhere, Luo Cheng carried the package and walked on a secluded path in a desolate area surrounded by forests, looking as eerie as a haunted house from a distance.

This forest was often prone to fierce beasts, hence rarely frequented by people, especially since it was also a necessary path for official roads; entering rashly could easily lead to death.

Luo Cheng carefully avoided trees and underbrush, silently sneaking into a cave.

The place wasn’t far from the official road. Occasionally, merchant caravans passed by on the official road. Luo Cheng, worried about being discovered, didn’t choose to approach the official road but went to a more secluded path instead.

"Young Master, are you sure we can get out from here?" The Hidden Guard couldn’t help but express his doubt.

Luo Cheng wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeve and explained with a smile, "Of course we can. The distance is the same as on the official road, but this path is more secluded and barely known."

After observing his surroundings to make sure there was no more danger, he took out a firestarter and lit a fire to illuminate the path ahead.

The four of them did not stop to rest, nibbling on wild fruits when hungry and drinking stream water when thirsty. After three days, they finally reached the boundary of Changzhou.

"Ao wu... ao wu..." The deep and frightening howl of a wild wolf became clearer and clearer, followed by the sound of footsteps approaching from a distance.

"Who’s there?" Luo Cheng tensed up, staring guardedly at the cave entrance.

"Swoosh..." The sound of a sharp weapon cutting through the air, flying straight toward him.

Although Luo Cheng’s ears were sharp, his body was extremely clumsy; he could only watch as the short arrow shot straight at him.

In a critical moment, the Hidden Guard grabbed Luo Cheng and dodged, the arrow slamming hard into the rock behind them, its tail still trembling.

Luo Cheng, frightened and perspiring, knew he would have been dead by now if not for the Hidden Guard.

A woman walked out from the deep mountains, accompanied by a wild wolf. With each step, a bell on her wrist chimed.

She wore a light-colored long dress, over which was a White Fox Fur Cloak, her delicate features and stunning presence captivating.

"Miss, if I may ask, how have we offended you to warrant an attempt on our lives?" Luo Cheng asked warily.

He also prepared to flee because he knew his Combat Power was inadequate, and staying would merely mean delivering himself to death.

"I merely wanted to test your skills. I didn’t expect them to be so weak," the woman said with a light smile, her gaze clear and fixed on him.

Seeing she meant no harm, Luo Cheng finally relaxed and bowed apologetically, "I’m sorry, Miss. I do not know martial arts."

The woman paused, seemingly surprised to meet such a polite man, and notably, one who didn’t ogle her.

"What is your name? Where are you heading?" she leaned forward slightly to ask.

Her scent, faintly sweet, wafted towards him, causing Luo Cheng to step back slightly as he replied, "I am Luo Cheng, heading to Soul Severing Cliff in Changzhou."

The woman’s expression grew serious upon hearing his destination and advised kindly, "Soul Severing Cliff is extremely dangerous, and it’s also plagued by miasma. You should not go there."

"I can’t, I have been entrusted to deliver something there, please let me pass," Luo Cheng said politely.

Seeing his courteous manner, the woman said righteously, "Since that’s the case, I will accompany you part of the way. I know a shortcut that can get us to Soul Severing Cliff in the shortest time."

"Really?" Luo Cheng was overjoyed.

"Yes, follow me," the woman led the group deeper into the forest.

After a day’s journey, they arrived at Soul Severing Cliff. The woman looked at the steep peak and waved her hand, "Luo Cheng, I can only take you this far. You have to walk the rest of the way yourself."

"Thank you, Miss."

"If you have the chance to return alive, I hope you can come and visit me here," the woman said with a slight smile, leaving with the wild wolf.
