Wearing a hood, Chen Jing walked through the crowd. He no longer used the concealment technique of covering his body with spiritual power, as that would be too much of a burden for him. In any case, there were quite a few people dressed like him here.

Hidden abilities should be used in crucial moments!

He came to the suddenly bustling crowd, saw what was happening, and finally understood why there was such a commotion.

That was a team under the Black Hand, but there were two very conspicuous people among them.

One was a person dressed in full black plate armor and wearing a helmet, with heavy steps and no visible face. He held a halberd in his hand, making people feel as if they had been transported back to an ancient battlefield, with a sense of disorientation as if they did not belong to this world.

He did not ride a horse; in the Misty Lands, it would be difficult to find a horse good enough to carry his weight.

The other was a woman behind him, surrounded by many soldiers. She had long, flowing black hair, delicate features, and wore a common robe, but her hands were shackled. The shackles were very special; in addition to locking her wrists, there were many small chains and buckles that locked each of her fingers and straightened them, making her palms completely open.

Chen Jing thought for a moment and quickly thought of someone who looked similar to her.

I was stopped and questioned by militiamen when I passed through the city before. They asked me if I had seen a woman who looked like this before!

She is a member of the group that assassinated the Black Hand and is being hunted throughout the city!

The commotion was caused by her. In the Misty Land, it was rare to find such a beautiful girl, especially since she was the one who assassinated the Black Hand. Many people were amazed.

Chen Jing tensed up instantly, his eyes quickly scanning the crowd to assess their situation.

First, these militiamen were equipped with single-shot rifles with bayonets. These rifles were quite old-fashioned, belonging to the era of ruin warfare, and some of them carried longswords.

Secondly, besides the black-armored knight, Chen Jing also intuitively spotted several other people in the escort team who gave him a dangerous feeling.

One was a man in his thirties with a square face and slightly receding hairline. He wore a black hat and a somber black trench coat. He was not carrying any melee weapons, but he had a holster at his waist.

A young man in his early twenties followed casually behind the group. He wore a hooded trench coat, the hood obscuring his face, and dark blue cloth clothes. At his waist were a rapier and a pistol holster, and three daggers were strapped to his thigh.

Another young woman, wearing riding boots and a sexy leather jacket, possessed a unique, wild beauty, though her appearance was far less striking than the prisoners they were escorting. Strange patterns adorned her collarbone, creating an illusion that made one feel dizzy and disoriented.

These three men, along with the black-armored knights from before, occupied the four directions, escorting the woman in the middle, who was bound by shackles, together with the militiamen.

Chen Jing glanced at them and then lowered his head. In some novels from another memory, he often read about experts who could sense others' abilities based on their eyes and killing intent. Chen Jing lacked understanding of the power in this world, and he didn't know if cultivators had this ability.

Chen Jing ignored the crowd and walked toward the boarding area, pondering his next move.

The people around me were whispering about the assassination attempt.

"Have you heard? It's said the assassin used weapons from outside the world..."

"The Dragon Slayer Rifle... Ash City has never had anything like that."

"It's terrifying that the mastermind wasn't assassinated."

"It is said that a certain sect is supporting Black Hand, and he should have a deacon protecting him closely."

"Oh? Those assassins are really unlucky; they've kicked a hornet's nest."

"That's unlikely. What sect would be interested in Ash City? If they wanted to explore the ancient Song Dynasty, they could simply send an elite team through the fog to a very dangerous place."

"Perhaps it's some sect in the New Song City or the Blue Dynasty..."

"If the Black Hand has a sect backing him, shouldn't he make it public and use it as a protective shield?"

"Who knows... Maybe it's a balancing strategy between those sects that prevented any sect from daring to declare its occupation of Ash City first? I can't figure it out."

"What are you thinking? Ash City isn't that important!"

Chen Jing listened to their casual conversation but didn't get any helpful information. However, he had already conceived a rescue plan in his mind.

When they are escorting prisoners onto the ship, the bridge will definitely be lowered. At this time, I will use my ability to follow them onto the ship.

The difficulty lies in the fact that Chen Jing's spiritual power is limited, which means his invisibility time is also limited. He must reach the ship, find Wan Tong, and bring her out within that limited time.

Soon, Chen Jing arrived at the area outside the large ship, a no-go zone for unauthorized personnel, where many militiamen were on guard.

Even though he had gained superpowers, Chen Jing still couldn't control his nervousness. He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down and then rehearsed in his mind how he would sprint and parkour.

The escort team had crossed the market and arrived at the dock. The crew on the large ship had noticed this and lowered the bridge planks to connect the ship to the dock.

Chen Jing moved. He took a deep breath, and then spiritual energy covered the surface of his skin. Chen Jing felt as if he had plunged into a deep, dark ocean.

This was his second time using invisibility, and he was much more adept at it than before. Chen Jing burst into speed and sprinted towards the dock.

He used running and jumping to navigate around bends that required detours, wasting no time as he raced toward the large ship.

Parkour is an essential skill for every monster lurer! Sometimes, when monster lurers cannot run on the pre-set track, they must make good use of the surrounding terrain.

Chen Jingfei approached swiftly, quickly passing the dock and getting close to the escort team.

Chen Jing saw that the escort team was talking to the people on the ship. Although the girl being escorted was handcuffed with strange, specially made shackles, she did not seem to be panicking and seemed to be quietly waiting for her fate.

Chen Jing passed the patrolling militiamen; they only felt a gust of wind pass by.

Chen Jing arrived at the back of the group.

He saw the sailors on the ship. They were speaking to the black-armored knight with great respect.

Chen Jing seized the opportunity to run onto the boat, bypassing the crowd. They acted as if he didn't exist, and Chen Jing acted as if he didn't exist either.

Just then, Chen Jing saw the black-armored knight at the head of the escort team suddenly turn his head and look at him.

Chen Jing felt a chill run down his spine; he immediately realized that he had been discovered!

This black-armored knight can see through your invisibility!

His clothes were instantly soaked with sweat, and cold sweat seemed to be breaking out on his forehead.

Calm down! Calm down! Calm down!

Chen Jing's mind was screaming wildly.

Be natural! Let's see if we can get away with it.

The brain quickly made an intuitive judgment: if he turned and ran now, he would have almost no chance of escaping the pursuit of the black-armored knight.

So Chen Jing ignored his gaze and casually walked towards the cabin.

It was as if he was supposed to walk up there this way.
