In the mist, Lu Ziyuan only saw Zhong Muyu wave her hand, but he didn't hear what she said.
After Zhong Muyu completely disappeared, Master Wen turned to Lu Ziyuan and said, "I have already found out their location. When we rescue them, Mr. Xuanzhu should be with you. So I can rest assured."
Lu Ziyuan agreed without asking any further questions. This man was mysterious, and he didn't want to get involved in their affairs. He just wanted to rescue Zhong Muyu.
On the other side...
Zhong Muyu opened her eyes groggily, and the cold air touching her skin instantly woke her up.
She was bound in a dark stone chamber. A circle was drawn on the ground with her in the center, filled with unknown patterns, and a ring of candles was lit around her.
It looks especially like an evil religious ritual.
The Shadow Witch didn't seem to have tied her up too tightly. Zhong Muyu took out a small knife and cut the straw ropes binding her. She quickly cut them off, and when her feet touched the ground, the coldness made her gasp.
Zhong Muyu was very grateful that Lu Ziyuan was able to come and save her so quickly; otherwise, given the temperature here, she would have frozen to death if she had stayed here any longer.
After taking out spare clothes and shoes from her spatial storage and putting them on, Zhong Muyu went to the door of the stone chamber, turned the mechanism on the door, and the door opened.
This place seemed to be underground, with crisscrossing paths. Zhong Muyu dared not be careless and could only proceed cautiously.
Not far ahead, Zhong Muyu heard voices.
"She should be awake by now. Let's hurry and get her out of here!"
"Why? Isn't this place quite secluded?"
“The Spirit Clan has found this place. It’s no longer safe here. Do as I say. Let’s move to Princess Wu Zhao’s place and give her this to use, so she won’t cause any more trouble.”
It's the voices of Shadow Witch and Su Zhirou!
Zhong Muyu looked around. The passageway was very narrow, with nowhere to hide. She didn't know what the Shadow Witch was going to use on her. When in doubt, caution was the best policy.
So Zhong Muyu quickly retreated and hid at another corner of the fork in the road.
The two men did not notice her, and Zhong Muyu took the opportunity to slip away. However, the place was too complicated, and Zhong Muyu could not find a way out.
She scratched her hair in frustration, just as a gust of wind blew a strand of hair up.
Is it windy?
Zhong Muyu's eyes lit up. If there was wind, it meant there was an exit, so she quickly ran in the direction of the wind.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Zhong Muyu finally escaped that place. It was still dark, but the sky was beginning to lighten with the first hint of dawn.
This seemed to be a building built in the mountains, and Zhong Muyu carefully made her way forward. Although she didn't know where she was, as long as she got out, everything would be easier.
However, things did not go as planned.
"Zhong Muyu, where do you think you're going?"
Several torches lit up in front of her, and Shadow Witch and Su Zhirou were blocking her way, while her back was also blocked by their people.
Shadow Witch stared coldly at her: "Trying to run away? Not so easy. From now on, you'll have to come with us."
The way they looked at her like she was prey made Zhong Muyu extremely uncomfortable, and she couldn't help but get angry: "Who wants to be with you!"
After saying that, she pulled out her gun and fired directly at the people blocking the road.
"Ah! What kind of weapon is this?!"
Su Zhirou was startled and retreated in fear, leaving the dream that allowed her to command the wind and rain. In reality, her cowardice was completely exposed.
Shadow Witch quickly reassured everyone: "Don't be afraid, there are many of us, she can't hurt you!"
Are you sure?
Zhong Muyu shot Su Zhirou without hesitation.
I've disliked her for a long time.
"Su Zhirou! Grab her quickly!"
Although those people were afraid of the weapon in Zhong Muyu's hand, they had no choice but to obey the Shadow Witch's orders and rush towards her.
Zhong Muyu kept running until he finally found a flat road down the mountain. He then found the bicycle that he liked, got on it, and rode off, firing shots at the back as he ran.
The hillside was a bit steep, and the bicycle bounced and hopped down it. Zhong Muyu didn't know which way to go, so she could only follow the path. Unexpectedly, the path suddenly disappeared, and she and the bicycle fell into the bushes.
"Ptooey!"
Zhong Muyu spat out the grass in her mouth and struggled to her feet, but the chase behind her had not stopped.
This place was no longer suitable for cycling, so Zhong Muyu had to put her bicycle away and carefully descend the mountain.
On the mountain, Su Zhirou looked at the blood seeping from her stomach, her face completely drained of color.
"Master, save me..."
"Don't be afraid, eat this first."
The Shadow Shaman slipped a pill into her mouth and then quietly placed her on the ground.
"Master, I'm in a lot of pain, I need a doctor."
"Where can I find a doctor in this desolate wilderness, Su Zhirou? It's your fate, I can't save you."
The Shadow Witch's expression was indifferent, but there was still regret in her eyes.
It's a pity that we found someone with such talent who was suitable to learn dream manipulation, but he was killed by Zhong Muyu so quickly.
Of course, it's just a pity to lose a useful tool.
After Shadow Witch finished speaking, she abandoned her and followed the others to chase after Zhong Muyu. Su Zhirou looked desperate: "Master, you can't leave me behind!"
She crawled forward on her belly, leaving a short trail of blood on the ground.
"Zhong Muyu, Zhong Muyu..."
She stared angrily ahead, her vision blurring, but the pain in her body lessened.
Having spent half her life striving and plotting, and unable to let go of her obsession with revenge even in death, Su Zhirou never imagined that she would end up like this.
...
When Zhong Muyu finally made it down the hillside and onto a relatively flat road, the people chasing her closed the distance.
"She's there, don't let her get away!"
Zhong Muyu was not afraid. She fired two blank shots, which indeed intimidated them.
"Captain! Did she hit us?"
"No, there shouldn't be any. Check yourselves; if there are no holes, then it's fine! Let's extinguish the torches and quietly approach her so she won't notice us!"
"That's right! Let's do it that way."
Those people extinguished the torches, and Zhong Muyu could no longer see their traces.
However, just as they reached down, a colossal creature appeared before them.
Then, the enormous thing suddenly lit up, startling them again.
Zhong Muyu rolled down the car window and waved to them: "Farewell forever!"
"What?"
With a thunderous roar and billowing dust, the enormous vehicle carrying Zhong Muyu vanished from their sight in an instant.
"Captain, what was that just now?"
The captain was completely dumbfounded: "I...I don't understand either..."
"idiot!"
The Shadow Witch's angry voice rang out from behind.
Several people immediately knelt down: "Sir, that woman conjured up a huge creature from somewhere, sat on it, and disappeared in an instant. We couldn't catch up with her at all."
"A colossal creature that appeared out of nowhere?"
The Shadow Witch narrowed his eyes, lost in thought.
It seems she's been playing dumb all along, but she's actually hiding quite a bit.
