Mu Run emerged from the central army camp, looking utterly dejected.
The donkey cart driver hadn't left; he was still waiting for Mu Run. When he saw her come out, he hurried over to greet her, "Madam, do you still need the cart? We can offer you half the price for the return trip; five taels of silver will suffice."
Mu Run took out five taels of silver. "Thank you."
He staggered onto the donkey cart.
Zhong Jiu followed, and just as he was about to get on the bus, he heard Mu Run's voice coming from inside the bus, "No need to follow."
Zhong Jiu stopped, looking at the donkey cart with a worried expression. He waited until they were about a hundred meters apart before following it.
Mu Run was once a Dark Raven; she could detect him if he got too close, so she could only follow him from a distance.
As the donkey cart passed through a grove of trees, a woman dressed in a gorgeous dress lay down in the middle of the path.
If the donkey cart wants to go through, it will have to pass by her.
The coachman said to Mu Run, "A woman has collapsed on the road."
Mu Run lifted the car curtain.
Sure enough, a woman was lying unconscious on the ground. He got out of the car and went over to help her up.
Sudden changes often happen in the blink of an eye.
The woman suddenly opened her pair of pitch-black eyes and spewed a cloud of black mist at Mu Run!
Mu Run quickly avoided it.
He shouted sharply, "Who goes there?!"
But even at a fast pace, I still managed to take a small sip.
The woman giggled and laughed, "I'm not human!"
"Not human?!" Suddenly, everything went black before Mu Run's eyes, and his consciousness scattered, unable to concentrate no matter what he did.
Finally, he tilted to the side and fell to the ground!
The coachman immediately urged the carriage to run away.
But the woman instantly moved in front of the driver and bit his neck... At lightning speed, the driver gradually turned into a dried-up human body!
When Zhong Jiu arrived at the grove, he saw the donkey cart stopped in the middle of the road, and the driver turned into a dried-up human body!
There was also a red coral hairpin on the ground, one of the hairpins that Mu Run used to tie her hair up!
"Not good!" Zhong Jiu's expression changed drastically.
...
When Mu Run woke up, she found herself in a stone house that resembled a basement. A small stone door in the northwest corner was tightly closed, and a dim oil lamp shone on the wall.
She tried to get up from the ground, but her whole body was limp and she had no strength at all. She tried hard to recall, and her last memory was that when she was riding a donkey cart back to the city, she met a woman on the road. The woman exhaled a breath of black gas and she fainted!
Who is that woman?
She had never seen or known him before.
With a creak, the door slowly opened, revealing the woman.
She curled her lip in a mocking smile and said, "Awake?"
"Who are you?"
"Guess who I am?"
"...You say you're not human, are you a ghost?" Mu Run tried to circulate his internal energy, but his usually full dantian was now empty, with nothing inside.
"Don't waste your energy. I gave you a Dissipating Power Pill. All your cultivation is gone. Now even a three-year-old child could kill you!"
"Who exactly are you? What grudge do you hold against me?" Mu Run was not alarmed by her words. His tone was calm and composed, but in his heart he was groaning and thought to himself that he was doomed!
"A grudge? Of course there is." The woman suddenly giggled again.
Mu Run felt a chill run down her spine as she stared at her face, recalling her own memories, even those of Xin Lian and Hua Ling.
Suddenly, a wisp of black mist appeared on the woman's face, making her look sinister and unpredictable.
Looking at her face, Mu Run remained calm and said, "Even if you die, you should die knowing why, right?"
