Gu Jinzhu trembled as she turned her head to see Gu Yingqing putting away the longbow. He pursed his lips tightly, his expression extremely cold. His black eyes were like a deep pond of cold water and there was an unprecedented murderous aura about him.

Her heart was beating very fast and she was panicking to the extreme. Mu Jing had somehow reached her and grabbed her by the waist as she shouted, ”Let's go!”

She was muddleheaded as he led her forward. The surrounding people were in a mess as they cried out in alarm. Only then did she see a lot of men in black robes coming out of nowhere.

The crowd fled in all directions while screaming. The cold blade light was right in front of them. She could barely see how Gu Yiqing had done it. All she knew was that the man in black had fallen without exception.

Her legs were so weak that if not for Gu Yiqing holding her hand, she would have fallen to the ground long ago.

She stumbled over him, her hair falling out, her eyes red.

She suddenly thought of something and turned around to look at the carriage. She saw that the bloodstained clothes were tightly protecting Yun Xiang and Bi Yao. She was slightly relieved as she saw that the black-clothed people were coming towards them.

Although the man in black had suffered a great number of casualties, he was not afraid of death. He was vicious to the extreme.

Gu Yiqing's face was solemn. She suddenly jumped up with her in her arms, jumped up from the collapsed buildings, and ran out of the city.

The black-clothed man pursued her relentlessly. Gu Jinzhu was extremely afraid. Her heart was beating so fiercely that it seemed like it was going to jump out of her mouth. She tightly shut her eyes, not daring to look again.

After an unknown amount of time, there was no sound from her surroundings. She opened her eyes and realized that she was already in the middle of a dense forest. She did not know where she was.

Gu Yiqing had put her into a bush, but those black-clothed people were already nowhere to be seen. He looked around and said to her, ”Wait here, don't run around!”

Gu Jinzhu looked at the blood stains on his body, which added to the malevolence of his handsome face. She couldn't help but nod as she watched him leave.

The surroundings were quiet. Birds were chirping and the leaves on top of their heads were intertwined. There was only light coming from them. The ground was slippery and muddy. There was a smell of rotting leaves.

She clutched at her chest, feeling her heart beating wildly. She was extremely afraid, and the way they had died just now had been reflected in her mind, causing her body to tremble uncontrollably.

Gu Jinzhu was just a young miss who never stepped out of her room. When had she ever seen such a scene? For a moment, she was greatly provoked. Her head and face were still smeared with blood.

She was worried and scared at the same time. After who knows how long, the forest gradually became dark. Gu Yiqing still hadn't come back. She squatted down so hard that her legs were numb, but she didn't dare move a step.

Seeing the light getting dimmer and dimmer, and the shadows of the trees in the dense forest, her heart rose to her throat. She was worried and worried to the extreme. She didn't know what had happened to Yun Xiang and the others.

She slightly moved her numb legs. Just as she was hesitating whether she should go find him, she heard a sound in front of her. She was startled. Through the gaps in the grass, she saw a few masked men in black walking towards them.

She was frightened out of her wits. She held her breath tightly, not daring to make the slightest sound. She was afraid that they would see it. In just a breath's time, cold sweat had soaked her clothes.

Seeing that the black-clothed people were getting closer and closer, her body trembled like a sieve. She was wondering if she was going to die here. A hand came around from behind and covered her lips.
