Chapter 257 - 27: Take Action
On a mountain path, a carriage sped swiftly ahead. Beside it, four or five riders followed closely, their expressions tense, glancing around anxiously from time to time.
The mountain road was bumpy, causing the carriage to sway back and forth, yet they dared not stop for even a moment.
Up ahead was the famous narrow passage of Heilong Pool. Passing through the long, narrow gorge would take them out of Heilong Pool’s territory.
"That Lin Yuan is incredibly insidious, hiding so deeply with plans to make a startling revelation. It must be the scheming of the long-browed elder, aiming to boost the Yunyin lineage, truly detestable." As they neared the gorge, their guard slightly relaxed.
Once they exit the gorge, they could change routes to hide their tracks. Even if Lin Yuan were to pursue them, finding their trail would be nearly impossible.
The rider beside them, with a look of envy and hatred, said, "Qi Yu appeared, that lowly boy must be trying to impress the beauty and gain her favor. After all, Senior Sister Qi Yu’s beauty is unrivaled in Baiyan City."
"Cowardly, truly cowardly. That despicable person can fawn over Qi Yu, while we’re fleeing like dogs with their tails between their legs. When we return, we’ll likely become the laughingstock. It’s truly a great humiliation!" Another disciple in a gray robe also spoke in resentment, extremely resentful.
The last person, with a mature appearance, appeared much more alert, cautioning, "Everyone, calm down. Lin Yuan has the ability to crush Senior Brother He Run, which surpasses our level. It’s unwise to still see him with old eyes. If we manage to keep our lives on this trip, we should be thankful that Lin Yuan values beauty more, otherwise even if we survived, we’d be skinned."
As they were discussing, the carriage had already entered the gorge.
Neigh!
However, just as they stepped in, the leading horse suddenly neighed loudly. Its front hooves reared high, and the entire team’s speed sharply decreased.
