Chapter 330.2: Ill (1/2)

Although it was already late in the night, the surroundings were still faintly visible. They were halfway down a mountain. There seemed to be a village below, but there were no lights at all.

The other areas were completely silent.

After glancing around briefly, Baili Yu started heading down the mountain.

Jin Yi hastily called out to stop him. “Baili gongzi, please don’t be in such a rush. Just wait a little longer, they’ll be here soon.”

Baili Yu didn’t seem to hear him and just increased his speed. He soon walked far away.

Jin Yi was troubled and anxious. Where were the people that was supposed to meet them?

He was worried about being too loud so he had no choice but to leave the passage and run after Baili Yu.

“Baili gongzi, Baili gongzi…”

He quietly called in an attempt to stop Baili Yu.

However, Baili Yu didn’t even bother to glance at him and continued walking forward while carrying Tang Doudou. His expression was faintly visible. He looked very tense as if there was great danger behind him that was forcing him to walk forward as fast as he could.

Jin Yi was also aware by now that things had fallen out of Gu Xun’s control. If he turned back, he might lose track of Baili Yu’s whereabouts, but if he didn’t go back, Gu Xun wouldn’t know what had happened. What should he do?

As Jin Yi hesitated, Baili Yu got even further away. Jin Yi glanced at Baili Yu, then decided to head back first.

Baili Yu and Tang Doudou were not ordinary people, so Gu Xun had already predicted that they had made other arrangements. The looks of things now seemed to support that conjecture, so he had to hurry and let Master know of this news. If he took too long, it may be too late to salvage the situation.

When he reached this conclusion, he turned back to rush towards the passage but abruptly stopped when he saw a large number of people dressed in black move into the passage.

He hastily hid himself in the underbrush. Who were these people?

Just as that thought surfaced in his mind, one of the black-robed people abruptly turned around and stared in the direction he was hiding. The person then started walking in his direction.

Jin Yi was stunned. His ability to conceal himself wasn’t bad, and he was so far away as well. How had this person sensed him?

Jin Yi’s heart started pounding nervously as that person got closer.

Just when the black robed person was so close that he was almost within reach, Jin Yi suddenly felt a tug on his back, then he was dragged backwards.

He didn’t resist because he already saw the person that was pulling him.
