Sure enough, relying on others is unreliable.

Chuzheng pushed aside the subordinate holding the umbrella, lightly tapped the ground with her toes, and flew down.

"The Tower Master seems very formidable."

"The Tower Master will definitely win."

"Go, Tower Master!"

Hearing the words behind her, Chuzheng almost turned back to crush them.

With subordinates like these, if Fengman Building doesn’t decline, who will?

It’s not the fault of this group, actually many people had left Fengman Building. Those were the pillars, and those who stayed, claiming to have a connection with Fengman Building, are simply incapable. Even if they left, they might not be better off than they are here.

Chuzheng moved too quickly; before the people over there could react, one person had already fallen.

A scream pierced through the rainy night, sounding particularly mournful.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh—

The shadows of the trees swayed like monsters growing wildly in the Black Night, baring their fangs and claws, showing off their bodies.

Cold weapons sliced through the strings of rain, the cold light flickered in the woods, weapons clashed, and the clanging was incessant.

Crash—

Someone crashed into a tree trunk, and the rain droplets accumulated on the tree crown fell on him, bringing the chill of early autumn, seeping into the body.

They couldn’t fathom Chuzheng’s movements at all.

Just moments ago she was there, and in a flash, she was on the other side.

Finally, on the field, aside from the one being besieged, only two could still stand.

At this moment, they were back-to-back, nervously watching the surroundings, rain falling around them as if time slowed down, they could clearly hear each other’s breaths.

Is that woman a demon?

So many of them couldn’t be a match for her alone.

Whoosh—

One of them had a slight movement in his ear and instinctively raised his hand to block.

The web of the hand felt a sharp pain, but strangely enough, he didn’t see what it was, and in the next second, his pupils were filled with silver light.

Under the silver light, the man stared in disbelief, slowly lowering his head.

A sharp blade at his chest dripped blood as it pointed downward.

As the blade slowly withdrew, the man’s body slumped to the ground, his eyes filled with the shocked and frightened face of his companion.

"Run..."

He weakly opened his mouth, but no sound came, only the sound of rain in his ears, his vision gradually blurred, finally sinking into Dark.

-

The last person, seeing things were not in his favor, swiftly darted into the Dark, disappearing into the rain-soaked forest in a flash.

Chuzheng retrieved Yin Xian, her gaze landing on the man using a knife for support.

"Where is the person?"

The man’s body swayed and he fell headlong.

Chuzheng: "..."

Damn it!

Don’t you die!!

Chuzheng went over, grabbed the person’s collar, and asked fiercely, "Answer me before you die, where is the person?"

The people of Fengman Building surrounded them in a rush.

Under the light, the man’s appearance could only be considered handsome, his face pale, eyes closed, his chest still heaving, proving he was still alive...

"Wake him up."

Ah Mu stepped forward to check and said, "Tower Master, he seems like he’s not going to make it."

"..."

Chuzheng stood silently, the surroundings suddenly plunged into an eerie silence, rain pattered on the leaves, softly whispering.

Chuzheng’s gaze swept over the person on the ground, the look in her eyes made Fengman Building’s people a bit anxious.

The girl’s crisp voice slowly sounded, "Dig a hole and bury him."

"Huh?" They were surprised, "But Tower Master, he’s not dead yet."

"Isn’t he almost dead?" Chuzheng stated matter-of-factly, "We’re doing a good deed, preventing him from being exposed to the wilderness and scavenged by animals."

The group: "..."

Seems reasonable.

The Tower Master is always right!

Soon someone went to the back of the carriage and fetched a shovel... Hmm? Why did they carry such a thing?!

The sound of a shovel scooping the soil was particularly harsh.

The pit was quickly dug, Ah Mu and another person went forward and lifted the man, tossing him towards the pit.

"It’s for your own good, you’re going to die anyway, being in a pit is better than being eaten by animals, don’t come back to haunt us."

The man they carried suddenly coughed.

Ah Mu jumped in fright, turned his head and shouted to Chuzheng, "Tower Master, he’s awake."

Man: "..."

If he didn’t wake up, he’d be buried.

He didn’t expect the girl’s cold order to come from over there: "Throw him in."

"Got it."

Ah Mu and his companion let go of their grip.

The man dropped directly into the pit, covered in mud.

The man struggled to turn over, a light swayed in his blurry vision as the girl slowly walked over, looking down at him.

"Not pretending anymore?"

Man: "..."

Who the hell knew you’d be so ruthless, to bury directly.

"How did you know I was pretending?"

Chuzheng: "Now I know."

"..."

The man choked, so... earlier, she really intended to do a good deed by burying him?

"Where is the person?"

The man wiped his face and asked cautiously, "Who are you? Why are you looking for him?"

Chuzheng directed Ah Mu, "Bury."

Ah Mu began to fill soil in immediately.

The mixture of rain and mud really was life-draining.

Seeing that he was already buried up to his waist, the man gritted his teeth, "I’ll take you!"

"I just need you to tell me where it is."

"You wouldn’t find it even if I told you." The man panted, "Either take me, or just bury me right here."

Chuzheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, she and the man stared silently at each other for a moment, then Chuzheng waved for them to pull him up.

-

The rainy mountain road was slippery and hard to walk, and there were obstructive shrubs and vines as a group of people walked towards the depths of the mountain woods.

The man was carried by someone, he looked at the silhouette ahead, and after a while asked the person carrying him, "Who are you guys?"

Appearing here in the middle of the night...

"Fengman Building..."

The person hadn’t finished speaking when Ah Mu interrupted.

"Fengman Building?" The man’s tone was surprised, "You’re from Fengman Building? Cough cough cough..."

Perhaps speaking too hastily, the man started coughing intensely.

Nobody answered his question.

"Is the person ahead your Tower Master?"

Still, no one responded.

He had just heard them call her Tower Master... the current Tower Master of Fengman Building seemed to be... Fong Chuzheng.

Feng Hanyuan’s daughter.

Fengman Building... Fengman Building...

The man didn’t know what he was thinking, and he didn’t speak again.

Following his directions, they had reached the top of Wugu Mountain, ahead lay the cliff.

Chuzheng: "..."

Are you messing with me!

"Down there..." The man pointed to the cliff, "There’s a cave, Young Master Man Yue is inside."

Chuzheng stared at the man.

"I’m telling the truth." The man knew Chuzheng was suspicious of him.

"Wait here." Chuzheng’s cold voice reached the man’s ears, "If he tries to run, just kill him."

Man: "..."

The people of Fengman Building hadn’t responded yet when Chuzheng had already leapt off the cliff, disappearing in front of them.

The group of subordinates looked worried.

"The Tower Master will be alright, right?"

"Her lightness skill doesn’t seem that great..."

"Don’t overthink, the Tower Master just dealt with those people alone, she’s definitely formidable."

"Right, right!!"

"Hey, wasn’t the plan to find Young Master Xi Nan? Why are we now looking for Man Yue?"

"Who is Man Yue anyway?" someone asked a critical question.

Man: "..."
