An assassin? Call me the Master of Raising Prices!

The rain was still pouring down, and water droplets were falling. Liu Zhiyuan had to lower his hat to see clearly. He looked up and saw that it was pitch black in front of him. He could not see any light, not to mention the town. He could not even see the village or the ruined temple.

"Brother, we have been running for almost a whole night. If we continue walking, we will be exhausted..."

"Put your heart in your stomach. A martial artist who has entered the rank is not that fragile!" Zhuque said unhappily, holding up his true energy to block the rain.

Zhao Jueze did not speak at the first time. He looked around leisurely and shook his head and said, "This place is not good. We can't stop here."

After that, he turned around and asked Baihu, "How far are we from the nearest prefecture?"

"It's not far from Luzhou. It's estimated to be only two or three hundred miles." Baihu calculated silently and said uncertainly.

"Not far, let's go to Luzhou." Zhao Jue said decisively.

"Let's go!"

No matter whether Liu Zhiyuan was willing or not, he took up his arms without saying anything and raised his head to signal Baihu. The two of them were on the left and the right, with their true energy spreading out. They took a long breath, and jumped up with the help of their toes.

As planned before, Qinglong was in front, Zhao Jue and Baihu held Liu Zhiyuan in the middle, and Zhuque was behind. They slightly adjusted the direction and rushed towards Luzhou City.

After the five people left, Liu Huanxiao's figure gradually appeared in the darkness. He wore a bamboo hat, and there was no true energy fluctuation on his body. He looked straight in the direction of Luzhou.

He sighed and said, "You guys, can't you go straight? You have to turn left and right. Isn't this tormenting an old man like me?"

"Alas, there is no way."

Although the words were a little helpless, he still set off and followed the five people, keeping a distance from them.

The rain fell all night, and there was no sign of stopping. Zhao and his five companions hurried forward in the rain. Zhuque, who fell behind, paused, frowned slightly, and couldn't help looking back.

In the dark rain, she always felt that someone was following her, but whether she looked with her naked eyes or sensed with her true qi, she could not detect any movement.

She was worried, so after walking a few steps forward, she stopped and turned back.

After carefully patrolling for a few rounds, she found nothing, not to mention human traces, even no living creatures.

"Is it an illusion?" Zhuque frowned, with a heavy face.

After scanning left and right again, there was still nothing. She was inevitably disappointed. Her intuition had always been good, so why did she make a mistake this time?

"It should be because my nerves were too tense tonight..." She murmured to comfort herself.

On a big tree a few dozen steps behind him, Liu Huanxiao tightened his body and stuck to the trunk tightly, and couldn't help sighing in his heart: As expected of Jinyiwei, this kind of vigilance must not be wild.

He jumped down the tree after Zhuque walked away. He did not follow him immediately, but stood there waiting.

"Let's keep a distance, so as not to be exposed."

After a few ups and downs, Zhuque caught up with the five people and landed beside Zhao Jue. He said uncertainly: "Old Nine, I suspect there is someone behind me, but I have patrolled a few times and I have not found it."

Hmm? Zhao Jue looked at Zhuque sideways. Seeing that she was serious and did not seem to be joking, he became more alert and slowly probed behind him with his true energy.

There was no one behind him in his perception.

He was also a little confused when he saw this situation. Of course, he did not suspect that Zhuque's information was wrong, but was surprised. He had just experienced a fight, and Liu Zhiyuan admitted that he had exposed his tracks. It would be abnormal to have a pursuer behind him!

Could it be that it was just like outside Chuzhou City, just surveillance, and someone else was the one who killed him?

Zhao Jue had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and it was very chaotic. But this place was in the middle of nowhere, and the risk of stopping was too great. He did not dare and was unwilling to take this risk.

Besides, there is a grandmaster behind them. Although they don't know if they are friends or enemies, they can't run away even if they want to!

Can't stop, at least not for now!

Looking up a few times in the distance, Zhao gritted his teeth and made up his mind, "Go and tell Qinglong to speed up. We can't stop here. We have to get to Luzhou as soon as possible!"

"Okay." Zhuque nodded and rushed forward past the three people.

Turning to look at Liu Zhiyuan, Zhao asked curiously: "Did you leave a signal?"

"It's not in time yet." Liu Zhiyuan shook his head.

"Okay."

Getting his negative answer, Zhao was even more confused. Now the situation behind him is unclear, the only thing he can do is to move forward as much as possible.

So Zhao no longer cared about whether there was anyone behind him, and simply told Baihu: "We have to hurry up and wait for two days in Luzhou to have a good rest."

"I can do it, but you..." Baihu hesitated.

Regaining strength for a night, waiting for this emergency moment. Zhao Jue didn't mind at all, and nodded, "I'll try my best to keep up, but I'll trouble you to take care of me."

"No big deal."

The two of them carried Liu Zhiyuan, raised their true energy, and rushed forward in unison.

After no longer paying attention to the situation behind them, the three of them sped up a lot, and only a shadow could be seen passing in the rain.

After more than two hours of continuous travel, they could only vaguely see the Luzhou city wall. The three of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and Zhao Jue even took a few deep breaths, and his tension was somewhat relieved.

It must be said that there is still a big gap between the first rank and the junior master. In order to catch up with the speed of the White Tiger, Zhao Jue didn't dare to relax at all. To put it bluntly, he didn't even dare to breathe too much, for fear of not being able to keep up with the White Tiger's pace.

Even so, he was still tired and flushed.

On the other hand, the White Tiger had a relaxed pace and a steady breath, and was extremely calm. From time to time, he could slow down a little to take care of Zhao Jue.

"Oh, what a difference in cultivation! You should handle it alone in the future. I really don't have enough ability."

Baihu just laughed and nodded in response: "It's nothing. It's not a big deal."

Qinglong and Zhuque in front also laughed and whispered: "Let's go into the city first."

"Okay." Zhao Youjue went down the steps and followed behind in two steps.

The five people braved the rain and passed the city wall and landed on the street. Just the moment they landed, Zhao Youjue keenly perceived that something was wrong: there were not many lanterns under the eaves.

He hurriedly asked the four people to stop, pointed to the left and right of the street, and reminded softly: "Look, why are there so few lanterns under the eaves?"

"Well, it's already late at night, it's understandable that the lanterns are extinguished." Qinglong didn't think there was anything wrong. It's just that there are fewer lanterns, it's not a big deal, and it's already midnight now, it's abnormal to have too many lanterns.

"This is still in the territory of Jiangnan!" Zhao Youjue couldn't help but remind him.

"What's wrong with Jiangnan?" Qinglong was still puzzled.

Seeing that his explanation was not working, Zhao said nothing more and walked towards the restaurant not far away with his hands behind his back.

As he walked forward, he kept his eyes on the surroundings, not daring to miss any movement. He did not slowly withdraw his gaze until he entered the restaurant, but the vigilance in his eyes was still there.
