The moment Ding Zihu sensed something trigger the array he had laid at the entrance to the woods, he hesitated briefly, then immediately fled.

He didn’t even bother to verify if it was a person who had triggered his array.

It could have just been some wild animals hunting in the night that had accidentally triggered the array.

And even if it was a person, it might have just been a traveler passing by.

All in all, there were too many possibilities.

But Ding Zihu knew he only had one life.

Besides, his intuition was screaming that his pursuers had found him.

「Not long after.」

Several masked figures in Conical Hats burst out of the woods.

They moved with the agility of cheetahs; one look was enough to tell they were far from ordinary.

Upon seeing the campfire and bones on the ground, they immediately grew wary. They searched the area carefully, but found nothing.

”The campfire is still warm... That bastard can’t have gotten far!”

a masked figure said coldly.

”Number Two, see if you can still track his scent!”

The masked leader remained calm.

Upon hearing this, the masked man who had spoken first quickly sniffed the air. He pointed in the direction Ding Zihu had fled. ”I’ve got his scent. He must have gone that way.”

”After him!” the masked leader ordered.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH~~

The men transformed into black blurs, streaking forward.

Beyond the small woods lay a flat, official road.

They pursued him for about the time it takes an incense stick to burn.

Sure enough, the masked leader spotted a figure in the shadows ahead, fleeing in a panic.

”Ding Zihu! You can’t escape! Hand over the Black Phoenix Pearl now!”

the masked leader threatened.

Hearing the voice, Ding Zihu cast several more speed-enhancing Magic Techniques, his figure shooting forward like a gale.

Seeing this, the masked men hastily erupted with their Gang Qi, accelerating in pursuit.

Thus began a life-or-death chase between them on the pitch-black road.

Ding Zihu knew that capture meant death, so he ran for his life.

Unfortunately, in terms of stamina, he was no match for these Martial Artists.

Even with the aid of numerous Magic Techniques, his stamina was failing, and they were steadily gaining on him.

Still, Ding Zihu could only grit his teeth and keep running.

’Heavens, you can’t have lied to me!’

’You promised a glimmer of hope to the south.’

Ding Zihu prayed inwardly.

The next moment,

he froze.

The road ahead had suddenly split in two.

In other words, two paths now lay before Ding Zihu.

To the left was a small path, likely leading deep into the dark old woods.

The other continued straight on.

From the standpoint of an escape, the path on the left was obviously the better choice.

After all, escaping into more complex and treacherous terrain would make it easier to evade his pursuers.

But for Ding Zihu, taking the left path meant deviating from his calculated route.

This went completely against his previous calculations.

But the appearance of this path made him waver.

His pursuers were closing in. If he kept going straight and his luck didn’t change, capture was certain.

But if he took the dark path to the left and plunged into the forest, he might just escape.

’Perhaps this small path is my true glimmer of hope.’

Ding Zihu knew he couldn’t hesitate.

Gritting his teeth, he chose to trust his calculations. He ignored the path on the left and kept running straight ahead.

This, however, baffled the pursuing masked leader.

If it had been him, he wouldn’t have hesitated for a second before taking the left path.

He hadn’t expected Ding Zihu to be so stupid as to continue straight.

’What a moron.’

’He deserves to die by my blade!’

The masked leader sneered and led his men onward.

「A few miles later.」

The gap between them had shrunk to less than ten meters.

Ding Zihu could feel the surging malice from behind, and his expression grew even more panicked.

’Could it be... I chose wrong?’

FWOOSH!

Just then,

one of the masked men chasing Ding Zihu suddenly stopped, took the large bow from his back, and fired an arrow.

The arrow was incredibly vicious. It let out a piercing shriek as it crossed a dozen meters in an instant.

Hearing the whistle, Ding Zihu desperately rolled aside to dodge.

The arrow missed its mark, flying harmlessly past.

But as Ding Zihu scrambled to his feet, he found himself surrounded by the masked men.

”Ding Zihu... there’s no escape for you now.”

”Hand over the Black Phoenix Pearl. Now.”

the masked leader said, his voice cold.

”How many times do I have to tell you... I don’t even know what the Black Phoenix Pearl is!”

”Why are you hounding me so relentlessly!”

Ding Zihu said in exasperation.

”Hmph. You were the first one to find Nirvana Cliff.”

”Who else could it have been but you?”

the masked leader barked.

”I went to Nirvana Cliff, but there was nothing there.”

”I swear!”

Cornered, Ding Zihu raised his hands.

”I see you won’t give up until you’re staring death in the face.”

The masked leader had no desire to waste any more words on Ding Zihu.

Seeing the masked men closing in, Ding Zihu grew tense.

He knew these men were masters of the True Qi Realm. As a mere Abnormal Person in the Three Soul Realm, he was no match for them.

’It’s over... It seems my calculations were wrong this time.’

Ding Zihu racked his brain but could think of no way out. Despair began to cloud his eyes.
