    The two spectators pleasurably watched the battle, unaware that a nightmare was about to descend on them.


    “Yes!”


    After acknowledging her order, the ck clouds dashed into the bodies of the men in ck.


    Chu Sihan and Chu Yun stood at their original spot, contemting an escape route. However, they realized that the men in ck had suddenly stopped attacking them.


    Instead, these men in ck tensely turned their bodies and uniformly looked in one direction.


    Then, soon after, they rushed toward that direction like a swarm of bees.


    The two spectators finally realized something was amiss. They were surprised by the change in winds, then they started cursing. They used qinggong to escape the scene.


    “Lor... Lord, what’s going on?”


    Chu Yun asked in a stuttering voice as he watched the situation unfold with a dumbfounded expression.


    Chu Sihan frowned, and elements of confusion appeared in his sharp eyes.


    After a few seconds, he finally spoke in a low voice. “It seems something is controlling them.”


    Upon hearing that, the first thought that came to Chu Yun’s mind was a sinister trick, the infamous puppetry.


    He had only heard it being mentioned by others, and not seen it in practice.


    “Lord, you’re saying that someone has manipted them by the Skill of Puppetry?”


    Chu Sihan shook his head. “I’m not sure yet.”


    Chu Yun took a deep breath. “Regardless, it was a narrow escape for us.”


    He had thought that he would lose his life there.


    In contrast to Chu Yun’s rxedness, Chu Sihan thoughtfully scanned his surroundings as if he was trying to find something.


    Who helped us?


    Why did they help?


    Chu Yun took out a moon pearl and illuminated the surroundings, and it was then that Lu Sheng could see their faces clearly.


    It’s them?


    She raised her brows in shock.


    She had not expected herself to have such an affinity with the two men. She had only lived in this world for two days, yet she had already met them three times.


    One of the young men looked dumb. He was not someone to be feared.


    However, one look at the other, and anyone could tell that he was not a simple man.


    If she continued staying there, she could be discovered soon.


    She turned her body in a bid to leave.


    She had been careless moving, and with the addition of the sudden winds, her invisibility talisman fell off.


    “Who’s there?”


    Chu Yun shouted.


    Lu Sheng shook before she hurried to escape the scene with her qinggong.


    Chu Yun wanted to chase her, but Chu Sihan stopped him.


    “Lord, aren’t we chasing after her?”


    Chu Sihan shook his head. “No need.”


    He felt that the figure looked familiar.


    “Could the sudden departure of the assassins be rted to that person?”


    “Possibly.”


    This person’s presence went unnoticed for such a long time. They must not be simple!


    “Lord, do you think this person is the ck figure we’re after?” Chu Yun asked as he walked.


    “No.”


    The ck figure had a strong physique, whereas this person was skinny.


    Their figure looked like that of a female.


    Suddenly, the image of Lu Sheng’s figure shed across Chu Sihan’s mind.


    If it was indeed her, why did she want to save us?


    And why did she appear here?


    What was she here for?


    The series of doubts gave a headache to Chu Sihan.


    However, he shook his head and smiled.


    “Lord, these bodies...”


    Looking at the mess of bodies, Chu Yun contemted.


    “Don’t worry about them. Someone wille and collect them at night.”


    After speaking, Chu Sihan walked out of the forest.


    Lu Sheng did not leave. She waited till Chu Sihan and Chu Yun had left before she followed them from afar.


    It was only after they had left Liu Yue Vige that she summoned back the ck clouds.


    Then, she yawned and sauntered back home to sleep.
