A group of people in black clothes

  As soon as the sky brightened, after bidding farewell to He Qing and the others, at Su Ya's request, Nie Lang and the other two became her guides. Although they had previously looked at her with puzzled eyes, wondering how she could not recognize the road, later they suddenly thought of something and suddenly understood, so they didn't ask any more questions. However, their understanding was unknown to Su Ya.

  Three people were walking in the woods when they suddenly heard a fierce fight coming from up ahead. They exchanged a glance, quickly suppressed their own breathing, and rushed forward to hide behind a clump of grass and peek out.

  When they saw those people wearing black masks and black robes, Nie Lang and Ling'er's expressions simultaneously froze for a moment, then showed slight surprise, and afterwards revealed an exceptionally cautious attitude. Su Ya even saw that in Ling'er's originally clear eyes, there was a hatred towards the group of black-clad people in strange attire that didn't match her lively appearance. What was going on?

  Those black-clad men surrounded a man wearing a bamboo hat, whose face was unclear, and launched a fierce attack. Their moves were vicious and ruthless. Although the man's skills were extraordinary, those black-clad men were not to be underestimated either. With their numerical superiority, they managed to gain the upper hand, making it difficult for the lone man to resist.

  In less than a moment, the man finally slowed down due to exhaustion. A black-clad figure seized the opportunity and hastily sprinkled some powder from his sleeve onto the man's face. A blood-curdling scream was heard, followed by the man immediately covering his face and rolling around on the ground in agony. However, in less than a moment, both his voice and movements came to a stop.

  It seems he's dead, as Su Yao can't see any signs of life from him.

  The leader of the men in black walked forward, grasping the sword in his hand, and lifted up the bamboo hat on the head of the corpse. When he saw the gruesome appearance, he seemed to be extremely disappointed and let out a "tsk" sound from his mouth.

  "It's not him, let's keep looking."

  As soon as the words fell, the leader took out the bottle in his hand and poured it on the corpse. At the same time they all disappeared from the scene, the dead body on the ground also turned into a pool of blood water, handled cleanly and efficiently.

  "Who are they?"

  Only after making sure that the people were no longer in sight, and had definitely left the surrounding area of several hundred miles, did Su Yao emerge from behind the clump of grass. Nie Lang and Ling Er, who followed closely behind her, wore solemn expressions and remained silent.

  She didn't continue to ask, curiously squatting down and picking up a small handful of red powder from the side. Before Nie Lang and others could anxiously advise her to stop, Su Yao had already placed the powder in her hand and gently rubbed it once, then brought it to her nose to smell. Slowly, she detected an unusual odor and couldn't help but furrow her fine eyebrows, a hint of doubt flashing across her eyes. This thing that seemed like bone ash powder, how could it have a faint aura of evil spirit? Was she mistaken?!

  She stood up, clapped her hands and looked down at the bloodstains on the ground. She turned to the man behind her and said indifferently, "Mr. Nie Lang, I advise you to take off the bamboo hat on your head."

  Nie Lang was shocked, but he had already seen that white-clothed girl walking far away.

  "Master brother, she just touched the Qilin powder, how can nothing happen?" Ling'er was very surprised, that was a poison that would turn into the current man's downfall with just one touch.

  Nie Lang didn't speak, throwing away the bamboo hat in his hand, and looked up at the complex figure of her back gradually moving further away under the light. He couldn't help but ponder over the meaning behind her words just now, it seemed like she had figured something out.

  "It's very dangerous here, let's leave quickly."

  After finishing speaking, Nie Lang led Ling'er around the puddle of blood on the ground and continued moving forward.
