"Yes, Old Qi said that very few people would leave that place." Lin Mu did not know if Ming Ruofan knew that there was a place like the Confusion Forest, but she really walked out from there. He subconsciously remained silent when he saw her thoughtful frown.

The two didn't stay long at the cliff, they went down the mountain one after the other, and when they returned, they went up the carriage because of the dried wood. When they left, they probably thought that they would sleep out in the open, and when Qian Mu saw that the guards were setting up two tents with the army, he quietly sat on the side of the carriage.

"There is a cliff on this mountain that leads from the col path to Linlang Mountain." Ming Ruofan looked at the figure of Qian Mu jumping onto the carriage, then turned his head and signaled Zhong Li Luo to follow him. As he walked, he told Zhong Li Luo what he had just heard from him.

"Cliff?" Are you sure there's a second way out of the cove? " Zhong Li Luo was momentarily shocked when he heard what Ming Ruo Fan said, and he immediately raised his head to look at him.

"It should be true." Thinking of the scene where he forced the dried wood into a corner, Ming Ruo Fan nodded his head and looked towards the top of the mountain. The dense leaves of the trees were a little yellow, but there were still a few that didn't fall.

"Then do we have to go through the cliff?" If it was just a cliff, then Ming Ruofan would not think like that and would give out an order. But now, he had a serious look as he was trying to tell him that there was a road in front of them, which definitely wouldn't be easy to pass through in the small town. There were too many of them, and even if they entered the city, who knew how serious the plague would be.

"There's a forest in front of the trail. Do you know where the mountain is?" He didn't nod or shake his head, but continued to talk about the topic. Hearing the words "Confusion", Zhongli Luo started to understand why he didn't give the order to move forward.

"There's only a green forest all year round, with towering peaks. People who enter probably won't be able to come out. Is the Confusion Forest at the bottom of the mountain?" Zhong Li gazed into the distance, following the direction of Ming Ruo Fan's eyes. There were a few fallen leaves on the trees, and they seemed to be a little desolate. The emotions in his eyes seemed to become somewhat uncertain.

"En, you go scout the area first. Go and quickly come back." On the battlefield, in the imperial court, there would always be accidents that happened every year when they went to Linlang Town, and this time there would always be trouble, it seemed like the people in the imperial court were already starting to get restless.

"Alright." Zhong Li Luo nodded. His snow-white clothes were fluttering in the autumn wind. He nodded slightly. He elegantly turned around and walked towards the path that Ming Ruo Fan and the rest had taken just now.

"There might be a trap set by a hunter in front of the cliff. Be careful." He turned his head towards the carriage and met the eyes sticking out of the dry wood. The curtain beside the carriage was lifted, and their eyes met; they actually forgot to move the carriage away. When the dry wood came back to its senses, it coughed and quickly retreated back into the carriage.

"Sick?" The person inside the carriage had her palm slapped on her cheek as she whispered to herself. The boiling heat on her face made Qian Mu uncomfortable. This was the first time something like this had happened, so she couldn't help but wonder if the wind was blowing too much cold.

In his mind, he began to recall the path that Old Qi once took him on a journey through the Confusion Forest, little by little. As he was lost in thought, a wisp of a delicate fragrance slipped through his nose again, and if she was surprised the first time, and confused about it the second time, then this time, she suddenly became alert, and opened her eyes in the blink of an eye. In the silent carriage, she was the only one breathing.

This time, she did not make any noise, instead, she tried to get out of the carriage to investigate. Sitting quietly at the side, she unconsciously became vigilant, this person had appeared three times, even though the matter had nothing to do with her, she could not resist the curiosity of human nature. Did he not discover anything? Could it be that what Ming Ruo Fan said was true? I am much more sensitive than those guards with powerful martial arts. I am still just faint … He was only sensitive to the scent of this strange blood osmanthus flower?

Silence counted the number of times he had breathed, again and again, but there was still no sound. Just as Qian Mu was about to stand up and leave, the curtain of the carriage was instantly lifted. It was that person, the black-clothed man whose abdomen was injured. When Qian Mu saw who it was, he froze for a moment and then immediately stood up, relaxing and sitting on the spot.

"Where are they?" Lin Mu didn't look outside, but asked the man sitting opposite him. She didn't feel any hostility, and this was the first time … He was the one who helped him out of Nether King Manor. This person shouldn't be able to do anything to him, right? No matter what, he still had his Qing Gong to defend himself. He might not be able to beat her, but he should be able to dodge her.

"I'm asleep. Last time, you said that you would like me to bring you away from Hades' Manor. Now that I've come to fulfill my promise, are you willing to leave?" The black-clothed man spoke in a low and hoarse voice, causing Qian Mu to be stunned by his words. After which, he turned his gaze onto the black-clothed man.

"Where can you take me?" A few days ago, she only dared to make such a request because she was treated coldly and indifferently and didn't pay any attention to him. She didn't hold much hope for the man in front of her to take her away from such a request, but she didn't expect him to really come, it was just … Even though he didn't know what use it would have for Netherworld Udumbara, it was obviously impossible for him to walk away and fall asleep with that attitude of his. Had he fallen asleep so easily? I should be talking about the guards. What about Zhong Li Luo and Ming Ruo Fan?

"Where do you want to go?" The man in black was silent for a moment, and then changed the topic.

"Linlang Town." This was the place where Ming Ruo Fan and the others were going to, and he didn't have a better choice. After all, he was already here, and it was a pity that he didn't go to check on Old Qi. Besides, he hadn't heard from him for half a year.

"Underworld Fan will find it." The man in black shook his head. It was obvious that he did not agree to take her to Linlang Town. Qian Mu shook his head when he saw his opposition. He bit his lips and sat there without saying a word.

"We can't go there yet, we can't go into the town up ahead, the disease is very serious." The man in black looked at Qian Mu's stubborn eyes and helplessly shook his head.

"Where are Serene Mantra and Zhong Li?" Right now, she was worried that the man in black would talk to her in a calm manner, which was basically a trap inviting a king to step into the trap. When she thought that it was possible that she might be tricked again, she frowned.

"I was lured away by someone." The black clothed man was curious as to why Qian Mu kept asking about the situation outside, but he still answered patiently. Honestly speaking, if she hadn't saved his life at the King's Manor, he wouldn't have sat here talking to her in such an amiable manner. He originally wanted to kidnap the so-called Wise King's wife, but even without her request, he had still come back to take her away.

"Pull it away? This is bad! " Qian Mu stood up abruptly and walked out of the carriage. As expected, the next thing he saw was a neat line of guards, and … It looked like Ming Ruo Fan and Zhong Li were standing in front of them.

"He really is a traitor." The guard beside Zhong Li Luoluo spoke. Qian Mu recognized the difference in his attire as it belonged to the guard he hadn't seen a few days ago. Moreover … It seemed to be a woman wearing men's clothing.

The black clothed man followed behind Qian Mu. Seeing the situation, he finally understood what Qian Mu meant by 'bad'. He frowned as he thought that he had been careless. He already knew that it would not be easy to deal with Ming Ruo Fan after fighting with him a few times.

"It's not a good method to ignite the seven-colored pollen mixed with smog in the woods. At least for people with allergic pollen, it's a very bad method." The seven-colored pollen mixed with the usual colorless and tasteless smoke emitted a smell very similar to that of the trees. Ordinary people would not be aware of it in the forest, but for those who were allergic to pollen, this was a taboo, as long as they ignited it, they would be immediately noticed. While Qian Mu was confused, the man in black suddenly attacked Zhong Li Luo.

Just as she was about to take a step forward, she felt an ice-cold sensation on her neck. When she thought about the person standing beside Zhong Li Luo, she felt a little confused, thinking about how Zhong Li Luo had just called her a traitor, she didn't even know who the man in black was, but she was afraid that she couldn't explain it clearly. The first time was when she ran away in her courtyard, and the second time was when she was suspected by Ming Fan. They spoke in the same carriage space for a while. Even if it really didn't have anything to do with them, it did have something to do with them.

"Hurry up and finish it." Ming Ruofan moved to stand beside Qian Mu, and with a flick of his finger he caught her cold sword from her neck and wrapped his arm around her body. He walked up the mountain and said a few words, and the cold wind whistled by his ears.
