In the two horse carriages, Xiao Chan and the Old Monk simultaneously lifted the curtains, extended their hands, and pulled the carriage-driving Monk Shan Ci and Manager Qiao into the carriage, taking control of the reins once again.
Rabbit and Smiling Face also drew their swords and climbed out to escort the two who were driving the carriages.
At this moment, Bai Sasa was fearless. She pulled out a slingshot and kept looking back through the gaps in the back wall of the horse carriage, ready to take a sneaky shot at the pursuers at any time.
Bai Lingyu likewise followed suit.
In the carriage with them were Lady Lin and two children, who also stayed alert like the others.
The other carriage was the same.
The pursuers saw the horse carriages speeding away without paying any attention to them and immediately realized that something was amiss.
As they spurred their horses to chase wildly, they also drew out their bows and arrows, preparing to attack the carriage. Arrow feathers mercilessly flew towards the front carriage, when suddenly, a dark shadow burst out from under the carriage, blocking all the arrows at lightning speed.
The pursuers were shocked, not expecting someone to be under the carriage.
The man, his face covered, wielded a black sword with mesmerizing skill, leaving everyone stunned.
Isn’t this the criminal from the reward posters left by their master?
The Guard immediately blew a whistle, and thus, five hundred strong men at the Mountain Fork alertly emerged from various places.
Ah Dao knew that a battle with them was inevitable, and now it all depended on whether Xiao Chan and the Old Monk could quickly lead the others away.
Ah Dao sneered and brandished his sword, pressing the pursuers back.
The fierce Mysterious Dipper in his hand exuded a murderous aura, the dozen or so horses were immediately petrified by the Sword Qi.
The Guards, unable to control their horses, dismounted and clashed with Ah Dao.
Ah Dao alone held back the pursuers, allowing the horse carriage to escape far away.
However, at the Three-Branch Junction, pursuers surged over like a tide. Sasa couldn’t hold back anymore, she suddenly lifted the curtain and said to Xiao Chan driving outside, "They are swarming out from there, Brother Ah Dao can’t handle so many by himself."
"I’m going to help now." Though Rabbit was young, he was resolute in his decision. As soon as his words fell, he had already jumped off and ran towards the back.
"I’m going too." Seeing Rabbit getting off from the neighboring carriage, Smiling Face also followed in pursuit.
The Old Monk and Xiao Chan responsible for driving the carriage were also extremely anxious.
At that moment, the elder who had just been pulled back into the carriage came out again: "We’ll handle the carriage, you go help."
"Remember, come back safely!"
Shan Ci, being a Scholar Monk and not skilled in Martial Arts, knew that forcing himself to stay would only hinder them, better to leave it to the younger ones.
Manager Qiao originally had profound internal skills, but since the Lifebound Gu was removed, his martial arts were practically gone, now even less capable than Shan Ci. Moreover, if he was recognized by the Fifth Elder, the conflict might intensify even further.
Therefore, the only thing he could do now, like Shan Ci, was to ensure their safety.
As for Lady Lin, she understood her role better; now, all the capable members of the Seven-Person Team were out delaying time.
Those left here were either old or weak, being the only fully capable adult, she must stay and care for these vulnerable ones.
However, at this time, seeing Xiao Chan and the others jumping from the carriage, Bai Sasa also anxiously attempted to jump out.
Lady Lin, quick to react, grabbed her: "Sasa, what are you doing?"
"I’m going to help Brother Ah Dao," Bai Sasa answered decisively.
"You’re crazy," Lady Lin pulled her back, "Although you can use a slingshot, in this battle against an elite force, your slingshot will be nothing but child’s play, equivalent to throwing away your
