Chapter 168 Book 4 Failed Trap
Long Hai crouched beside the unconscious woman, his sharp gaze scanning the lifeless bodies sprawled on the cold dirt road. He decided to secretly leave the group and track the three assassins that escaped. He suspected something about them and he wanted answers. Since Yong Ji is not here, he has to do this on his own.
