Chapter 367: 201: Self-Rescue! The Kiss of Ashi Liren!_2

"So, just hand him over to the employer and let him do the killing himself," the assassin leader said, "but in that case, the price will be reduced by thirty thousand. The three of you will get nothing for your trouble, and from now on, you are no longer welcome in the Underworld Society."

Batu said, "That can’t be helped."

Afterward, Suo Lun was thrown into a black prison cart, with all his muscles and veins locked down, rendering him completely immobile, even unable to shout as his mouth was sealed.

Then, the assassin leader took out a bottle of liquid and poured it over Gao Ningshi and dozens of other expert guards; soon, those bodies gradually dissolved into pus.

"Move out!" Thirteen Underworld Society killers, escorting Suo Lun’s black prison cart, headed towards the northwest.

...

The path the thirteen Underworld Society assassins took was extremely secretive, even more desolate and uninhabited.

After traveling three hundred li, all thirteen changed their clothes and now appeared no different from ordinary people.

Suo Lun stayed inside the cart, as Yao Xing tirelessly pounded at the bindings on all his muscles and veins.

However, the person who had locked down his veins had such high martial skills that even after several hours, Yao Xing had failed to break through.

Moreover, inside the black cart, Suo Lun had no idea where the Underworld Society assassins were taking him, only that they seemed not to be headed towards Wangcheng Zidu, but in a northwest direction instead.

As they traveled further west, signs of human habitation gradually appeared and several groups of people were encountered on the road.

However, at this time, the thirteen assassins were dressed as ordinary civilians, with nothing particular to note.

Suo Lun’s muscles and veins were still locked, and he was still unable to call for help, but even if he could, it would be useless, for these were thirteen Dragon Samurai.

Who in the world could be their match?

Just like that, after several more hours, the thirteen Underworld Society assassins had already traveled six hundred li with Suo Lun in their charge.

It was at this moment that Suo Lun’s bindings were finally broken. But a severe problem arose—he felt as though an unspeakable type of rope bound him all over. Despite his mid-level Samurai skills, he couldn’t break free, and his mouth was still securely tied.

So, even though the bindings had been broken, he still couldn’t move or shout for help.

It was at that moment...

Suddenly, Suo Lun felt a hint of coolness in the air.

Then, an enchanting and familiar scent entered his nostrils.

This fragrance was so mysterious and profound that one could hardly forget it after smelling it once.

It was Ashi Liren; he had not expected to encounter her here.

Clearly, the thirteen assassins from the Underworld Society also felt her presence and stopped as if facing a formidable opponent.

Then came the sound of horse hooves, unhurried and steady.

Peering through the slits of the cart, Suo Lun saw a figure with a beauty that could overthrow states and cities, as if a celestial being—it was indeed Ashi Liren.

She rode by on a white steed, passing alone along the road.

Unable to utter a sound, Suo Lun tried to gather his spiritual power, flinging it towards Ashi Liren, "Save me!"

This distant projection of spiritual power was extremely faint.

But Ashi Liren’s spiritual power was so strong that she easily sensed Suo Lun’s psychic cry, her gaze quickly turning to look inside the cart, halting in the process.

The head assassin said with a grave expression, "The Underworld Society is handling its business, please go on your way and do not meddle in affairs that don’t concern you."

Ashi Liren stepped forward and gently pulled back the curtain of the cart.

"Swish, swish, swish..." Suddenly, eleven assassins of Dragon Samurai rank or higher from the Underworld Society all drew their weapons, faintly encircling Ashi Liren.

Ashi Liren glanced at Suo Lun inside the cart. Despite being bound up like a rice dumpling, she still recognized him.

But it took her quite a while to do so.

This person, she vaguely remembered seeing him at Sorcerer Manor, and because of the Jiang Xue’s gift of the sword, she had spared his life.

"Where is your sword?" Ashi Liren asked.

She was referring to the Dragon Gold Sword given by Jiang Xue.

"At home," Suo Lun couldn’t say it out loud but could only convey it spiritually.

However, Ashi Liren easily captured his spiritual message.

Then...

She simply let the curtain fall and continued to ride her horse, leaving at an unhurried pace.

Indeed, she left just like that, without any intention of rescuing him.

Suo Lun suddenly felt utterly disheartened, realizing that in Ashi Liren’s eyes, he was indeed as inconsequential as a cat or dog. Being spared by her at Sorcerer Manor was already the greatest blessing.

To expect her to save him now was overestimating his own charm.

Upon seeing Ashi Liren leave, the thirteen assassins let out a long sigh of relief.

Then, they quickened their pace and soon left Ashi Liren far behind.

After racing about ten li, the leader of the assassins stepped forward and struck the back of Suo Lun’s neck, knocking him unconscious to avoid any further trouble.

The group continued their journey.

Up ahead, there appeared to be a village, and people were becoming more numerous.

The thirteen assassins tried to skirt around the village, away from densely populated areas. They were on a narrow field path, where the sides of the road were covered with newly sown wheat.

Because the path was too narrow, the thirteen assassins rode directly across the fields, trampling over the wheat.

Immediately, all the farmers in the wheat fields knelt to one side, trembling, not daring to obstruct them.

The thirteen assassins, as if no one else was there, trampled over the delicate wheat seedlings, charging onward.

"You can’t trample our wheat, or we’ll have nothing to eat," suddenly, a delicate childish voice spoke up.
