CHAPTER 649: CHAPTER 649: ABYSS OF FEAR

Only the words "Liu Bang slays the snake" were uttered from my mouth.

Inside my belly, Little Dumpling, as if encountering something extremely terrifying, curled up into a ball, shivering and uncontrollably crying.

Despite my efforts to soothe my belly, trying to calm the frightened Dumpling,

it was...

to no avail!

He seemed trapped in his own world, enveloped and surrounded by a terrifying gloom.

"Liu Bang slays the snake, specially cures snakes. It seems... like it’s targeting you, right, dear disciple?" Zhang Zidao had relaxed his mind after I initially dissuaded him, but now he began to doubt again.

The Great Grandmaster was not omnipotent, though he was tough and resolute.

But faced with a being a million times stronger than himself, one possessing the force of thunder,

it would be like crushing us two just as easily as crushing ants.

How could he not be distressed?

I furrowed my brow, "Although being discovered this way seems illogical, it now appears... that we really are out of luck, Master. In a moment, I’ll cause some chaos, and you seize the chance to slip away."

At this moment, I actually felt somewhat relieved that Yu Longting wasn’t here.

Being anywhere but here, still breathing, was better than awaiting an unknown death.

"If the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Poisons comes out, where can I escape to? You tell me!" Zhang Zidao said angrily, his eyes bulging like a goldfish.

Though his words were spoken in frustration, they weren’t without reason.

A real Immortal slaughtering us two would be no different from crushing two ants.

Running to the ends of the earth would be useless!

I pressed my lips together, a sense of boundless despair arising within me.

The palm of my hand was clenched tight, all sweaty.

Below the car were continuous shouts.

About a dozen people attempted to cooperate to move the statue of Liu Bang slaying the snake.

Those people, in the falling corpse water, collapsed one after another.

The people on the car became unsettled, their faces changing colors as they wanted to go down and check.

Just then, within a green curtain of rain not far away,

three figures in black cloaks approached. They moved like ghosts, stepping lightly, and boarded the car.

A woman sitting in the front row, frightened, asked, "Who are you people? Why are you dressed so strangely?"

"Is there someone called Su Wan on the bus?" The leader, a man with a pallid complexion, looked deathly pale.

He had been soaked in corpse water for so long, yet it seemed to affect him not at all.

A chilling silence fell inside the vehicle.

Everyone seemed frozen, no one uttered a sound.

The man grew impatient and furrowed his brow, "Damn it, are you all fucking dead? No reaction. If you don’t respond now, we will send you to your deaths for real."

"No, no, my name isn’t Su Wan,"

"I’m not called that either!"

"Um, this bus has real-name ticket purchasing, there’s a... registrar up front."

The three people found the registrar and flipped through it, not finding the name Su Wan.

The leader, the man with the pale skin, stuffed a cigarette into his mouth and handed two photographs to his subordinates, "This is what Su Wan looks like. All of you fucking look carefully. If she successfully gets to Tianying Village, we’re all going to lose our heads, hear me!"

"Yes, Junior Protector sir." That man was just a minor leader, so he was only a Junior Protector.

The two underlings took the photos and started comparing them with each passenger.

My head suddenly ached, and I rubbed my temples.

This... Ten Thousand Poison Hall is so well-informed...

They even know about my trip to Tianying Village for treatment?

And they are stopping me from going?

Do they want me to die of Blood-weeping Syndrome?

No, that’s not right. If the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Poisons is an Immortal, killing me would take an instant.

Why use such an asinine tactic?

Just as I was utterly perplexed, an excited voice called out, "Junior Protector, come quick! This woman, like Su Wan, is heavily pregnant, her face is hidden and head is lowered! Her movements are highly suspicious!"

"Sneaky and evasive, that must be her. Woman, lift your head up," Junior Protector commanded.
