Gu Chaoyan suggested that he should stay quiet.

Then she leaned down to the ground and listened. There was the sound of footsteps, orderly too. The sound was so light and only audible to Gu Chaoyan, who had been drinking magical water for a long while. She had been more sensitive than normal people, and she had become even more sensitive.

Gu Chaoyan could also hear clearly the sound of footsteps, which was very far away.

Chu Tian and the other guards tried to prick up their ears, but they could catch no sound. They looked at Gu Chaoyan confusedly.

Gu Chaoyan was more or less sure what was going on. She said with a small voice, “Here they come.”

“…”

“They are a bit far from us, but I can tell that there are many of them. And the person who controls the things is coming too. They are in an order, and are walking properly.”

When Gu Chaoyan said this, she glanced around where she was.

Prime Minister Chu’s men took up most of the space, and it was positioned at the foot of the mountain. They were shielding the villagers, who were behind them. Those monsters needed to go through them before entering Li Village.

It seemed that they were coming at Prime Minister Chu’s men, but they were very well prepared here.

So there should not be any big accidents.

When Chu Tian and the other guards heard that, their faces stiffened, but they were not frightened and didn’t become sloppy. Instead, they were trying to keep calm.

Prime Minister Chu, in particular, was passing on orders according to the original plan.

Gu Chaoyan threw a look at the guards next to them and said, “You can follow your plan, and I have Sword One with me. If you all come with me, we will be a bigger target for them to attack.”

Having said this, Gu Chaoyan left with Sword One without Prime Minister Chu’s arrangement.

It was getting very late now. Soon evening would come.

That was a very tricky situation for both sides.

Gu Chaoyan, on the other hand, thought that they were in a better position. It was late, so she could take a closer look at what was going on. She was not interested in catching those monsters. She aimed at catching the controller! She would like to see who on earth had invented and controlled those things.

Gu Chaoyan had been an assassin in her previous life, so she had a very sharp sense. She instantly picked the right place to hide, a place that even Sword One could not pick on.

The day became darker.

The monsters were truly on the way. Gu Chaoyan could even hear their footsteps.

She closed her eyes and tried to locate the place where they were heading through the sound.

“Sword One, you should go and help them, at the third tent from here.” Gu Chaoyan ordered, when she heard a sound.

“But Elder Miss!” Sword One was willing to offer help, but her mission was to protect Elder Miss, who was more important than anything else.

Gu Chaoyan threw a sharp look at her.

So Sword One had no choice, but to offer help.

Sword One was good at martial arts. She could fly and ambush. With her help, the whole thing went smoothly and fewer people got injured.

It took them almost two hours before they finished the battle.

There were around twenty people who were injured and three of Prime Minister Chu’s men died, when the battle ended.

Sword One decided to find Gu Chaoyan directly, after the battle ended.

She hurried to the place where Gu Chaoyan had been hiding, but Elder Miss was not there!

Sword One’s face turned pale. “Elder Miss!”

Prime Minister Chu, who heard the sound, came with his men too, but no one was within sight at this spot.

“Elder Miss is gone!” Sword One shouted, panicking.
