Miscalculation

"The people from Flowing Cloud Dao Sect, they... they disappeared?"

"Yeah, it seems like some powerful figure intervened and saved us."

The mercenaries stared blankly at the vanished disciples of the Flowing Cloud Dao Sect, as if they had never appeared. The ones who were threatening to kill them just moments ago had now vanished before their eyes.

"That's enough, we can't linger here any longer. Let's leave quickly!"

The first to regain his composure was a mercenary in the Transcendence Realm. He spoke with a terrified expression, urging everyone to depart.

The others snapped out of their shock, hastily picking up their unconscious captain and hurriedly leaving the territory of the magical beast-infested forest. Even though they didn't know who had saved them, staying in the forest was no longer an option. The ruthless and overbearing Flowing Cloud Dao Sect could easily massacre the entire area just to cover up their tracks.
