"Young Master, that kid looks like he's leaving the city."
A lackey beside Cao Meng spoke up.
"Leaving the city? Perfect. There aren't as many rules outside the city. We'll kill that kid out there. I am determined to get that Treasure Sword!" A vicious look crossed Cao Meng's face.
"But that kid is a Third-level Martial Artist, too. He's no pushover."
"What's there to be afraid of? The brothers Cao Jin and Cao Yin are also Third-level Martial Artists. Two against one, plus the two of us. You think we can't take care of some lucky bastard? Let's go. Follow him."
Cao Meng clearly had no such worries. He took his ever-present lackey and two Third-level Martial Artists and followed Chu Qingyun from behind, all the way out of the city.
After leaving the city, Chu Qingyun walked for a while longer and soon arrived at the edge of the Mist Forest.
