A murderous autumn wind gusted through the mountain forest.
No wonder Cui Dongshan had talked about thieves with golden belts.[1]
Heavy emotions weighed on Chen Ping'an's mind. Being surrounded and hunted like this inevitably reminded him of that surprise attack in the mountain forest in Water Combing Nation. The assassins from the Case Purchasing Pagoda and Grandmaster Lin Gushan from Colorful Garment Nation had teamed up in a malicious manner to attack Chen Ping'an.

Chen Ping'an shot a glare at Lu Tai and exclaimed, "You're still pulling tricks like this at such a dangerous time?! Are you seeking death?!"
