Gou Ge, almost immediately regretted his decision and feigned death. His confidence had been so high that he refused to mention the Shadowless Cult, let alone take Ling Yan with him.
Ling Yan tried two or three times, but he remained silent.
However, Mei had already located the Shadowless Cult.
Following Xiao Er's clues, they continued west along the river west of the city. They found a narrow passage between the mountains called Xuanyue Valley, where the Shadowless Cult members were staying.
Ling Yan, sword in hand, threatened Gou Ge as a hostage and, along with his four thugs, slowly moved towards Xuanyue Valley.
He was followed by Xiao Er and the most curious of the three beggars.
Ever since Xiao Er saw Ling Yan's wrists glitter with ropes that bound the villains, he had concluded that Ling Yan was a deity sent from heaven to save him. He clung to Ling Yan like a plaster, following him intently.
