Chapter 554

Deep within a secluded mountain forest, a carriage raced like a madman into a narrow path embraced by trees. The driver glanced back from time to time at the pursuers who had stopped far behind, hesitating to chase further. As the driver's clenched heart relaxed slightly, several figures suddenly surged forward. With a sharp flick of the reins, the driver shouted, "Hyah!" The horse, stinging from the pain, dragged the carriage deeper into the woods. The driver caught a glimpse of a stone tablet standing by the roadside, inscribed with the words: "Forbidden Ground of the Zhang Clan, Trespassers Will Be Punished." Groans of pain echoed from behind; the driver looked back to see that all the pursuers had already been felled on the ground.
