Chapter 97

Ever since the mysterious person in white helped them defeat their enemies and retreat, Zhang Yue and his companions paused briefly to catch their breath before setting out once again on their uncertain journey. However, in the days that followed, a series of bizarre events occurred like ghosts one after another, tightening their already strained nerves and prompting them to harbor growing suspicions about the appearance of the woman in white. At first, their carefully planned routes were repeatedly seen through by the mysterious person. No matter how hard they racked their brains to detour or how cleverly they disguised their movements, it felt as though an invisible pair of eyes from the high heavens was coldly watching their every move. Every turn and every concealment was completely known to the adversary, severely restricting their actions and making them tread on thin ice. Next, the intelligence they had obtained through untold hardships inexplicably turned out to be wrong. Information that should have been accurate became a fatal misdirection at the critical moment, plunging them several times into near-fatal perils and almost wiping out the entire party. Every mistake cost them dearly, making blood and sweat seem so insignificant amidst this endless conspiracy.
