Chapter 619: Chapter 619 Departure 5

Mu Lingyun nodded, indicating that she understood.

Actually, she had already met the Luoyang Manor lord in her previous life.

Therefore, even if the elder had not explained, she knew what she should do.

After the elder finished explaining, he also shared some other words with Mu Lingyun and then urged her to set off as soon as possible.

Mu Lingyun also felt it was getting late, so she said goodbye to the elder and to the Little Taoist before descending the mountain.

Halfway down the mountain path, Mu Lingyun suddenly felt unwell.

It must have been the Heartflame Poison acting up.

The antidote for Heartflame Poison must be consumed when the poison flares up to be effective.

These days, she had been waiting for the Heartflame Poison to act up, but she hadn’t expected it to happen at such a time.

Mu Lingyun’s lips twitched.

She was truly in a dilemma now.

If she didn’t take the antidote, she would soon be in so much pain she wouldn’t be able to walk.

If she did take it, she would have to sleep for at least half an hour.

After hesitating for a moment, she took out a signal flare and shot it straight into the sky.

Previously, she had arranged with Mu Yanci to send messages via signals.

She just hadn’t expected to use it so soon.

After launching the signal, she took out the antidote for Heartflame Poison and consumed it.

After taking it, she sat on a rock, leaning against it, and soon fell asleep.

–

When Mu Yanci saw the signal, at first, he didn’t actually react.

After all, Mu Lingyun had only mentioned it in passing.

A moment later, he realized what it was and his expression changed as he looked in the direction where the signal had come from.

Ouyang Han noticed the change in his expression and asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”

“Mu Yun must have run into trouble,” Mu Yanci said, then quickly headed towards the direction from which the signal came.

Ouyang Han, looking displeased, furrowed his brow.

“Axun, stay here, I’ll take a look!” Ouyang Han said and hastily followed.

Qin Xun watched the two hurry off without saying anything.

Mu Yanci climbed up the mountain but did not see Mu Lingyun anywhere.

Soon, he arrived at the Taoist temple.

After asking the people there, he learned that Mu Lingyun had left quite a while ago.

He furrowed his brow and headed back down the mountain.

All along the way, he searched carefully for any traces.

Eventually, he stopped halfway up the mountain.

There was a small bottle there, clearly used to store pills.

Mu Yanci seemed to remember seeing it on Mu Lingyun before.

He bent down to pick up the small pill bottle, his eyebrows tightly knit.

Ouyang Han, who had been following him, spoke up, “Did you find something?”

Mu Yanci showed Ouyang Han the small bottle in his hand: “This is her pill bottle.”

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Han began to look around for clues.

Soon, he found a series of footprints on a path.

“This way.”

Ouyang Han called out to Mu Yanci and then followed the footprints.

Upon hearing him, Mu Yanci also quickly followed.

–

When Mu Lingyun slowly came to, she felt the Heartflame Poison within her body had been neutralized.

But what she had not expected was that she had been tied up.

She looked around and discovered that she was in a decrepit house with two burly men guarding the door.

She furrowed her eyebrows, somewhat unclear as to what was going on.

When the men at the door noticed she was awake, they came in, picked her up, and carried her out of the decrepit house.
