บท 359: Separate Paths

After six days of exposure, Old Man Mu had already lost most of his force and skill. He no longer posed a threat to them. Gu Shenwei and Maid Lotus began to focus their defences towards combatting Wildhorse. Since the journey was about to end, Wildhorse was likely to carry out his plan at any time.

At this moment, Old Man Mu, who had barely enough energy to last a day, escaped.

It was not until early the next morning as they were about to set off that they found Old Man Mu had disappeared, leaving the empty leather ropes. Nobody had realized that Old Man Mu had run away.

For the past ten days, everyone had been focusing on keeping up, and with only a little rest each day. Their vigor and physical strength had slackened, and so had their vigilance. Even Gu Shenwei and Maid Lotus had almost run out of patience. All of this had created conditions that facilitated Old Man Mu's escape.

But it was still a mystery how he managed to get out of the ropes.
