Chapter 369: Was Robbed Halfway

“To be able to perform a sneak attack, I’m impressed,” Audrey mocked coldly.

The black-clothed man did not seem to mind. His face was gloomy as he gathered two balls of demonic Qi in his palms.

Seeing this, the energy in Audrey’s body grew stronger. The longsword she held tightly was covered in a layer of frost, giving off an oppressive chill.

The black-clothed man rushed toward Audrey at lightning speed. The two balls of demonic Qi in his hands continuously attacked Audrey, but they were both blocked by Audrey’s frost sword.

“You’re not my match. It’s best if you quickly tell me who you are and what your motives are!” Audrey snorted coldly and stared at the black-clothed man with a domineering gaze as she said this.

After a round of fighting, the black-clothed man naturally felt the disparity in strength between the two of them. His expression could not help but tense up. He then looked at his other companions, who were also caught off guard by Audrey’s teammates.

“You won’t know,” the black-robed man replied coldly. He looked at his companions, his eyes darkened, and he simply escaped.

His remaining companions were quickly dealt with by Klein and Hobart. However, these people were also stubborn fellows. Before Audrey could interrogate them, they all chose to commit suicide.

“Who exactly are they? In order to protect their identity, they actually chose to die,” Hobart said with a frown, a faint worry in his heart.

“They’re probably the same as those people in the Polar Glacier Village,” Audrey answered with a heavy tone.

Although she did not tell her teammates about the Carol Association, they were smart enough to guess that Spark City was not peaceful with these people in the village.

“Miss Audrey, it was really a close call.” At this moment, the Valley Master and Moka came over and thanked her profusely. “If it weren’t for you guys, the Herb King Valley would have been finished.”

“You’re exaggerating. This matter was originally caused by us. If it weren’t for me taking the Sky Demon Herb, they wouldn’t have done such a thing to the Herb King Valley.” Audrey chuckled and said it in a very thorough manner.

However, the Valley Master smiled and shook his head. “It’s obvious that they aren’t good people. Even without you, I wouldn’t have given the Sky Demon Herb to such a person.”

Hearing this, Audrey smiled in relief. The Valley Master’s deep sense of righteousness was truly admirable.

“In any case, I’ve brought some trouble to the Herb King Valley. Please forgive me.” By the side, Adrian also spoke up for Audrey. They were a team and should shoulder this responsibility together.

“It’s good as long as everyone is fine,” the Valley Master replied with a smile.

Audrey nodded, her azure-blue eyes flashing with a deeper meaning.

Now, the people from the Carol Association already knew that she was the one who took the Sky Demon Herb. They would definitely find trouble with her and not the Herb King Valley. However, it was also good that she did not implicate the Herb King Valley.

“Mm, if they come again in the future, Valley Master, don’t bring them in,” Audrey reminded him out of kindness.

“Don’t worry. Without us bringing them in, they won’t be able to find the entrance,” Moka nodded and said confidently. The Herb King Valley had done a good job of concealing themselves.

Hearing this, Audrey chuckled. That was all she had to say.

After checking the Herb King Valley’s injuries and seeing that there were not any serious injuries, Audrey and the others left the Herb King Valley and went into the forest. They followed the route they had marked and walked out of the forest.

The carriage remained in its original position without any changes, which made Audrey heave a sigh of relief. This way, it would be more convenient for them to go back.

The way back was clearly smoother than when they had come. However, in a day’s time, Audrey and the others had covered half of the journey. It was inconvenient to travel at night, so they simply found a place to rest.

However, they had just stopped the carriage when Audrey was about to get off when she suddenly felt a powerful aura coming from behind.

Her face suddenly darkened. She stood up neatly and stood on the carriage. When she looked behind, she saw a group of men in black.

She did not expect that the people from the Carol Association would come so quickly.

Audrey snorted coldly in her heart and sized them up without batting an eyelid. There were ten people in total, including the man in the sapphire-blue dress that she was most familiar with.

Clearly, he was also the leader this time.

The Carol Association really put in a lot of effort for the Sky Demon Herb. They actually sent out one of the three great commanders.

Audrey sneered inwardly and stared at him without the slightest fear. She said sarcastically, “In order to snatch the Sky Demon Herb, you actually sent out one of the three great commanders.”

Hearing this, the mysterious man’s eyes immediately darkened. “You know too much.”

“It’s just a small part of it,” Audrey replied. Then, her gaze fell on the mysterious man. “What exactly do you want to do?”

“It’s none of your business. Don’t meddle in it. You’ll have to pay the price for meddling in other people’s business,” the mysterious man said in a low voice as if he could execute someone in the next second.

Audrey was naturally not afraid. She remained calm.

“Hand over the Sky Demon Herb and I’ll let you off today.” The mysterious man stretched out his hand and spoke in a condescending tone.

Audrey’s eyes turned even gloomier. She had placed the Sky Demon Herb in the otherworldly realm. Unless she wanted to take it out, it was impossible for it to be snatched away.

However, the important thing now was not whether she should hand over the Sky Demon Herb. Instead, she wanted to use the Sky Demon Herb to obtain more information about the Carol Association.
