The three of them rode non-stop, leaving the assassination far behind.

People can endure the constant running around for days, but horses can't.

Although they hoped to travel a thousand miles a day, unfortunately they were not riding a thousand-mile horse.

When we arrived at Red Stone City, the city gate had just closed.

The city gate was closed, so they could not enter the city. They tightened the reins and the horses paced in place.

Su He looked at the tightly closed city gate. If he was alone, he could find a way to get in, but now, there were only three of them and two horses.

"Get off the horse first." Su He said to Song Yu and then got off first, and then helped Song Yu down.

After Song Yu got down from the ground, he looked back at the way he came and found that no one had caught up with him.

Su He pulled the horse to the foot of the city wall and tied it to a horse post on the side of the road.

"Ayu, are you scared?" Su He walked back to Song Yu, took her hand and asked softly.

Song Yu looked up at him, but instead of answering, he asked, "How are you? Are you hurt?"

Su He shook his head: "No."

Song Yu turned his head to look at Qingxi again. Without her having to say anything, Qingxi said, "Don't worry, Miss. Tangdou and I are fine."

As he spoke, Tangdou crawled out of his arms and called out to Song Yu, "Meow!" as if responding to her worry.

After making sure that everyone was fine, Song Yu breathed a sigh of relief and only then did he have the mind to inquire about the situation.

"What is going on? Who are they?" Song Yu looked at Su He.

Those people couldn't be targeting her. After all, she had been in this world for less than a year, and had been out of Biluo Village for less than two months.

If there is any offense, it's only the bandits in Heishui Village.

But Lu Shangbai told her that all the bandits had been caught.

Therefore, those people could only be targeting Su He.

Although she didn't know martial arts, she could see that those people used deadly moves when fighting against the enemy.

If Su He had not been so powerful, they would probably have become nameless corpses in the wilderness by now.

Su He thought for a moment and said, "They are from the Qingyang Sect."

Song Yu murmured, "Qingyang Sect," and then suddenly realized, "Is this the demonic sect that those people are talking about?"

"How could it be?" Song Yu was surprised. "People from the Demon Cult. Why would they come to you?"

Before Su He could explain, Song Yu suddenly thought, "Could it be that they are coming for me?"

Because if they were really members of the Demon Cult, she had offended them before, such as Sifang City and Suzaku Gate. Didn’t they say that Suzaku Gate was once a subordinate of the Demon Cult?

She had once been involved in the Suzaku Sect because of Liang Yunsheng's affairs.

Could it be that they wanted revenge? However, Liang Xiao and Liang Yunsheng's deaths had nothing to do with her, so this didn't make sense.

Moreover, when they were in Hongmei Town, those people in the martial arts world clearly said that the Suzaku Sect was now being represented by the Sect Master's wife.

Could it be that the lady wanted to kill her?

Su He listened to Song Yu's speculation and wanted to push the matter aside, but when he saw the fear on her face, he said, "They are coming for me."

Song Yu came back to his senses: "Ah? Why? Did you offend the Demon Cult before?"

Without waiting for Su He to answer, Song Yu pulled Su He aside and whispered, "I never asked you before, but when I found you, were the injuries on your body caused by the Demon Cult?"

"No," Su He retorted subconsciously.

Song Yu asked, "No? Do you know how badly you were injured? You were on the brink of death. If it wasn't the demon cult that hurt you, how did you get those injuries?"

Su He looked at Song Yu's questioning eyes, opened his mouth, and finally said, "I mean I don't remember."

"Haven't you remembered it yet?" Song Yu asked.

Su He shook his head, observing Song Yu's reaction from the corner of his eye, and said, "But seeing as they want to kill me, they must have had a grudge against me."

Song Yu nodded, agreeing with Su He's idea, but he was also worried: "What should we do? We don't know if they will come back in the future. How are your injuries?"

Su He said, "The injury is not serious, but I'm afraid I have to be more careful next time."

Song Yu nodded and said, "How about we travel overnight? Go around the city."

Su He comforted him, "There's no need to be so anxious."

Song Yu said, "How can I not be anxious? You are injured and being hunted. What if you are not so lucky next time and can't escape?"

Su He said, "Don't worry, Ayu, I'm here. I won't let them hurt you."

Song Yu patted his arm and said, "Why should I be relieved? They are coming for you."

"Yes, go to Wanjian Villa. You must go to Wanjian Villa quickly. The owner of the villa can help you cure your illness, and the people of the Wulin Alliance can also resist the Demon Cult. It's a two-pronged approach." Song Yu suddenly seemed to have discovered a chance of survival and was extremely excited.

"But it's still some distance to Wanjian Villa. What should we do if we meet them again on the way?" Su Hewen asked.

Song Yu was silent. This was indeed a problem. Now no one knew how many people they had sent. Since they were able to find them, it meant that they knew Su He.

If there is another wave of assassinations, I can't guarantee 100% that I can avoid it.

Song Yu lowered his head and tried hard to think of a solution.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind. She looked at Su He with burning eyes and asked, "Disguise, can you do disguises here?"

In the martial arts world she knew, there were even things like human skin masks.

Since they know Su He, let them not recognize him.

Su He looked at Song Yu's excitement. He had originally had this idea. Now that Song Yu took the initiative to propose it, he could just go with the flow.

"Yes." Su He said.

Song Yu raised his head, looked towards the city gate, and asked, "I wonder if there is any here."

Su He said, "Tomorrow morning, we'll go into the city and look for it, and we'll find out."

Song Yu nodded: "Okay, if we really don't have any, we can just buy a few hats to wear."

"Okay, Ayu is thoughtful." Su He said.

Song Yu's excited heart slowly calmed down. That was her first time experiencing an assassination. In modern times, when she saw passers-by fighting, she would have to stay away. Now she had also experienced the flash of swords and the fight.

After discussing it, they took a short rest under the wall.

Song Yu leaned against Su He and closed her eyes to rest. Su He pulled the clothes covering her.

He was not asleep. He looked at Qingxi who was also awake and said, "Walk further away?"

Qingxi nodded, saluted silently, turned and walked into the darkness.

After a while, Su He, who had sharp eyes and ears, heard the sound of something breaking through the air.

This time it wasn't a flying arrow, but someone was using a tree branch as a sword, practicing sword swinging.

That was the sound of branches whipping the air.

Song Yu didn't sleep very well that day. She was woken up by Su He. When she opened her eyes, she saw a vague figure not far away.

There were also hurried and noisy footsteps, which were the surrounding villagers rushing into the city early.
