Upon hearing those words, Sara felt a chilling sensation surge from her feet all the way to her scalp.
More than 300 years ago, she had been inadvertently rescued by Meng Changsheng (Willie) on Shiwan Dashan, but never before had she experienced such dread.
Thest time she felt this kind of panic was upon seeing Meng Changsheng (Willie)’s portrait online.
Now, however, she was confronted with the rming realization that her master, who had seemingly reached his limit over three centuries ago and headed west, might still be alive! The weight of this revtion was nothing short of overwhelming!
Sara struggled to contain the fear swelling within her and stammered, “Master… disciple… disciple acknowledges her wrongs…”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
In that instant, an explosive shout of anger pierced her ears as Meng Changsheng (Willie) scolded her in an icy tone, “Get out of here!”
His reprimand struck Sara like a thunderbolt.
In that moment, she feltpelled to act without hesitation. She quickly stood, bowed tremulously toward the stone wall, and said, “Master, I seek to atone. Disciple is leaving…” With that,
she turned around in haste, dragging the man along with her. Her legs felt as heavy as lead as she stumbled out of the cave.
Once outside, Sara dared not pause and hurriedly made her way down the mountain.
Her heart raced faster and thudded heavier than ever. After fleeing for over ten miles without stopping, she couldn’t help but murmur, “How is this possible… How can this be… Didn’t that old man reach his end over three hundred years ago? How could he still be alive now?” As she pondered, doubt gnawed at her, “No! It’s still unclear whether he is alive or dead! Perhaps he truly isn’t dead, or maybe his consciousness lingers even after death, or he may have died long ago, leaving only a formation to torment me…”
Deep down, Sara struggled to find a belief strong enough to anchor her thoughts.
Even though she considered all three scenarios usible, she refused to take any chances. Right now, her only desire was to escape this ce, this mountain, and China itself.<fn7f88> This update is avable on f?ndnovel</fn7f88>

Meanwhile, as Sara rushed through the mountains, Charlie and Lin Wan’er (ni) were tirelessly switching between real-time feeds from all the surveince cameras surrounding the area where Sara had vanished.
This location was deep in the mountains, with only two small towns nking a nearly 100-kilometer stretch of highway, resulting in a limited number of surveince cameras.
To enhance their search efficiency, Lin Wan’er enlisted the help of Lao Zhang, Sun Zhidong (Meir), and Qiu Yingshan (Curtis).
In an effort to lighten the workload, the four nonagenarians, each nearing a century old, manned theirputers, continuously cycling through the monitoring screens in search of Sara.
Initially, Charlie thought it was unlikely that Sara would show up so soon, but out of caution, he kept a vignt eye, fearing he might miss something important.
To keep the older individuals and Lin Wan’er (ni) from bing too fatigued, Charlie provided them with refreshing water infused with enhanced blood-cirction properties, which also had the added benefit of potentially extending their lives by a year or two.
From nightfall to dawn, none of them exhibited signs of tiredness, nor did anyone experience dry eyes.
At that moment, Lin Wan’er (ni) suddenly pointed at herputer screen and eximed, “It’s Sara!”
Charlie rushed over to examine the surveince footage, noticing she was heading in the direction of the camera.
In surprise, Charlie asked, “Where is this surveince located?”
Lin Wan’er (ni) replied, “It’s on the section of highway where Sara disappeared, just past an exit more than 20 kilometers ahead, near a town called Erdaoshan.”
Perplexed, Charlie questioned, “She vanished midway. I suspect she used some method to leave.”
