The surrounding heroes quickly surrounded the traitor, but he was very cunning and used the surrounding environment to dodge attacks. Jiang Yanwan resisted his attacks while looking for opportunities to knock him down.

The traitor smiled grimly: "You are destined to be in my grasp."

Jiang Yanwan responded calmly: "Don't think you are so powerful, you are destined to fail today."

The two sides fought back and forth, swords flashing everywhere. Suddenly, Jiang Yanwan saw a flaw and stabbed forward suddenly. The traitor was caught off guard and was stabbed in the chest, and blood spurted out.

A trace of despair flashed in the traitor's eyes, and he roared: "Since I'm going to lose, I'll die together with you!" After that, his body swelled instantly, and his muscles turned purple and hideous.

Jiang Yanwan was shocked and quickly stepped back: "Everyone, move away! He's going to explode!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the traitor's body exploded like a balloon, blood splattered everywhere, and the poisonous blood sprinkled on the ground and walls, emitting a pungent smell. Several righteous men who were unable to dodge screamed in pain, and the places where their skin was contaminated immediately felt as if burning, and pieces of flesh began to corrode.

Jiang Yanwan quickly took out the antidote powder from her bosom and sprinkled it on the injured warriors, temporarily slowing down the spread of the poison. However, the situation in front of them was still troubling, and their situation became more dangerous.

Wu Junyao walked to Jiang Yanwan with difficulty: "Yanwan, we must leave here. This poison is too overbearing and we can't stay here for long."

Jiang Yanwan nodded: "We need to find a safe place as soon as possible and find a way to detoxify."

Other heroes also expressed their support. Some of them turned pale due to the poison, but they still stood firmly. Jiang Yanwan looked at them and felt an invisible force supporting these brave people.

"Let's go, we're heading southeast. There's a hidden valley there, maybe we can avoid pursuers." Jiang Yanwan gave the order decisively, supporting Wu Junyao and taking the lead to step toward the southeast.

Along the way, the trees around them gradually became sparse and the terrain became more complicated. Although everyone was exhausted physically and mentally, no one gave up. They supported each other and moved forward firmly, and every step was filled with hope and faith in the future.

Finally, they entered a dense forest and found the hidden valley. The scenery in the valley was quiet and peaceful, as if it was another world. The heroes quickly built a temporary camp, treated their wounds and recovered their strength.

Jiang Yanwan sat beside Wu Junyao and changed the medicine for him: "Junyao, hold on a little longer, we will definitely find a way to detoxify."

Wu Junyao looked at her with a smile: "With you here, I have confidence."

Suddenly, a steady voice came from behind them: "It seems that you are not having an easy time."

Jiang Yanwan and Wu Junyao turned around suddenly and saw a handsome and majestic man standing there. It was their former enemy, the King of Jin.

"Prince Jin..." Jiang Yanwan's heart tightened, and her hand involuntarily touched the hilt of the sword at her waist.

King Jin smiled slightly and raised his hands to show that he was harmless: "Don't be nervous, I didn't come here to make an enemy of you."

Wu Junyao frowned: "Then what are you doing here suddenly?"

King Jin said calmly: "I have seen your situation. You need help, and I have my own problems. We can cooperate with each other."

Jiang Yanwan stared at him warily: "What do you want?"

King Jin's eyes flickered and he looked directly at Jiang Yanwan: "I want you to save someone."

"Who to save?" Jiang Yanwan's doubts deepened.

King Jin did not answer immediately, but turned around and motioned for them to follow him, and then walked straight towards a path in the valley. Jiang Yanwan and Wu Junyao looked at each other and decided to follow him to see what was going on.

The bamboo-lined path went deeper and deeper, and a quiet little house appeared in front of us. King Jin stopped in front of the door and sighed softly, "Come in."

Jiang Yanwan and Wu Junyao followed King Jin into the small house, which was simple and clean. On a wooden bed lay a pale woman, breathing weakly.

"This is..." Jiang Yanwan noticed the strong smell of illness on the woman and couldn't help but frowned, "Who is she?"

A trace of tenderness flashed in King Jin's eyes: "This is my biological mother."

Jiang Yanwan was shocked. She didn't expect that the dignified King Jin would have such a soft side. She carefully examined the woman's condition and quickly concluded, "She was poisoned by a very complex poison, and this poison is very similar to the poison of the traitor we encountered before."

King Jin's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure: "Can you solve it?"

Jiang Yanwan pondered for a moment and gritted her teeth: "Maybe, but it will take time and some rare medicinal materials."

"I can help you find those herbs." King Jin's eyes were firm, "but you must do your best to treat her."

Jiang Yanwan nodded: "I promise you, but you must also keep your promise and persuade King Qing to let us go."

"Deal." King Jin stretched out his hand and shook hands with Jiang Yanwan. Both sides showed trust but also were wary of each other.

Wu Junyao frowned even more tightly, but did not speak to stop them. He knew that the current situation did not allow them to worry too much.

In the next few days, Jiang Yanwan focused on treating the biological mother of King Jin. She prepared a detoxifying decoction and used acupuncture to relieve the woman's pain. At the same time, King Jin also quickly collected the necessary medicinal materials through his own channels.

One day, Jiang Yanwan was changing the dressing for a woman when she heard hurried footsteps outside the door. King Jin pushed the door open and walked in with a serious expression: "Oh no, someone is chasing us."

Jiang Yanwan's expression changed slightly: "Who is it?"

Prince Jin said calmly: "They were sent by Prince Qing. They have already noticed our whereabouts."

Wu Junyao clenched his fists: "We have to prepare for battle."

Jiang Yanwan nodded, but she knew in her heart that a head-on fight was not the best option. After all, there was a huge gap in their strength, so she had to find a way to outsmart them.

"Everyone listen to me, we will set a trap, lure them into the bamboo forest, and then defeat them one by one." Jiang Yanwan quickly made a plan.

King Jin looked at her approvingly, "That makes sense. I will lead some of the men to lure the enemy into the bamboo forest, and the rest of the men will ambush them."

The two looked at each other, trusting each other but also slightly wary. Time was running out, so they took action immediately.

In the bamboo forest, Jiang Yanwan, Wu Junyao and some righteous men were lying in ambush in a secret place. Soon after, they heard a noisy sound of footsteps and whispered conversations.

"They are coming in," Wu Junyao heard the noise and reminded in a low voice.

The King of Jin first lured the enemy into the bamboo forest, and most of the pursuers were attracted there. The moment they stepped into the trap area, the mechanism was activated, bamboo arrows flew, and the enemy soldiers were caught off guard, screaming.

Just as the enemy soldiers were in a panic, Jiang Yanwan led the righteous men to launch a sudden attack from both sides, and the fierce offensive caught the enemy off guard. The two sides fought fiercely, with swords flashing in the bamboo forest and the air filled with the smell of blood.

"Don't let any one go, make sure to kill them all!" Jiang Yanwan shouted after swinging her sword and killing an enemy soldier.

Wu Junyao also fought hard, his swordsmanship was sharp, and he quickly eliminated several enemy soldiers. However, just when the battle was the most intense, an enemy general suddenly appeared and rushed straight towards Jiang Yanwan.

"Yan Wan, be careful!" Wu Junyao shouted loudly, but unfortunately the distance was too far and he couldn't arrive in time.
