Walker Of The Worlds

The captain's reaction was the last straw that broke the camel's back, as after hearing his words Li Peng was utterly shocked. No longer could he keep his composure as sweat started forming on his back and forehead.

"This… This, what kind of poison is this?" Li Peng questioned.

Seeing that the opportunity had appeared, Hei Wan decide to strike the iron while it was hot.

"My best guess is that it's a poison called the memory confounding powder. It has a delayed effect and all that are affected by it enter a daze and lose their memory of around an hour." Hei Wan answered.

The shocked expression was still there on Li Peng's face as he comprehended Hei Wan's words.

"Such a poison exists? And it can even affect cultivators. Truly fearsome!" Li Peng uttered.

"You need to leave now. We won't be affected by the poison as our faces are covered, but you will be affected as well soon." Hei Wan spoke.

"What should I do then? Even if I leave now won't I forget the events of the past one hour." Li Peng spoke.

"I need you to write a document and stamp it with your personal seal. Once you lose your memories, we will be able to prove that what we were saying was true." Hei Wan ordered.

Li Peng realized the importance of her words and immediately nodded.

"Yes, I'll do as you command, madam." Li Peng replied.

He then picked up a piece of parchment and swiftly wrote a letter of trust and then stamped it with his personal seal. Once the letter was done, he handed it to Hei Wan, who took it and stored it in her sleeve.

"Now we should be fine. I'll talk to Lin Mu, so you don't need to worry." Hei Wan spoke.

A sigh of relief escaped Li Peng's lips as he heard Hei Wan's words.

"We're lucky that madam Hei Wan is here. If you were not here, we would have been doomed." Li Peng spoke while walking away from the office along with Hei Wan.

"It's not entirely your fault Li Peng, it's the Town Head, and the Guard captains fault. They have been taking things too lightly these days. They did not even inform the officials in the Wu Lim city. I only got to know of this because of a few merchants." Hei Wan replied.
