He knew Jiang Chen was strong enough to protect them. He was also relieved that Jiang Chen wasn't as he had feared; his conscience hadn't been completely extinguished.
Jiang Chen didn't know where the five hundred people were. However, he knew where Patrick's dozen or so companions were, so all he had to do was follow them.
These dozen individuals moved swiftly through the woods, with Jiang Chen trailing closely behind. Moreover, Jiang Chen noticed something: their clothing was very similar to Patrick's, meaning it could block True Qi attacks.
At that moment, the woman leading the group stopped, turned to look back, and furrowed her brows. The dense white fog obscured everything.
"Captain, what's wrong?"
"Could someone be following us?"
The woman said coldly, "Keep chasing."
The dozen people quickly departed. The woman then whispered to a few, "You all continue the chase; I'll catch up." With a swift jump, she climbed a tree, held her breath, and remained perfectly still.
