"Keep searching! Search carefully again!" Feng Hai made up his mind to capture Xianyao first. It wouldn't matter if one or two others escaped; after the incident was exposed, they could claim that it had all been a joke.

There was no evidence against them, so there was nothing to worry about. At most, they would avoid doing such things in the future, or wait until the rumors died down before addressing it.

Xianyao must be caught; otherwise, how could they swallow their pride Moreover, they believed that capturing Xianyao would make dealing with others easier. Perhaps they still had time to do so, but if they waited too long, there wouldn't be any chance of catching him.

Furthermore, the most important point was that they couldn't guarantee that Xianyao would leave quietly after being abandoned; he might continue setting traps for them.

Therefore, considering everything, Xianyao had to be caught. They also needed to mobilize personnel to bring everyone back, while letting others run away. This uncertainty about whether they could escape might make things more exciting.

Feng Hai hadn't thought of having his men directly kill the targets; though possible, it would come with a cost. To ensure their amusement, they captured warriors who weren't necessarily killed by their men. Even if they could, casualties were likely.

After acting, if anyone escaped, explaining it wouldn't be easy. It was better to leave things as they were for now and not worry about those people.

"What's going on"

When those being followed noticed that their trackers were disappearing, suspicion filled their minds. But no one stopped; instead, they took advantage of the opportunity to escape, which was currently the most important task.

Afraid to know why this happened, they only learned part of the truth when Green Dragon Society and other sects issued a manhunt order: The young masters and second-generation members had been eliminated, so no one pursued them.

They didn't know who had killed those scoundrels; without him, none would have survived. If they knew his name, they'd dedicate an immortal tablet to him.

Only one person guessed a bit of the truth but quickly dismissed it: A girl who had briefly spoken with Xianyao. When she noticed her trackers retreating, she became puzzled; when she saw that others were also leaving, she was even more curious.

Could they have encountered a powerful enemy and needed reinforcements That seemed the only explanation for their retreat.

Who could this formidable opponent be Could it be that young man from before Unlikely; he was just one person with relatively weak strength. Even those scoundrels could easily eliminate him if some of them came out.

No, absolutely impossible!

There must have been someone else!!

No matter who it was, they couldn't miss this opportunity; first, they had to escape. Green Dragon Society, you'll pay for this! I will definitely take revenge!

"Still nothing Impossible. Did he escape ahead But there were always people guarding the way forward, so it shouldn't be possible." Feng Hai and others became confused because after searching carefully again, they still didn't find Xianyao; therefore, he couldn't be in this area.

Since Xianyao wasn't here, he must have fled further ahead. At least that was their belief.

Hence, Feng Hai and others began chasing him forward. As before, a group of subordinates cleared the way ahead while people spread out to minimize casualties if they fell into a trap.

This was done to maintain speed and prevent Xianyao from setting traps; even sacrificing someone was better than being led around by him until more died.

What puzzled them was that after chasing for about ten miles, as nightfall approached, they still hadn't found any trace of Xianyao. Others also weren't found, and those who had already run far were pushed even further by Xianyao's interference.

They kept running desperately until feeling safe to rest at night.

"Have some people continue the chase for traces; others can rest. There are dangerous beasts in this mountain range, not suitable for nighttime actions." Feng Hai and his men didn't plan to chase through the night due to safety concerns and their status as privileged elites who wouldn't sacrifice sleep over trivial matters.

Furthermore, it wasn't safe at night with nocturnal beasts around. Their subordinates would keep searching, though how dangerous those searches were was none of their concern.

At night, they strengthened defenses in case Xianyao attacked suddenly. But he didn't appear until morning when everyone woke up and still no sign of him; only some slow-moving "prey" had been found.

Feng Hai and his men were uninterested in others, so when subordinates asked how to proceed, they told them to keep searching for Xianyao while ignoring other matters.

Half a day passed; they advanced but still hadn't found Xianyao's trace. This made them wonder if...

"Feng Hai, has that brat run away" someone asked.

"Yes. Could he be scared of us Without any abilities to cause us more trouble, the only thing he could do is escape. Or perhaps, from the beginning, he planned to flee," another person suspected.

"That's right! That’s exactly it!" someone agreed.

"It's possible. This time we might be in trouble. If he escapes, we’re in trouble; if he doesn’t escape, we're still in trouble!" Feng Hai said. He didn't want to admit this, but had no choice but to do so.

Now, regardless of what Xianyao did, they were going to be in trouble. The difference was just the degree of it.

"Then what should we do now" someone asked. The current situation was very confusing for them; they didn't know how to proceed.

“What can we do It seems like we won’t find him, and chasing after those people doesn't interest us anymore,” Feng Hai frowned and said, “But killing them still feels unsatisfying.”

The situation was just like this. Feng Hai and his group were frustrated; they needed to vent their anger, so they would probably continue the chase!

"That’s right. We have no way of letting off steam. We must find that brat. Even if we can’t find him, we still need to kill others—kill whoever we can... Ah..."

As the person speaking was talking, an arrow appeared at his throat, piercing it.

"Who is it Who"

This sudden change caused Feng Hai and the others to panic. They first looked at where the arrow had come from; originally, they didn’t have any hope of finding anything, but unexpectedly, they saw a figure.

When they finally realized who this was, it turned out to be the person they were looking for—Xianyao!

Xianyao stood on a tree branch, holding a bow in one hand and pulling back an arrow with his other, clearly indicating that he had just shot the arrow!

At this moment, Feng Hai and the others froze; they never expected Xianyao to appear again and be so bold to kill someone right before their eyes.

This made their anger surge even higher. Then, Xianyao said something else—

"Another one! Kill whoever I can!"

"Kill him for me!!" Feng Hai and the others roared as they attacked in Xianyao's direction; naturally, these attacks were useless from such a distance.

Xianyao had already calculated his safe distance. Not only could they not attack him at their current distance, but even if they advanced dozens of meters more, it wouldn't reach him.

At this time, Xianyao shot several arrows again, taking advantage of the others' rage to take a few lives, each arrow piercing someone's throat.

All these people were members of the second generation; not one of them was an insignificant lackey. Xianyao’s targets were precise, prioritizing these individuals and killing others when necessary, leaving no time for those who weren't essential to be dealt with because those lackeys would disperse without their masters.

"Defend! Defend quickly!" Feng Hai shouted upon realizing the situation was wrong. "The front people attack! Don’t just stand there like idiots!"

While ordering some to defend against Xianyao's cold arrows, he instructed others to advance and attack—a quick decision by Feng Hai. However, when they started advancing, Xianyao decisively stopped attacking, disappearing into the forest.

The moment those people reached where Xianyao had been, a question came up.

Strange—how could his arrows shoot so far and with such lethal force!

Xianyao's position was very distant from where they were attacked. This distance couldn't be covered by ordinary bows; even strong bows would lose their power at this range, yet how could his arrow pierce someone’s throat What kind of bow had this power

Furthermore, disregarding the strength of the bow, to control it and accurately hit targets so far away was terrifying in terms of eyesight and archery skills—almost unimaginable.

Who exactly was this young man, who not only excelled at poison techniques but also trap-making, and now had such god-like archery skills How could anyone believe he was just a lowly servant boy(To be continued)they couldn't find it, would they really break their signboardThis issue is quite serious, extremely so. Even the Young Master Huang feels a bit dubious about it himself. However, once his words are o...
