Chapter 28 – She jumped over a wall and encountered a man in black robe (2/2)

The Button of Thousand Miles was a magical item. It could teleport a person to a far distance. Even facing a powerful enemy, the owner could use this item to escape. However, this button was really rare and could be seen as having a second life. Even places like the Zhou Royal Palace or the Longevity Sect didn’t have many of these buttons.

But she just used it without much regard and she only flipped over a wall.

For sure, it was a waste of such an unique item. But because of this reason, she was sure that her people would never imagine that she just used a Button of Thousand Miles to travel over a wall. She should have enough time to find the origin of that fragrance.

Compared to the cost of finding that person, the cost of the Button of Thousand Miles was nothing to her.

She was always generous.

When Luo Luo moved into the Herb Garden half a year ago, she was curious of the Tradition Academy and the event that occurred more than ten years ago. So, she climbed up the wall and took a peek. However, when she entered the school several months later, many things had changed.

It was still quiet around here, but the wildgrass around the lake was trimmed into a grass field. From the starlight, it was easy to see that the weed in the lake was also cleaned up. But the biggest change happened to the buildings. Besides the main building, which was still in ruins, other structures were mostly fixed up.

The night was dark and only the library had its lights on.

Luo Luo walked two steps towards the library. Suddenly, a light wind blew onto her face. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. A satisfied expression came to her face. She captured the leftover fragrance in the wind and with this, Luo Luo knew she had found the right place.

But when she opened her eyes, her satisfied expression quickly turned into one of caution. A hint of coldness showed up in her young complexion.

A person slowly walked out of the back of a tree growing around the lake

The person wore a black robe that reached up to his knees and the two sleeves were also long enough to touch his knees. His appearance was sharp, but his face was covered by the hoodie of the black robe which gave off a mysterious aura.

Luo Luo looked at the person and smiled. Her right hand slowly reached into her pocket and pulled out a button made out of bull horn.

That was another Button of Thousand Miles.

She didn’t know the identity of the person in the black robe, but it was clear that he had waited for her to appear. That was the problem

Luo Luo was taught from her childhood to not place herself in danger. In addition, she detected that the person in the black robe……especially the dark item that he held tightly in his hand was dangerous to her.

Therefore she used the second Button of Thousand Miles without hesitation.

She was truly generous, but she was also wasteful. She was rich enough to do that.

She opened her palm and the button started to fall onto the earth.

But at the same moment, the man in the black robe also opened his palm.

The thing that he held in his hand seemed to be made out of iron. The two tips were sharp and the surface was smooth. It looked like a giant needle.

The dark iron piece landed on the floor faster than the button did. Its sharp tip stabbed deeply into the soft soil.

Suddenly tiny scales grew out of the smooth metal surface. The scales came off and transformed into millions of iron pieces. These pieces flew silently into the surrounding night sky.

Following the iron pieces, a powerful presence rapidly covered the entire area of the Tradition Academy.

The smoke screen was gone.

Luo Luo was still in her original spot, and a trace of blood was flowing out of the corner of her lip!

The Button of Thousand Miles couldn’t help her leave!

She raised her head and glanced at the night sky. The starlight that was emitted seemed to reflect in a different direction.

The needle-like iron weapon was powerful enough to lock down such a large space!

Her smile was gone. She looked at the man dressed in the black robe and said sincerely, “ A struggling Heartseeker….Oh wait, I forgot….. There is no such saying at your place. But it is still a struggle to get to your level. You really want to die without a trace and your family members hunted down for all their lives until not a single one left? Is it really worth it to pay this price?”

This was not a threat, but rather an objective statement, that’s why it was powerful.

Anyone who dared to bring harm to her would face the boundless rage from the Red River of Eight Hundred Miles.

“To do that, you first need to know my identity.”

The man in the black robe slowly let down his hoodie and a ordinary face was under it.

It was just a middle-aged man. There was nothing special about his complexion. If he was thrown into the crowd of the capital, no one would be able to remember his face, especially when he ties up his hair.

Today, he didn’t put on any camouflage. His black hair went down to his shoulder. The two black demon horns were shown clearly under the starlight.

This middle-aged man from the Demon Race said religiously without hesitation,

“…..If I am able to kill you in the capital of the human world, speak less of my life, I am even willing to sacrifice my soul.”
