It had taken Chu Nanping thole days and nights to capture that drifting shadow

He followed the Dragon King's requireh not out of fear As the only lone practitioner of the Essence of Perceiving Passion, his kung fu was already better than most of his fellow disciples, and Gu Shenwei hoped to strike a balance so that even if those weirdos had Shangguan Ru in their hands, they would not dare toin the Royal Court In the boundless grasslands that were as flat as a pancake, the perfect place for hi around the Dragon Ar shadows

Outside the camp, there were always some sneaky felloho either overtly or covertly watched every 's task was si the ca the Dragon King when he quietly went out

This never happened

But on the first night, he noticed soe

Formless and soundless, it was like a cloud's shadow quickly drifting away Chu Nanping suddenly felt soht as if it were just an illusion

Those ere constantly in a state of alert often heard danger in every sound but this ti that the illusion would turn into reality if he could rewind time

He should have stayed in the tent he had rented beforehand in the day, but he couldn't fall asleep So he put on a disguise and started circling the ca range

He had never mastered the killer techniques, but he was patient and observant After a whole day's worth of scouting, he had finally figured out a hidden route that would allow hi seen

That night, Chu Nanping quietly patrolled along the planned route while changing directions every two hours

The feeling of a cloud's shadow drifting away appeared again, but when he turned and leaped towards it, he missed and nearly exposed himself

Two disciples of the Essence Pavilion ju quickly fled

After this, patrolling becainally four disciples of the Essence Pavilion watching outside the Dragon Army's cauard at different positions after discovering the target's whereabouts Chu Nanping could only stop using the best route and go around in a bigger circle

During the second day, Chu Nanping didn't leave the tent He took ahis sword techniques

He felt no fear, so he continued searching for that strange shadow that night

But this was evening was the one where the Dragon King and the five elders of the Jade Pure Sect sneaked into the palace after the couan Fei confusedly participated in a riot, and Chu Nanping found himself beset with a crisis twice

The disciples of the Essence Pavilion had sworn to capture this young swordsht disciples, they also invited a few other helpers

Chu Nanping's first encounter ith a olden roc killer but had co fu skills With a machete in the style of the Norland, he had rushed out suddenly like a stray bison

Chu Nanping only remembered a few killer principles, one of which was that if the enemy abruptly ju around or dodging to the side because there was probably a trap waiting ahead, but rather to charge forward as the real safe place was actually behind the eneht but this ti unsheathed his sword to block the enemy and passed by him at the same time Then he quickly slipped into the shadows and fled down a route he was already familiar with Behind hi up

After he had gotten away, Chu Nanping circled back to the periphery of the camp He never wavered fros he wanted to do and didn't even e about it To an outsider, it was a kind of foolish obstinacy To him, however, it was very simple His ht that there were other alternatives

It was this character that had kept hi a qualified killer nohe received Sometimes he could be easily deceived by way of his character But it was also this character that enabled hi his relentless pursuit

If it was Gu Shenwei, he nored it or he would've become suspicious, and then set trap and wait for the other side to step in it

Chu Nanping was in danger for the second time now He felt the drift of the cloud's shadow for the third ti that he could not help but let the curiosity get the better of hi up to pursue it And as he did so, he just happened to run into four disciples of the Essence Pavilion

They consisted of a pair of one-eyed le sabers and a pair of one-eyed men who used short halberds

The confrontation was extre wielded tords, si down his pursuit at all

The shadoas not far ahead He knew it, and he could feel it Following his instinct, he ran eastith four ‘tails' still chasing behind him

The shadow suddenly disappeared into the wilderness, and Chu Nanping felt disappointed and sad for the first tis when the Dragon King refused to practice the Emotionless Swordsmanshi+p with him
