Blade opened a corner of the drapes so that he could take a peep outside He hoped with all his heart that three years of running about was henceforth over In less than half a month, he would be able to return to Stone Castle where he could possibly regain the Lord’s favor and trust

Whenever he thought of the two young killers who escaped in front of his eyes, he would fly into a rage, of which some was directed at the escapees and himself, while a small portion was directed at the Lord He had acted before Lady Meng did and surrounded the defecting killers with his men, yet the result was a total catastrophe

Who would have thought that Slave Huan would fly away on a giant roc? This was totally beyond the scope of human control

Perhaps he should have predicted that Maid Lotus would escape by ju off the cliff The area around the Ghost Cliff had been the Barren Sect disciples’ secret route to reach the top of the h the iron nails fixed into the cliff walls had long been reined that the young feh for her to slide down a rope and later to dig her fingers in the holes as she scaled down theon, it was already too late

The only remedial measures which Stone Castle could e the nail holes and to set up an Arroer on the Ghost Cliff

In order tohad fastened a fine rope around his waist and personally went down the cliff wall to check that h so into, even a person with ahtness Skill would be terrified by the risks As long as the person took one uneven breath, he or she would fall and be smashed into pieces

Therefore, between the two escapees, Shen Liang admired Maid Lotus more

The fe reckless She had shrewdly decided not to Slave Huan, and descended the cliff alone at the last possible moment Evidently, she felt that he was a burden who could very likely have caused both of the could not understand hy she wanted to defect A killer as outstanding as her would never be moved by love

Furthermore, there had been no trace of her since her disappearance, unlike Slave Huan ent around killing people and even allowed his giant roc to leave a distinctive mark – that of the eyeless corpses – everywhere

Shen Liang viewed Slave Huan’s actions as an open challenge toward him and Golden Roc Fort He had sent people to where the eyeless corpses were and had covered practically every country in the Western Region, yet after dispatching teae to slip away every single ti that Maid Lotus was hiding beside Slave Huan, and that as long as the latter fell into the trap today, he would be able to dispose of both defected killers

It was currently the early hours of theThe camp was extre of the weapons of the patrolling soldiers were clearly audible Everything was proceeding normally What even the soldiers did not knoas that in this tent were hidden the best killers of Golden Roc Fort

Shen Liang lowered the drapes and turned his head back to look at the three distressed people

One of thehtly hunched back He was one of the most famous blacks swords The other two people were his young disciples They were bashful and uneasy to the extent that they did not even dare to raise their heads and take a gli in the doorway

In a letter, Slave Huan had brazenly demanded Shu-lik’shad thought, at one point, that this was a trap, until he personally read the letter that orded brusquely and arrogantly:

Chief of the Dragons and Leader of the Five Peaks hereby orders every one of you to retreat three hundred a the blacksnature or Slave Huan’s na kneritten by hi reached Golden Roc Fort

Seven or eight o, the killer had fled into the Great Snowmountain and killed dozens of Danduo Peak’s swordsiant roc He thereupon forced the chief, Long Xiaoshi+, to make peace with the old ene Greatsword Peak, Smallsword Peak, and Canopy Peak broke out The intensity of these battles exceeded the results attained by Golden Roc Fort’sdiscord

The undercover Golden Roc killers either fled the Great Snowmountain or were killed However, news of the conflicts continued ceaselessly and showed no sign of end Shen Liang had made the prudent decision to remain as a bystander, but that was only until this “Chief of the Dragons and Leader of the Five Peaks” suddenly popped up

Shen Liang could not help but let out a disdainful snort “The defected killer and son of a servant dares to call hionethe snort, the two blacksmith disciples startled up as if they had accidentally stepped on burning charcoal They covertly gazed at theirtheir heads back down, afraid that an inappropriate expression in their eyes would invite death upon the within the same small tent Nonetheless, the blackshtest trace of them

The only killer who did not hide was Blade himself He was certain that Slave Huan and Maid Lotus would arrive to perform a sneak raid Both of them were killers trained by Golden Roc Fort after all Even though they had defected, their behavioral patterns could not have deviated fro would end today

Four days after the threat froons and Leader of the Five Peaks, when the sun had just risen and the dewdrops had yet to evaporate, the guards spotted in the distance a knight slowly riding his way out of the pass of the Great Snow was that their forward scouts and sentries did not provide a single notification

As the news rapidly traveled up, et a view of the knight and his black horse

“Is he the ‘Chief of the Dragons and Leader of the Five Peaks’?” the general asked in astonishment He felt that the Golden Roc killers had made a mountain out of aup an a directly toward them alone

“Could it be that everyone in the Great Snow?” Laughter broke out when someone made this conjecture

“But where are the scouts?” Someone else raised this cautious suspicion, but his voice was drowned out by the uproar around hieneral drew his bow and shot an arrow at the knight The arrow scraped the knight’s arht to rein in his horse

The laughter in the carew even louder Most of it was to ridicule the soldier’s archery technique

Shen Liang was a little skeptical of the news, but when the noise outside becaed to co in wait in their original positions, in case the ene to divert attention
