Chapter 725: Shameful Oriole! (1/2)

“Angelic Maiden Nishang, you deserve your reputation. Unfortunately, this is not your Forgotten Mountain and you are currently exhausted. Therefore, it’s best that you follow us to the imperial city. Otherwise, with so many strange magical beasts appearing in the Holy Snow Mountain lately, I won’t be able to ensure your safety.” Orton fearlessly smiled.

It was as he said, the brief exchange with the demon king had drained Lin Nishang’s energy. She couldn’t even beat a Grandmaster Rank puppet master at the moment. And it was not just her, even Cang Lan’s combat ability had also been reduced to a minimum. As for Jiao He’s group, several Exquisite Rank puppet masters were not enough in front of the entire Snow Lion Corps.

In other words, the situation was in favor of Orton.

“You’ve always been here?!” Lin Nishang clenched her jaw as fury took over her.

Hearing this, everyone was struck with realization. It turned out that Orton had already arrived very early but not let the Snow Lion Corps make any moves. The reason couldn’t be more obvious: They were the mantis, unaware of him who was the oriole behind them.

“Orton boy! You should know what will happen when you provoke a Legend Rank puppet master, and the one you’re about to provoke is the most difficult one among the three of us!” Cang Lan could not stand it anymore. At this rate, everyone would be taken away by Orton and they didn’t even know what he would do to them.

“Master Cang Lan, I know exactly what I am doing. As for provoking a Legend Rank puppet master, that’s a bit excessive. I hold absolutely no malice towards Angelic Maiden Nishang.” Orton said solemnly, but his plans were in fact otherwise.

Lin Nishang was famous for her beauty as early as 40 years ago. Yet, after 40 years, time seemed to have left no trace on her, she still looked to be in the prime of her youth. Everyone wanted to know how she was able to accomplish this. Reaching the Legend Rank would at most delay the speed of aging, while Lin Nishang was completely unaffected.

In his early years, Orton’s body had been damaged because of warfare for the Snow Kingdom, and his aging speed became twice that of ordinary people. Therefore, he had to find out her secret, and now was the perfect opportunity!

Besides Lin Nishang, Orton was also full of interest in Bai Xiaofei and the others.

Consequently, Orton did not want to let any of them slip through his grasp!

“Is this Leng Hen’s idea?” Cang Lan directly brought up the Snow Emperor.

“Master Cang Lan, a general in the field is not bound by the orders from his sovereign. I’m sure His Majesty will understand my difficulties. After all, everything I do is for the kingdom.” Orton paused a little and waved to the soldiers behind him. “Why are you still standing around?! Do you expect me to personally escort our distinguished guests?!”

Upon his order, a group of soldiers quickly started to surround everyone. Jiao He and Fan Xingyu immediately flashed their weapons, only to earn a cold snort from Orton.

“Only two Exquisite Rank puppet masters. You don’t want to force this old man’s hand, do you?”
