Chapter 87 - The Return of Nina (2/2)

The person in the red cloak, who jumped out from the tree disappeared just as fast as he came. When he showed up again, he was standing on a branch of another tall tree.

The person in red cloak seemed as though he was one with the forest. The hood of his cloak as well as the leaves of the tree obscure his face, so no one could see his appearance. It looked like he was the lord of the forest, a skilled hunter stalking and playing with his prey. It was as though every corner of the forest was in his grasp.

The battle had gone for some time and even attracted some people seeking for the treasure as well.

” Who is that young lady and why did she do to make the personal force of the Uncrowned Emperor, one of the twelve dragon pillars to chase after her.” Uttered an old and experienced warrior who caught a glimpse at the person in the red cloak.

” Who is she?.” Many people couldn't recognize her, so they were surprised.

” Even though her cultivation is only a 5th rank warrior, she was still able to withstand the pursuit of a member of the Twelve Dragon Pillars. From what I know, every member of the Twelve Dragon Pillars was at least a 6th rank expert. So why don't I know someone as powerful and young as her.” Said an old man while looking at the wounded young girl whose body was emanating a cold aura.

” Miss. You won't be able to escape. This continent might be vast, but there's nowhere you can go that we won't find you.” The person in the red cloak has already long descended on the ground and glared at the young girl: ” Be smart and come with me without any resistance. His Highness just want to talk to you”

People who knew about the twelve Dragon pillars didn't know what the Uncrowned Emperor wanted from that young girl, but it must be something extremely important if he personally sent one of the members of the Twelve Dragon Pillars to personally chaste after her.

Despite being badly injured, the young girl stood up and coldly retorted: ” Never.” Even under such a peril situation and dire straits, she refused to give up.

” If you keep on being stubborn, you can't blame me for being merciless. You asked for it by opposing his highness the Uncrowned Emperor.” The eyes of the man in red cloak turned cold with bloodthirst.

” This is my territory and the Uncrowned Emperor is nothing here.” A voice slowly came about as a young man a simple black attire came forward.

” The Imperial freak is here.” Someone shouted as he saw the young man.

” Even the Imperial freak is here too.” Many of the people gave way after seeing Shad. In fact, the majority of them shuddered since they knew that his coming meant bad things were going to happen.

The man in red cloak coldly glared at Shad with a pair of eyes that flashed. As for the wounded young girl, she heaved a sigh of relief after seeing him. This young girl was none other than Nina who came to meet Shad in the Southern region of the Mulan kingdom.
