A group of men sat in a corner of a tavern somewhere in the southern region.
They were all dressed in black robes and carried long swords on their backs. Each one of them had an imposing qi aura, except for one of the old men who seemed unremarkable like a mundane person.
When the people at the neighboring tables glanced over, they would be shocked.
That person was clearly a monster in the State of the Nascent Soul.
They found it hard to believe that a Nascent Soul monster would appear in the tavern. Where were those people from?
There were quite a lot of Golden Core cultivators, but Nascent Soul ones were relatively rare. There were less than a hundred of them in the southern region, and they were scattered all over the place.
Those men drank their liquor silently when one of them suddenly cursed, “Dammit, we’ve searched for so long, but there’s not even a single clue. We’ve almost covered the entire southern region.”
“Sigh! Where did that supervillain come from? He should have a heritage. It’s impossible that he did not leave a single trace behind.”
The group of people sighed miserably.
“The sect leader has been killed twice already, and he’s losing his mind. We won’t be able to return if we don’t find any clues.”
Even the old man had a miserable look on his face. He was extremely depressed.
As the people continued drinking, someone barged in through the door and shouted excitedly, “Extra! Extra! That anonymous prodigy has appeared again!”
In an instant, the group of people sat up on alert.
‘Anonymous prodigy?
‘Is he talking about Nameless Qin?’
Their eyes lit up, and they stood up excitedly.
The tavern was also in a commotion. The anonymous prodigy was very famous in the southern region, and he could be considered the number one prodigy.
“Where is he?” Someone immediately asked anxiously.
“Hah! He’s at Rainbow Mountain. That guy is quite brazen. He stole the ball of elemental fire and killed many people. They’re hunting him down right now!” The person said after catching his breath.
“Martial Mountain, the Yue family, and the Hundred Kingdoms are part of the pursuers. The entire world is hunting him down. This’ll be interesting!” The person seemed emotional when he said that.
The last time someone got the entire region to hunt him down was many, many years ago.
“The entire world? Are you exaggerating?” Someone said and shook his head. “This time, that kid is dead for sure!”
No matter how powerful that kid might be, he was only in the awakening period. If so many people were going after him, he could not defend against them all.
Some customers immediately stood up and paid the bill, ready to go and join in the fun.
They did not want to miss a rare grand event like that.
The group of people in black robes were first excited, then became anxious. The old man slapped his thigh and cried out, “This is bad. Let’s go quickly! We can’t let that kid die!”
He rushed out hurriedly while cursing, “Sigh, he’s such a menace. He can’t even behave in the real world.”
The others quickly followed him.
They wished that they could kill that supervillain, but they could not. If they did so, his two dark gold shards would be lost forever.
They had to capture that kid, bring him to the Void Realm, kill him there to loot his dark gold shards, then kill him in the real world.
Many people from the major factions heard the news and rushed toward Rainbow Mountain.
…
The sky turned dark again.
A black figure was traveling at a blinding speed on a barren mountain.
Not long after that figure left, many figures dressed in beast hides rushed over. They all had all sorts of tribal tattoos on their faces and gave off a primal and wild aura.
The person in the lead sniffed and pointed in a direction. “Over there!”
“Let’s go!”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The figures continued to give chase.
More people followed behind them. Some were flying, and some were running. They filled the sky and the earth.
“Stop running away, you filthy brat!”
“Dammit, how can that brat be so fast? He’s even faster than my bird mount!”
The group of pursuers seemed rowdy.
Everyone was getting frustrated after chasing that kid for so long. Even those people with bird mounts could not catch up to him, while those that ran on the ground were becoming exhausted.
“He’s too despicable!” They cursed while gnashing their teeth hatefully.
Their fatigue did not dampen their enthusiasm, and they continued to chase.
“What could be the problem?”
Up ahead, Tang Hao pondered while running.
He had checked the sword carefully and found nothing wrong with it. He also checked the other loot. Moreover, those people did not know that he was the one who robbed them.
He had also changed his qi aura many times. It would have been impossible to track him down with his qi aura!
Smell? That should not be the case either.
He heard a faint commotion behind him and turned around. His expression was grave.
He could not return to the valley in his current state. If he did, he would expose the existence of the valley.
“I can only run!”
He had no other choice.
After running for a while, he took out a map and studied it.
Now that the news had spread, there would definitely be more people coming to chase after him. Some people might try to intercept him from the other direction, so he had to find a way to avoid them.
As he ran, he considered some places where they might set up ambushes.
After thinking for a moment, he turned and sprinted to the left.
Unfortunately, he made the wrong decision. He soon heard a commotion in front of him and saw a mass of people charging toward him.
“This is bad!” Tang Hao’s expression changed.
After thinking for a moment, he sped up and continued to rush forward.
Those people cried out in alarm when they saw him.
“It must be that kid. Quick, charge!”
They were excited, and their eyes lit up as they charged forward.
Tang Hao dodged the attacks targeted at him and charged into the crowd.
“Ahh!” “Ahh!” Many people were sent flying as they screamed in agony.
The sky was very dark, and the mountainous terrain was shrouded in fog. The situation was getting more and more chaotic.
“Huh? The kid suddenly disappeared!”
“Where is he?”
They suddenly realized that the kid was gone.
“He must be hiding among us. Let’s find him.”
They looked at each other and began to search.
After a while, the figures in beast hides rushed over.
“It’s the barbarians!”
“Damn! Why are the barbarians here?”
The crowd cried out in a low voice.
The barbarians were surprised when they saw the crowd in front of them. Then, they looked at the person who led their group.
That person closed his eyes, sniffed, and charged into the crowd. Wherever he went, the crowd made a path for him.
After a moment, the leader of the barbarians stopped and looked around. Suddenly, his gaze focused on a person in the crowd.
“That’s him!”
He raised his hand and pointed at Tang Hao hiding in the crowd.
“So it’s because of him!”
Tang Hao’s gaze narrowed with killing intent.
