“Let’s go! We must kill her!”
The two Spiritual Lords spoke in unison.
However, when they started chasing her, they realized how fast the girl was.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
She zigzagged through the woods like a nimble cat.
Soon, they lost sight of her.
How did that happen?
The two Spiritual Lords saw surprise in each other’s eyes.
It shouldn’t have happened…
They had both been Level 1 Spiritual Lords before, so they knew better than anyone else how big the gap was between the two levels.
No matter how talented the girl was, she couldn’t suddenly disappear from sight, unless…
“She’s hiding somewhere!”
The two men looked at each other.
“Find her!”
The Level 4 man gestured at the other man.
They each chose a direction and searched two different areas, hoping that they would soon find Feng Wu.
The Level 3 man nodded.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
They quietly flitted through the woods without making a sound.
Suddenly, the Level 3 man sensed something amiss, because he noticed that the spiritual essence seemed to be flowing in a certain direction.
Immediately, he turned in that direction.
Soon, he reached an old tree so thick that three people would only just be able to get their arms around it.
The leaves of the old tree had turned yellow, and the bark was covered with dots. It looked like it was going to collapse at any moment.
The Spiritual Lord stopped and stared at a spot in the tree. He narrowed his eyes.
He looked pleased.
He had a speculation, and he was going to prove it.
He touched the tree trunk.
If he had stuck to the plan, he should have called for his Level 4 friend, but the reward of killing Feng Wu all by himself was too generous to resist.
If he could kill her on his own, why share? The man immediately gave up on the idea of waiting for his friend.
However…
He was perplexed.
Before they had set out, they were told that their target was a girl who was a Level 7 Spiritual Elder, but this girl was a Level 1 Spiritual Lord.
Could there have been a mistake?
With that question in mind, the man peeled off the rotten tree bark.
Soon, he saw a stunningly beautiful face.
Yes! She was his target!
The man nodded.
Their captain had shown them her portrait before they left, and they had all studied it carefully.
It was a portrait of their target.
The captain had also told them something else.
“She’s only a Level 7 Spiritual Elder, but she’s very lucky. Anything can happen.
“Don’t be arrogant just because you’re all Spiritual Lords. Don’t let your guard down. She has killed Spiritual Lords before.
“No matter what happens, don’t lose your target!
“If you can kill her, the reward will be beyond your imagination!
“Don’t be reckless!”
