Chapter 241: Chapter 241

There was no evidence anyway, so they didn't need to worry about anything. At most, they would stop doing such things in the future, or wait until the heat died down before resuming.

Xiaoyao had to be caught. Otherwise, how could they swallow this humiliation? There was another point, they felt that if they captured Xiaoyao, dealing with those other people would be the same. Perhaps there was still time, but the reverse wouldn't work. If they gave up on Xiaoyao, there would definitely be no chance to catch him.

Moreover, the most important point was that they couldn't guarantee that after abandoning Xiaoyao, he would obediently leave. Perhaps he would continue setting traps for them.

So, no matter which angle they considered it from, Xiaoyao had to be caught. They also had to transfer manpower to bring everyone back. As for the others, they could let them run for a while. In this uncertain situation where they didn't know if the opponents could escape, perhaps this would be more thrilling.

Feng Hai had considered having his subordinates directly kill the people who were being hunted. This was feasible, but it would come at a cost. To ensure their own entertainment, they had captured martial artists as prey. Those subordinates might not be able to kill these martial artists with complete certainty, and even if they could, there might be casualties.

And if they acted but someone still escaped, the situation would be even harder to explain. It was better to let it go for now and temporarily ignore those people.

When those people discovered that the ones tracking them seemed to be disappearing, their minds filled with doubt. But at this moment, no one would linger for this reason. Instead, they seized this opportunity to quickly escape the situation. Currently, fleeing this place was the most important thing.

After these people escaped with their lives, they still didn't know the reason behind it all. It wasn't until the Azure Dragon Society and other sects issued martial world execution orders that they learned a bit of the possibility. It turned out that those young masters and other second-generation members had all been killed by someone, which was why they hadn't been pursued.

They didn't know who this person was who had eliminated those scumbags. Without him, they wouldn't have been able to survive. If they knew his name, they would definitely set up a longevity memorial tablet for him.

At this time, only one person guessed a bit of the truth, but she quickly dismissed this possibility. She was the girl who had some conversation with Xiaoyao. When she discovered that those following her were retreating backward, she was a bit puzzled. When she found that not only those following her but all the others were also going back, she became even more confused.

Could it be that they encountered a powerful enemy and needed manpower to return and help? That should be the only possibility. Otherwise, such a situation wouldn't occur.

But who was this powerful enemy? Could it be that young man from before? Impossible. He was just one person, and his strength wasn't that great. Not to mention those people going back to help, even those scumbags, just a few of them coming out randomly could have dealt with him.

Hmm, impossible, absolutely impossible.

There must be someone else.

Regardless of whether there was someone else, she couldn't let this opportunity slip by. She had to escape first. Azure Dragon Society, you just wait, I will definitely avenge this grudge.

"Still nothing? Impossible. Could he have escaped to the front? But there have been people guarding there all along. It should be impossible." Feng Hai and the others fell into confusion because after searching carefully again, they still hadn't found Xiaoyao. They could be certain that Xiaoyao was no longer in this area.

Since Xiaoyao wasn't in this area, he must be fleeing ahead. At least that's what they thought.

So Feng Hai and the others began pursuing toward the front, still with a bunch of subordinates leading the way in front, and the people were relatively dispersed. Even if they hit traps, it would only affect one person.

This was also to avoid slowing down their speed and not give Xiaoyao a chance to set traps. Even if they had to pay sacrifices for this, it was better than being led around by the nose by Xiaoyao, which would result in even more deaths.

What made them feel very strange was that after pursuing for about ten li, until the sky turned dark, they still hadn't found any trace of Xiaoyao. At the same time, they hadn't found the other people either. Originally, those people had already run far away, and with Xiaoyao's interference, they had run even farther.

Moreover, they had been running desperately the whole time. Even when night fell, they continued running desperately until they felt safe before stopping to rest.

"Have some people continue pursuing to see if there are any traces. The others rest. In this mountain range, although there aren't those high-level monster beasts, there are still quite a few dangerous monster beasts. It's not suitable to act at night." Feng Hai and the others didn't plan to pursue through the night. Not only was it unsafe, but they were also noble children of heaven. For them, they needed to eat well and sleep well. They wouldn't stay up all night for such matters.

Plus, it was indeed not very safe here at night. Nocturnal monster beasts were also very dangerous. Anyway, the subordinates would continue searching. Of course, whether their subordinates would be in danger wasn't their concern.

At night, they also had people strengthen their defenses, fearing Xiaoyao might launch a surprise attack. But Xiaoyao didn't appear. Even when dawn broke and everyone had awakened, there was still no sign of Xiaoyao. The people ahead also reported back, they hadn't discovered any trace of Xiaoyao, though they had found a few slower "prey."

Feng Hai and the others had no interest in the other people. So when their subordinates asked for instructions on what to do, they just told them to continue searching for Xiaoyao and ignore everything else.

Another half day passed. They had advanced quite a distance but still hadn't found any trace of Xiaoyao. This forced them to speculate, could it be that...

"Feng Hai, has that kid already escaped?" someone asked.

"Right, is he afraid of us? He has no more ability to continue causing us trouble, so he can only flee. Or maybe he planned to escape from the beginning," another person suspected.

"Exactly, that's right." someone agreed.

"This is possible. This time we might have been played. If he escapes, we're screwed. If he doesn't escape, we're also screwed." Feng Hai said. He didn't want to admit this point, but he had to.

Now, regardless of what Xiaoyao did, they were screwed. The only difference was the degree of how screwed they were.

"So what should we do now?" someone asked. The current situation was very conflicting for them. They didn't know what path to take.

"What can we do? It seems we can't find him. Going after those people now doesn't interest me either," Feng Hai frowned. "But killing them. I feel anger has no way to be vented."

The current situation was . Feng Hai and the others were very depressed. This anger needed to be vented, so they would probably all choose to continue the pursuit and killing.

"Right, this anger can't be vented. We must find that kid. Even if we can't find him, we have to kill the others. Kill as many as we can... Ah..."

Just as the person speaking was talking, an arrow appeared at his throat, an arrow that had pierced through his throat.

This sudden change threw Feng Hai and the others into chaos. They first looked toward the direction the arrow came from. Originally, they didn't hold much hope and didn't expect to discover anything, but unexpectedly, they saw a human figure.

When they saw clearly, they discovered that this figure was the person they had been searching for, Xiaoyao.

Xiaoyao stood on a treetop, holding a bow in one hand and making a gesture of drawing an empty bowstring with the other. Obviously, this indicated that the arrow just now had been shot by him. Orıginal content can be found at novel{f}ire.net

At this moment, Feng Hai and the others were all stunned. They never expected that Xiaoyao would still appear, and appear so boldly, arrogantly killing one of their people.

This made the anger in their hearts begin to soar, and Xiaoyao then said one more sentence afterward:

"Another one. Kill as many as I can."

"Kill him." Feng Hai and the others roared in fury, launching attacks toward Xiaoyao. Of course, at that distance, it was impossible to cause any harm to Xiaoyao. It was all futile.

Xiaoyao had already calculated his safe distance. Not only could they not attack him at their current distance, but even if they advanced dozens of meters or more, they still couldn't attack Xiaoyao.

At this moment, Xiaoyao instantly shot several more arrows. Taking advantage of the irrational anger of those people, he seized the opportunity to harvest several more lives. Each arrow pierced through throats.

All of these people were the second-generation members, not one of them was an unimportant subordinate fighter. Xiaoyao's targeting was very precise, prioritizing these people. He would kill other people if needed, but if not needed, he was too lazy to bother. These fighters would immediately scatter once those second-generation members were gone.

"Defend. Quick, defend." Feng Hai realized the situation was wrong and immediately shouted. "People in front, advance and attack. Don't just stand there stupidly."

Having people defend against Xiaoyao's cold arrows while having those in front advance to attack, this was the fastest choice Feng Hai made. When they began advancing, Xiaoyao decisively gave up attacking and disappeared into the trees.

When those people rushed to Xiaoyao's previous position, they had a question.

Strange, how could his arrows shoot so far and still have such strong killing power.

The distance between Xiaoyao's position and where they were attacked was very long. This was definitely not achievable with ordinary bows and arrows. Even if it were a strong bow, it would be at the end of its strength by that distance. Why could his arrows still pierce through people's throats? What kind of strong bow could accomplish this?

Also, setting aside the strong bow, to control such a strong bow and accurately hit targets at such a long distance, this eyesight and archery skill was extremely terrifying, one could even say unimaginable.

Who exactly was this young man? Not only was he skilled in poison arts and proficient in mechanisms and traps, but now he also had divine archery skills. If someone said he was a small servant, who would believe it?
