One figure runs and another chase. Most of the people within the Dragonsvein Kingdom are normal Martial practitioner of rank 1 while being a rank 2 Martial Practitioner will already give you privileges. Normal citizens could only feel a fast breeze brushing past against them while the Martial Practitioner could barely see the two running figures.
The chase has been going on for more than one hour now, and the local guards have also been informed, it was an extremely rare sight of a lady fiercely running after a man.
Unfortunately, the two's running speed was too fast for the guards to follow.
'Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!!' Xu Long have almost used up his Qi. And he could only support himself using his advantage of experience within this place, he has also used several tricks to throw off this Gu Xiao Li, but no matter what he just couldn't throw her off! It seems like she had put something on him!
He has been waiting for Rui Wei's orders. But the talisman that Rui Wei gave her beforehand had still not lit up!
'Guh! Should I ask for backup?' Going by the rumors circulating around, Gu Xiao Li has recently entered the 4th rank and is a dual Elementalist.
While Xu Long is merely a Body Cultivator, he had no talent regarding elements! Xu Long is a 4th rank Martial Artist if Gu Xiao Li was not a dual Elementalist he would have some advantages!
Unbeknown for Xu Long, Gu Xiao Li had her patience ran out. Gu Xiao Li's hands flickered as a silver needle came out.
Looking more carefully, this silver needle is shining with violet luster. It is a poisoned needle, Gu Xiao Li initially did not want to use this, since this is only a prototype needle, the poison could also be seen.
"Guaah!!" Xu Long suddenly felt an intense pain coming from his legs, the pain quickly traveled through his body which rendered him completely immobilized.
"I can't move!"
His body flew over a few meters before rolling down the floor.
'Haa, Haa... Dirty bastard you almost had me there.' Gu Xiao Li wiped the sweat from her forehead, she then slowly walked towards Xu Long.
*Kicks*
Gu Xiao Li flipped over Xu Long's barely conscious body using her feet.
"Where the hell is it?"
Gu Xiao Li ravaged through Xu Long's body, but could not find the manual--
"His spatial bag!" Gu Xiao Li then connected her Qi to Xu Long's Spatial Bag, and she then started to look for the manual.
While she was busy looking at the Spatial bag. A figure had appeared right behind her--
"Watch out!" The Ancient Jade snake spirit inside the ring shouted.
*BAM*
A Light of protective Qi shrouded Gu Xiao Li's body, protecting her from the incoming force.
Stolen novel; please report.
"What...?" Gu Xiao Li jumped in shock as she looked back, only to see an empty space. She looked everywhere for the enemy, unfortunately, she could not find anything wrong with her surroundings.
There was no fluctuation of Qi in the surroundings, it means that the enemy had simply used their physical speed to attack.
"What had just happened?" Gu Xiao Li asked the Ancient Jade Snake, she is currently confused on the current situation, from within her enhanced senses, she could not sense anything strange within the surroundings, so she could only rely upon the Almighty Ancient Beast, the Jade Snake.
".... Run! Forget about the damned manual! Your life is at the stake here!" The Ancient Jad Snake urgently shouted.
Hearing this, Gu Xiao Li's was quite hesitant, after all that skill was a really good one! And she has already cultivated the first part of manual!
"What?! Do you want to turn into a meat paste!? Even I have to admit that this opponent of yours is pretty formidable as I could not sense their presence! And that attack just now did not contain any hostility but if I did not protect you just then, you could have turned into dust with your current level!" The Jade Snake spoke quickly that it was almost as if he talked in fast forward.
"..." Gu Xiao Li could only grumble and swear inside her mind. Her feet tapped the ground, then her body blurred and disappeared on the scene.
Minutes after Gu Xiao Li's figure is gone. The empty space beside the unconscious Xu Long started to distort, and soon Rui Wei's form was revealed.
"Ancient Beast, Snake Jade of the Heavenly Jade Palace?" Rui Wei muttered, scratching her cheeks she looks towards the direction where Gu Xiao Li run, on Rui Wei's left hand she is holding an ancient looking book, and written on the page she is currently reading is;
Calendar of Snake Scale, The year of 1000- 1100;
"Snake Jade Head Master of Heavenly Jade Palace- In the year of Snake Scale 1090, he suddenly disappeared without a trace.
"Lou Mu You- Jade Snake's succeeding disciple rightfully claimed the position of Head Master inside the Heavenly Jad Palace."
'To think that her portable oldgrandpa would turn out to be a headmaster of some clan... That's quite of a cheat you've got there hey!' Rui Wei laughed bitterly as she waved her hands and kept the book on her spatial ring. Now looking at the battered up Xu Long, Rui Wei felt slightly guilty.
"Ahaha..." Rui Wei laughed as she extended her arms and executed a healing spell.
Her hands emitted a warm blue light, the light shone upon Xu Long's unconscious body. Xu Long's scrunched fave started to relax, as his injuries healed in a speed visible to the naked eyes.
"Hmmm...?" Rui We's brows locked together as she looked weirdly at Xu Long.
The spell she just used is one of the water mages signature move: "Healing Hands"
It is named as such one had to use their hands to channel their Qi to the other party and heal them. There are multiple ways to heal someone but the methods of Water Mages are the most efficient.
What confused Rui Wei is the Qi consumption of this spell, it used to consume at least 1/8 of the Qi on her dantian, which means she could only use it 8 times, but right now, she had only gathered a small amount of Qi on her surroundings. And the spell was successfully executed.
"Oh..." Rui Wei's train of thoughts was cut off as one of her talisman lit up.
"Aiyah... It's Ruzi again." Rui Wei chuckled as she set aside the mystery of her new ability. She picked up Xu Long's body and dashed towards the direction of the Zu Clan.
--
The Zu Clan, Main House;
Zu Shu, the Zu Matriarch hummed in a cheerful manner, as she fluently signed the paperwork in front of her. She is clearly in a good mood. She is really lucky this time, after all the trouble that she has been stressing over had been solved by its own, how could she not be happy?
As she was happily humming, she felt a force approaching their Clan.
"Hmm? That was quite fast." Zu Shu cleaned her table and kept her paperwork within her Spatial Ring. She snapped her finger and instruct the servants to bring two sets of tea.
As the servants left the room, the door once again opened.
"Oh..." The words that she was about to say was stuck in her throat as she looked with disbelief at the person who just arrived.
"What's with that face?" Rui Wei raised one of her brows.
She threw Xu Long's body on the floor in a nonchalant manner and sat to the opposite of Zu Shu.
Xu Long's face frowned as he felt the impact.
