Forsaken Immortals

Chapter 83 - Traceless Kill

One day, after half the month had gone by, Bai Rouyun was resting in the tree crowns as she heard the sound of people approaching her.

She instantly stiffened her body, lowered her presence, and began breathing lightly, so that she could not be noticed by those who were walking her way.

She was curious, but also alert. She looked down onto the forest floor, and saw a group of youngsters walking around together.

Her eyes narrowed as she recognized them as the Crown Prince, Princess Xing, and a group of their followers.

In total, they were a group of seven experts, and Bai Royun knew that she could not face off against all of them at once. However, her eyes shone with a cunning light. She was not going to let them go free.

They were walking forward in an extremely arrogant way, not keeping a keen eye on their surroundings.

It was clear that they had encountered a few beasts on the way, but due to their arrogance, and the size of their group, they were not meeting many.

Someone like Bai Rouyun, who was working on her own, encountered many more beasts than their big group.

Also, one had to consider that when they were walking in such a big group, who would get the beast core? Obviously, the Crown Prince would take them all, and thus the followers and Princess Xing were actually just his accessories.

Bai Rouyun could not help but smile as she looked at the group that was walking around beneath her, and her smile turned slightly cruel.

The group consisted of six men and one woman. This woman was Princess Xing, and Bai Rouyun felt as if this was a heavenly sent chance to deal with the woman.

There were certain things that women could not do with men around them, such as relieving themselves.

So when the group had walked past Bai Rouyun, she slowly but carefully climbed down from the tree. She carefully, and expertly, followed behind the group, always maintaining a certain distance, but never further away than she could sense them, and hear their voices.

She was calm and collected as she followed them. Soon they found a beast that had not managed to escape in time, and they began battling it out with the beast. During this time, Bai Rouyun hid behind a bush and observed their battle.

The beast they were up against was a second-ranked Silver Fox. The silver fox was a mere Fierce Beast. The bloodline it had was from the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, but it was extremely diluted, making it a Fierce Beast that could, at most, reach the third rank.

But while it was not a magnificent beast with a high bloodline, the people that the Crown Prince had brought with him were all pampered sons of officials, and they needed all seven of them to kill the beast.

When the beast had died, many of the experts had wounds on their bodies; even so, the Crown Prince went to the beast’s head and took the beast core.

He did not care that he had not moved much during the battle; he had already decided that the beast core should belong to him.

And the sons of the officials dared not dispute him. He was the future Emperor, a relationship with him was much better than any prize they could win in this Royal Hunting Feast.

The only one who was slightly disgruntled was Princess Xing, but she knew that she could say nothing about it. She was not strong enough to travel independently, and she knew that the men would rather follow the Crown Prince than her, should she choose to split up.

Bai Rouyun was smiling wickedly as she saw the unhappy expression on Princess Xing’s face. The more upset she was, the better it would be for Bai Rouyun.

"Brother, I need to go to relieve myself," she said, a little upset. She needed to cool her head and not lose her temper in front of the rest of the group.

The Crown Prince was happy with getting a beast core, so he quickly approved with a wave of his hand.

Princess Xing vanished into the dense thicket, and Bai Rouyun smiled sinisterly as she followed behind her.

Bai Rouyun unsheathed her sword. She was not sure how far the princess had planned on going, but she knew that she had to be swift.

Princess Xing went quite far, and sat down on a wooden log, her mood was foul as she kicked the moss with her feet.

Bai Rouyun slowly circled her and went right behind her.

Traceless Kill!

She used her most swift and ruthless skill without holding back. Her cultivation base erupted, and the Qi imbued itself into the sword.

The sudden movement behind her made Princess Xing turn around, and her eyes were full of shock by what she saw.

The shocked expression stayed in her eyes as her head was severed from the neck and rolled away through the shrubs.

With a slight smile, Bai Rouyun wiped her sword on the clothes of Princess Xing, and instead of searching her body for valuables, she sneered as she vanished into the dense forest, never once looking back.

She would have loved to kill the Crown Prince also, but it was impossible to deal with him when he had so many minions around him.

But while she had wanted to kill the Crown Prince, the princess had to die. She would be able to recognize her sword. Hence, there was no way that Bai Rouyun would let her roam free.

Only by killing her could she stay safe. Even though she had taken a risk, she felt it was completely worth it.
