Forsaken Immortals

Chapter 85 - Robbing

"Although she has been, well, partly consumed by some beasts, her death was caused by human hand. Look at the clean cut on her throat, which has severed the head from the rest of the body.

"We searched the surroundings for a long time, but there were no traces of anyone. Nor have there been any traces of robbery on Princess Xing’s body, all her valuables are still there.

"What’s more, her clothes were all intact; no one has defiled her. She was directly killed, so I have the feeling that someone harbored a grudge against her, and took the chance to release their anger on her when they met her in the forest."

The Emperor listened to the young expert’s detailed and reasonable arguments, and he felt relieved that Princess Xing had not been defiled, but he was sorrowful to know that she had been killed.

Knowing that his favorite daughter had died, the Emperor was feeling regretful. Would she still be alive, had he not held the Royal Hunting Feast?

The Emperor was unhappy. He knew that it was impossible to find the killer now, but he was still unresigned to this outcome.

Everyone started moving towards the exit in the forest, as the time limit was about to end.

While Bai Rouyun had been capable of avoiding a lot of people up until now, but it was impossible to continue avoiding them.

There was only one exit, and the closer one came to it, the more people they would encounter.

As such, many began fighting, as they wanted to rob the others of their possessions, and they split up into bigger groups, where they fought each other.

Only Bai Rouyun was alone, but she was not scared of these people. She knew her own strength, and as long as the groups were not larger than ten members, then she had faith in herself being able to escape from them.

She had already used her Flowing Feather Step to flee from two groups of people who wanted to deal with her.

As she was fleeing, her eyes suddenly darkened. She understood clearly that initially these people would not have more beast cores than her, but now they had started robbing each other. The strongest group, the Crown Prince’s group, would end up with the majority of all the Beast Cores.

Although she could defeat them if they did not rob, could she do the same if one guy had gathered almost every beast core that the other people had gotten?

Realizing this, Bai Rouyun’s eyes turned solemn, and she turned around in an instant, turning back towards the groups who had chased her before.

She was going to change from being the hunted to becoming the hunter.

Like this, she silently glided through the forest, on the lookout for experts she could rob.

Bai Rouyun was not a saint. While she was trying to avoid being too evil, these people had tried to rob her earlier, so there was nothing wrong with returning the favor.

A cunning smile appeared on her lips, as she moved towards the location where she last saw the group, and when she got close, she could hear the sound of people fighting.

It seemed that the two groups who had previously chased her had now met each other. This was perfect; she could become the fisherman reaping all the benefits.

Sneaking towards the outskirts of the battlefield, she found two experts who had gotten a bit further away from the others, smiling sweetly. Her face was innocent and adorable at this point in time, but her eyes were filled with malice.

Flowing Feather Step!

Mountain Shattering Fist!

Bai Rouyun appeared like a shadow behind one of the two combatants, her hand clenched into a fist, as she hit the expert behind his neck, causing him to collapse, unconscious.

Then she smiled at the other expert, who was staring at her with big eyes full of shock.

Qi Blade!

Another expert fell to the ground as the Qi Blade cut him. He was not dead but seriously injured.

Without caring for the two unconscious people, Bai Rouyun grabbed their bags, weighed them in her hands, and saw how many beast cores were within, and she could not help but frown. One had around twenty, while the other had even fewer, around fifteen.

This was like nothing, but when small streams were added together, they could also become a big river, so even though it was a meager start, it was better than nothing.

Leaving the two unconscious people on the ground, Bai Rouyun withdrew as silently as she had arrived, before she continued to the other end of the battlefield. Here another two had managed to go a bit further away than planned, and she quickly took them both out by using the Mountain Shattering Fist attacks twice.

Their bags contained a few more beast cores; in total, they had forty-three.

Bai Rouyun smiled. While it was still nothing compared to what she had gotten herself, it was always better to have more beast cores.

She continued to hide in the shadows and strike when people got just a slight distance away from the center.

Soon the group of combatants had fallen from twenty-four to sixteen. But they were so focused on the fight that they did not notice how people kept vanishing one after another.

Bai Rouyun could not help but smile, as she greedily looked at the many experts. She did not see them as humans. Instead, all she could see were moving Beast Cores. Lots of beast cores that all were waiting for her to pick them up.
