These individuals scattered around Shadowslash were part of a bandit hunter group.

Shadowslash wouldn't bother these kind of people if they hadn't bothered him but they found him when he was dealing with a bandit group so they thought he was also a bandit and they even thought he was the bandit leader.

​​

"Why can't you listen to what I was saying?" Shadowslash could only shake his head when he looks at the people scattered around him.

He had already tried to reason with these guys and yet they did not listen to him they all the thought he was lying to escape.

"So do you guys still think that I am lying?" Hearing his question groans sounded out in the cave.

The bandit hunters shook their head they now realized that they were clearly in the wrong they are thankful that Shadowslash seems to be a nice guy.

Shadowslash just let's out a laugh, he then looks at these bandit hunters scattered everywhere and said "I'll leave these scums to you guys."

He then jumps off the rock he was sitting upon but before he could leave the leader of the bandit hunters spoke "Wait!"

Shadowslash froze he then looks at him in a puzzled manner so did the others.

The bandit hunter asks "Before you leave may I have the honor to hear your name?"

Shadowslash smiled and said "Hahaha I like your personality if you want to challenge me again come find me in Thousand Race Kingdom."

"Names Shadowslash."

He then left the cave what he did not know is that his last words truly hit the bandit hunter group deeply.

The name "Shadowslash" is quite sacred to Thousand Forest Continent and none dared to impersonate him since it would result on being hunted by the Thousand Race Kingdom and all of its vassals.

For anyone to use that name so casually there is only two reasons that came up on anyone's mind on Thousand Forest Continent.

First either that person is insane because no matter how courageous you are or how stupid you are it was an insane thing to do since it only leads to your death.

The second reason is quite unbelievable because that meant that it was the real Shadowslash that have introduced himself.

The bandit hunters looks at each other and they have the same thing on their mind.

'Did we really encountered the king of Thousand Race Kingdom?'

Elsewhere Shadowslash was now running atop a lake because of his speed he wasn't sinking.

'I never thought that this continent would change so much in just a couple of months' He thought.

But he quickly shook his head and stops running he then closed his eyes and sensed the energy and the surrounding aura he quickly realised something 'No it's not changing, this continent was actually returning to its former state that is why the beings on this continent managed to adapt rapidly.'

His eyes flashes he then looks towards a certain direction and thought 'That nine dragon head gate might have something hidden on it.'

He then thought of Scarlet and he now have the confidence of undoing her seal but he had to deal with her race first.

Far from him Sans and Leafinia was now travelling at incredible speed there are no longer any soldier around the two they have left them behind.

The two do not need to rest and so does their mount, the deer that Leafinia was riding is both an elemental beast and not at the same time.

It doesn't need any energy to act as all it needs was the nature energy around it and with Leafinia on top of her that meant she has unlimited nature energy supply.

Leafinia spoke "What do you think is the reason why master would always stop on his journey?"

Sans answered like it was matter of a fact "Of course it is to appreciate the view."

Leafinia immediately giggles and agrees "Yes considering master's personality I could see that happening."

She then sighed and spoke "I wish my Treants could travel a bit faster."

Sans "It's okay even though we couldn't give master such a grand greeting like we had planned at least we wouldn't disappoint him."

Hearing this Leafinia also raises her chest proudly, after digesting a part of the tree of life inheritance her level was now so high that the continent needed to suppress her.

The only ones that is equal to her were Gulli and Sans, she could definitely obtain the title of the strongest being in the continent when Shadowslash wasn't present.

Sans was too busy and he would go to the Undead World frequently and Gulli is still staying on the Demon Realm.

Only Leafinia is always present on the kingdom and because she was idle she had been working on a project that increases the defense of Thousand Race Kingdom.

She had scattered the seeds that she had created throughout the forests in Thousand Race Kingdom.

All of those seeds would grow as tree spirits and many of them would become Treant and even though she wouldn't be raising them they would still have undying loyalty towards her.

Other than powerful combat prowess the Treants also exude large amount of vitality that is helpful to the growth of plants and as more natural energy develops other spirits pertaining to nature would grow and thrive.

But because of her actions Sans could no longer release his undeads but he doesn't mind with his personal secret realm he doesn't need to release his undead subordinates to roam around.

But it was clearly uncomfortable to him, Allicia and Lisa.

Allicia owns all the red light district on Thousand Race Kingdom, unlike most red light districts her district does not promote violence just numerous bars and hotel.

Now that she have obtained a method to return to Demon World she had been going in and out of there and subduing many of her kinds.

Even though she had them work on her red light district they have been thriving because of it.

But there is one absolute rule that they should never break and that is to drain a man of all of his life.

Working with her is Lisa she was still the head of the Secret Division on Thousand Race Kingdom.

Because of her devotion on her job none of the brothel managers on the red light district have broke any rules because if they did then their lives would be forfeited.

Sans is quite proud with the accomplishment of his three undead subordinates, the last undead subordinate that he hadn't forced to stay with him was Glasses.

Glasses wasn't uncomfortable with the life energy on the kingdom the reason for this is because he was now both not a living human nor an undead you could call him an immortal creature.

He had participated on an experiment that made him undergo a baptism with Sans death Qi and Leafinia's life energy.

Sure it was extremely risky but with the help of Shadowslash's hidden sect realm the Safehaven Paradise, Yshelia's mastery over the runes and spiritual energy, Sans control over Death Qi and Leafinia's overwhelming vitality and his unique soul composition he managed to survive albeit barely.

Glasses was still experiencing mild infirmity because of it and his combat prowess is now at the lowest level in his group.

This should be considered as a failure but for him it was not, now because of his experience he was now training at using only his spiritual sense and training to be a powerful formation master.

He got all the time he needs he was now training to be a rune master under Yshelia's tutelage.

Other than that he was accumulating as much knowledge as he could he wanted to balance his worth, now that his strength isn't considered much he wanted to offset it with his knowledge.

He was now trying to become this world's number one scholar with his immortality it is possible.

Sans and Leafinia haven't said it yet but the two of them were actually competing throughout these past months.

With Sans three capable subordinates Leafinia is actually in a disadvantageous position but with the elves working with her she is confident that her performance is much greater than Sans.

While the two were traveling in an extremely fast speed to meet their master, the person that they are now wanting to meet is now standing on a devastated village filled with corpses scattered everywhere.

There bodies of females that was laid bare on the ground judging from their appearance it seems that they have been defiled to death.

There are also a number of corpses belonging to children.

Shadowslash might not be a saint but as long as he encountered an accident like this he would still be piss off.

His eyes flashes as he quickly summon his ten clones and have them scatter trying to find any clues to where the people responsible for this went to.
