Chapter 79: I will make sure that they can't hurt you. “Little brother, send a message back to the sect and let them know that we have found the person who killed sect teacher. Tell them to use the Giant Crows to make it here as fast as possible.” The man who had just shot the arrow turned his head and spoke to the bald man next to him. They could tell that even though this little miss that was running from them looked weak, she was in fact at a higher cultivation level than them. He did not think that she was capable of killing them, she would not be running from them if she was, but it was still best to take some precautions. If they managed to get their other disciples here and surround her, there was less chance of anything dangerous happening. The bald man gave a quick nod of his head before pulling a small jade slip out from one of his pouches. He inserted a small amount of Qi and spoke out the words he wanted transmitted, then he crushed the jade slip. If their fellow disciples used the Giant Crows to catch up, it would only take them around one day to catch up. Their sect was too poor to afford giving all disciples normal Transmission Jades, they could only afford to give them these one time use Transmission Jades whenever they went out on a mission. Since they had already called for reinforcements, the two men slowed down their running speed. They were no longer trying to catch up with Yao Jun and Guo Luo, now they just needed to make sure that they knew where they were at all times. They could deal with them once their fellow disciples arrived. While the two men were following her from behind, Guo Luo's mind was moving at full speed, the pain in her shoulder already completely forgotten. The two men were not far behind her, so how could she not hear what they were saying? Hearing that they had called for reinforcements, she almost started panicking once more. “If only you were awake Jun'er.” No matter how much she thought, she could not come up with any good ideas. She couldn't help but look down at Yao Jun, wishing that he was awake to take control of the situation. She quickly shook her head and threw the thought out of her head. Yao Jun could not and should not take care of any trouble they encountered. She wanted to help him carry the burdens, not sit at the back and watch him deal with them. After she threw the previous thought out of her head, she changed her way of thinking. She asked herself a simple question, if Yao Jun was awake right now, what would he do? She quickly found her answer and made up her mind, a determined expression appearing on her face. She continued to run, but since the two men chasing her had slowed down, she did the same. She was looking for a safe place where she could hide Yao Jun. After spending nearly an hour running, Guo Luo felt that her stamina had been completely exhausted, but she finally found a good place. Around half an hour away from where Little Gray had landed before they entered the city, there was a small mountain, not even a kilometer in height. At the side of the small mountain was a small cave, it was impossible for even Guo Luo to walk upright inside the cave. If she wanted to move inside the cave, she would have to crouch her body. Guo Luo glanced at the two men chasing her, making sure that they were still behind her. After she made sure that they were still there, she suddenly made a sharp turn to the left, running away from the cave she had spotted. The small mountain was surrounded by dense forest, so she immediately dodged behind a tree. The moment she dodged behind the tree and out of sight from the two men, she turned Yao Jun's body upright and hugged it tightly, covering both of them in her Qi. She used her illusions to make the two of them look like they were part of the tree, completely hiding them. She could only make illusions that were about the size of a normal person at the moment, so to cover both of them at the same time required her to tightly hug Yao Jun's body. The two men quickly sped up when they saw Guo Luo take a sharp turn, running after her to make sure that they did not lose sight of her. When they reached the tree where Guo Luo was hiding, she held her breath and looked at them with a nervous gaze, her heart pounding. “Dammit. If we let them get away, our fellow disciples will never forgive us.” The two men did not stop when they reached the tree, quickly running past it as they swept the surroundings with their eyes. The bald man couldn't help but shout out as they kept running. They had them in their grasp, right in front of them, but they had lost them right at the end. After Guo Luo made sure that the two men were a distance away, she slowly walked over to the cave she had found earlier. She dared not release her illusion, so she had to walk while hugging Yao Jun tightly, making it hard to walk too fast. After she reached the cave, she crouched down and dragged Yao Jun after her into the cave. She did not want to drag him along the ground, but there was no other choice right now. She had to crouch down until she was almost kneeling to fit into the cave, there was no way for her to carry Yao Jun's body. “You just wait right here Jun'er, I will make sure that they can't hurt you.” After she had dragged him far enough into the cave that he couldn't be seen from the outside, she gently leaned his body against the cave wall. She gave his face a gentle stroke as she spoke to him, before she turned around and left the cave. After she left the cave, she rubbed the interspatial ring on her right hand and took out her sword, it's pure white blade gleaming under the light of the sun. She shifted the blade from her right hand to her left, with the arrow in her right shoulder, it was impossible for her to properly hold the sword with her right hand. After she grabbed the sword, she started heading in the direction that the two men had ran. If she only lured them away, they would quickly realize that something was wrong. They could then wait for their fellow disciples and give the entire area a thorough scan. If they did that, they would end up finding them, so it was imperative that she took care of the two men.

The Wolf Saga, Wolf that Devours Empires
The Empire of Human is about to enter a turbulent era. A World Power has fallen. But mere hours after dying, he is reborn as a half-human, half-elf boy named Wolf. The story follows this odd boy as he grows up, his relationship with his father and those around him, his lack of common sense from being raised in the wilderness, and his desire for revenge. Witness Wolf's journey as he aspires to climb to the peak of the world to unravel its mysteries, and as he tries to figure out why it’s wrong to decapitate a street thug when the man tries to mug you. “I mean, the man literally said ‘Money or life,’ so what’s the big deal?” Releases Mon/Wen/Fri. (GMT-ish) Trigger warning. The Wolf Saga may not be suited for you if any of the following disturbs you: - The story will have fighting and killing. The gore will not be explicit, but there will be descriptions such as "head burst like a melon", "instantly turned to cinders", "blood splashed/fountained" etc. Most of the violence will be performed by the protagonist, some of it before he reaches his teens. If such scenes bother you, you should probably give Wolf a pass. - The story will have sexual content. It's there for a reason. Once again, these scenes will not be explicit. Genitals will be mentioned sometimes, but never described in detail. Nude bodies will be described in passing, without too many specific details. If you're afraid of nipples, you should probably give Wolf a pass. - The story will have a decent amount of cursing. If you haven't given up by now, this is unlikely to bother you. Still, I believe I should forewarn you that a number of curse words will be making appearance from time to time. - The story will have no small amount of loss for the main character. If you enjoy novels in which everything is fine, the protagonist makes it at the last moment and saves the day... This is not such a story. Life happens. As a reader, I'm annoyed with heroes making it in the nick of time, so for the sake of fairness I used dice on a number of occasions, making do with the result. Sometimes it was anticlimactic, sometimes it was tragic and it led to the story you see before you. Dedication: This story is written for Tired Mom and Wolf, whose arrival the rest of the pack is eagerly awaiting. Thanks: I would like to thank Tired Mom for her proofreading and encouragement over the years. I would like to thank you, Dear Reader, for taking the time to read this big pile of words.
