Chapter 1445: The invisible marching army

Gu Qing Shan was cooking.

His movements were quick and efficient, so food was served in almost no time at all.

Everyone helped carry Shroud so that he could sit while leaning on a tree.

Gu Qing Shan prepared a bowl of soup and handed it to Reneedol.

Reneedol received the bowl, then fed Shroud bit by bit.

Epta used her healing spell on him again, while Scarlet used several supportive spells to aid and stimulate Shroud’s body in recovering.

After finishing one bowl, Shroud gestured that he didn’t want to eat anything else.

Atley searched for a bit of dry grass in order to make a small bed, then helped Shroud lie back down.

Shroud closed his eyes and rested.

Gu Qing Shan silently nodded as he observed them.

These young people are still quite pure of heart, treating their wounded companion so well.

“Come, we should eat as well” Gu Qing Shan told everyone.

Several crude containers were laid on the ground, but the food inside was giving off an incredibly delicious smell.

Everyone had been fighting while fleeing for a while, then so many things happened recently for the entire night all the way until dawn. All of them had been in a state of constant high alert, so it wasn’t until they inhaled the aroma from this food that they noticed how hungry they were.

“We don’t have much, so I hope everyone can make do” Gu Qing Shan said.

They all sat on the ground, each took a set of utensils for themselves, then began to eat.

Gu Qing Shan’s cooking skills were naturally faultless.

Everyone happily ate until they were full. Even Reneedol asked for seconds and drank two full bowls of soup.

At this point, she was still only a young girl who hadn’t even reached 20 years of age, having been through several battles in a row, she was quickly approaching her limit as well.

The meal was done.

Epta and Scarlet volunteered to wash the utensils and cleaned everything up.

Atley stood on top of a tree to keep watch.

Reneedol checked on Shroud a bit and found that he had fallen asleep.

“Rhode, come here for a bit, I have something to say” Reneedol said.

Gu Qing Shan walked to her.

“What’s the matter?” he asked.

Reneedol said: “Where exactly should we head to now, I want to hear your opinion for a bit”

Gu Qing Shan showed a slightly panicked expression and said: “That Red Wraith could pursue us at any moment, so we should probably escape from this wilderness as soon as we can”

Reneedol paused.

Red Wraith is already dead, he died at the hands of the Mara Heavenly King.

I don’t need to tell these people about this.

But should I pursue Mara Heavenly King?

Although Mara Heavenly King is stronger compared to Red Wraith, the Laws of the world have already recovered and Shroud would eventually surpass Mara Heavenly King to become the strongest.

Then, there would be no meaning in searching for Mara Heavenly King either way.

Reneedol pondered for a bit: “When I searched the traces in the wilderness earlier, I found that Red Wraith seemed to have left this area”

Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief and said: “Then, that’s perfect”

“When you went out hunting earlier, which place’s people did you kill?” Reneedol asked.

Gu Qing Shan replied: “I’m not sure either, they seemed to have been constantly on the run. They wanted to eat me when they ran into me——- I think it’s been quite a while since they last ate”

Reneedol muttered: “On the run... meaning, someone was pursuing them”

“Right” Gu Qing Shan said.

“Shroud still hasn’t recovered; we should probably try to not offend anyone for now” Reneedol commented.

“We only need to avoid going in the same direction those people were fleeing from, that way, we should be able to avoid the pursuers as well” Gu Qing Shan said.

He recalled where those men were heading, then pointed Southwest and said: “This direction should be the safest, let’s head in that direction after this”

Right as he said that, Gu Qing Shan noticed numerous threads had appeared on his hand, reaching into every direction.

“Alright, as soon as Shroud wakes up, we should be on our way” Reneedol said.

Gu Qing Shan nodded without changing his expression.

Reneedol went back to taking care of Shroud.

Gu Qing Shan stood still and silently sensed the meaning of these threads.

“An encirclement... that couldn’t be seen...”

He released his inner sight without hesitation to scan across the entire wilderness.

Nothing.

But Gu Qing Shan was able to sense something else probing him in return.

Whoever it was, they were considerably skillful if they could prevent the clairvoyance of inner sight.

Never mind.

I’m currently Rhode, I can’t justify knowing such a thing.

—-I can’t expose myself right now.

With that thought in mind, Gu Qing Shan went to help Epta and Scarlet put their utensils away.

Once that was done, everyone began to sit at the foot of several trees, preparing to rest.

The World Valley had already been destroyed, after several days of continuous battles, everyone felt tired both physically and mentally.

No one could predict what would happen in the future, so they had to take this chance to replenish their strength.

A minute later.

Atley’s voice sounded from the tree above.

“Everyone, stay on your guard. I feel like something isn’t quite right”

Reneedol tiredly opened her eyes, flew on top of the tree and asked: “What’s the situation?”

Gu Qing Shan looked up with an intrigued expression.

—–my inner sight couldn’t discover anything, but Atley was already able to sense it.

On top of the tree, Atley hesitantly explained: “I can sense the wind around us turning a bit strange, they aren’t moving at the same speed in every direction”

Reneedol sensed her surroundings, then turned back to look at Atley.

Her gaze was a bit strange.

“Why can’t I sense anything?” Reneedol asked.

Atley opened his mouth, unsure of what to say.

Under the tree, Gu Qing Shan smiled:

“Atley, a Wind-type Law has recognized you, congratulations!”

Atley was slightly surprised, then became ecstatic.

“Are you sure?” he worriedly asked.

Shroud spoke:

“He’s right. You need to prepare yourself. Perhaps not too long later, an Overlord would take you into the World of Laws to form a covenant with you”

—–perhaps sensing something, he had also woken up.

Gu Qing Shan told everyone: “Since there has been a situation, everyone come here, we’re going to gather around Shroud”

Reneedol and Atley both jumped down from the tree, Epta and Scarlet also gathered around Shroud.

Gu Qing Shan said: “Since Reneedol has Shroud’s powers, she should be the strongest among us right now, so she’ll act first as soon as there is any situation, I’ll make sure to follow up and act as necessary. Atley and Epta should protect Reneedol, Scarlet will focus on reinforcing Reneedol and me with her powers”

Everyone nodded one after another.

“What if many people were coming?” Atley worriedly asked.

“Do you think many people are coming?” Gu Qing Shan instantly asked in return.

“I think so, the wind doesn’t seem to be able to reach us too well. There should be quite a large number of people” Atley replied.

“Then we can’t act alone. Everyone will focus on protecting Shroud as a priority, as soon as a battle breaks out, Reneedol and I will open a path—– they should be coming from the north, so we’re going to break out of the encirclement towards the South” Gu Qing Shan said.

Everyone nodded again.

Reneedol suddenly realized something and looked at Gu Qing Shan.

Rhode.

——he managed to delegate a role for everyone in an extremely short time, while no one even noticed that they had subconsciously agreed with his arrangements.

The Law of Death had never favored any living beings, but he was selected by the Overlord of Death.

As expected, he had redeeming qualities.

While Reneedol was thinking, Rhode’s expression suddenly became stern as he gestured for everyone to keep their guards up.

Everyone silently trembled.

The air around them became silent, the atmosphere clearly became stifled.

Although they still couldn’t see anything, everyone could now sense something amiss.

The grass was laying flat to the ground in large patches as if they were being stepped one by someone.

It was as if something invisible was making its way by the group’s temporary camp.

“Don’t make a sound, the other party doesn’t seem to be aiming for us” Gu Qing Shan whispered.

Everyone made sure to keep quiet.

After a while.

As the entity was about to completely leave the camp behind.

A voice suddenly called out: “Boss, that girlie seems quite decent, should we take her with us?”

Another voice questioned: “Which one?”

“The one in white”

Gu Qing Shan suddenly felt tense.

Reneedol was wearing white.

She was the most beautiful girl in the world, not even the Grand Elder of the World Valley managed to resist her charm.

“Don’t act, sit still and wait” Gu Qing Shan quickly said.

The group were all worried and silently remained still as the invisible figures continued to move around.

After a few moments later, the second voice spoke up again:

“You’re right that she’s decent, but we can’t take her with us”

Without waiting for the group to feel relieved, the voice continued: “Capture her, we’ll discard her at noon”

“Got it, boss” the other voice immediately replied.

This time, the group no longer stayed silent.

“So you had a death wish” Reneedol coldly scoffed.

A faint flow appeared around her body as she prepared to summon a Law Behemoth.

A unified gasp could be heard.

Someone called out: “They’re from the World Valley”

The voice that gave out the order abruptly became high as they shouted: “They are remnants of the World Valley! All hands ready, capture them!”
