Chapter 156 Book 4 Long Hai's Secret

The dense forest east a bit of a distance from Xian Town was shrouded in the moon's silver glow, its light casting eerie shadows upon the damp earth. The hideout of the Grizzly Paw Bandits stood silent, its walls bearing the scars of recent battle. Long Hai's breath came in sharp bursts as he sprinted through the underbrush, his keen eyes fixed on the dark silhouette ahead—the assassin, lithe and swift, her black robes blending seamlessly into the night.

The chase had begun the moment she realized she was exposed. As the two run one chasing and one feeling, Long Hai notices that there are a few corpses within the hideout.

"Did this assassin kill the patrolling bandits?" he frowned.
