Chapter 396 - 396 NOT SOMEONE BUT MANY PEOPLE

396 NOT SOMEONE BUT MANY PEOPLE

Normally, a wolf’s running speed wouldn’t be able to compare to a human’s. A wolf with four legs would be able to run at top speed, and even if a human tried to catch up, they would only be miserably left behind.

That kind of situation would happen if it was a normal human trying to chase the wolf. But, was Bai Lang a normal human? No, Bai Lang was not a normal human, and he wasn’t even human in the first place. Bai Lang was a part werewolf, and he was also the strongest among werewolves because he was the Immortal Elder.

Bai Lang had also died many years ago, and that was why he couldn’t be considered a human.

Thus, it wasn’t difficult for him to catch up to Shao Yaoting who was in his black wolf form, but he deliberately kept running behind the wolf instead of stopping the wolf’s movements. He wanted to know where the black wolf would continue running.

For some reason, Bai Lang assumed that Shao Yaoting didn’t just run away. For some reason, Bai Lang thought Shao Yaoting had a destination he wanted to reach, but he still couldn’t guess where the destination was.

The black wolf kept running, and Bai Lang, who was still using Bai Chen’s body, also kept running behind the wolf. Initially, they left the Rongyao Imperial Palace and ran through the residential area of Dong Lang which looked like a ghost town at this time. And then the two of them started running through the forest area until finally, Bai Lang noticed how Shao Yaoting was running towards the Forbidden Forest.

It was quite a shock, and Bai Lang didn’t know what kind of plan Shao Yaoting was doing at this time. As the black wolf form of Shao Yaoting dashed across the old bridge that connected the Forbidden Forest to the mainland, Bai Lang only needed to leap into the sky before he could reach the end of the old bridge, and he finally blocked Shao Yaoting’s movements when the black wolf arrived at the entrance of the Forbidden Forest.

“What are you planning, Shao Yaoting?” Bai Lang asked the black wolf when it stopped running in front of him.

At this time, Shao Yaoting finally turned into his human form. The old man was still in a sorry state, but he could still smirk at the Immortal Elder who was still using Bai Chen’s body.

.....

“You can’t stop me, My Lord,” Shao Yaoting replied haughtily. “I want to enter the Forbidden Forest because I want to meet someone there. Ah, perhaps it wouldn’t be correct to say I want to meet someone there, and it would be more accurate to say that I want to meet so many people inside the forest. And if you want to kill me now, then that means you will also kill the people in the forest, My Lord.”

Bai Lang frowned after hearing Shao Yaoting’s arrogant answer. Even when Shao Yaoting only had a very slim chance of winning against him, the old man could still speak arrogantly, and Bai Lang knew that the old man must still have an ultimate weapon up his sleeve. Behind him was the Forbidden Forest, and Bai Lang started thinking about what Shao Yaoting had hidden in the forest.

‘He clearly said the word ‘people,’ so he surely wasn’t talking about the beasts in the forest, right? Sure enough, he talked about werewolves, but why are those werewolves in the Forbidden Forest? Don’t tell me that…’ Bai Lang even stopped thinking about the possibility when he finally came up with a theory.

He could sense danger, and that was why he moved his hand towards his head before plucking a strand of white hair from his scalp, and as soon as the strand was in his hand, it shone brightly as it extended towards Shao Yaoting, and before Shao Yaoting could avoid it, the thin hair tied his hands together in front of his body, and he couldn’t even break free.

Only Bai Lang’s hair bound his hands, but the hair was so tough that Shao Yaoting couldn’t even break it. The end of the thin and long white strand was in Bai Lang’s hand, and he tugged it hard, bringing Shao Yaoting closer to him as he directly glared at the old man.

“What are you going to do to me, My Lord? You should let me go before you will regret it!” Shao Yaoting could still talk big even if he couldn’t even move away from Bai Lang’s grasp.

The arrogance of the man dressed in black only added to Bai Lang’s annoyance as he replied, “Don’t do anything funny, Shao Yaoting! You know that you can’t win against me, right?”

They stood close, and Shao Yaoting’s hands were tied together and unable to break free no matter how hard the old man tried.

It looked like Shao Yaoting was pressed, but his arrogance remained as he replied, “I know I won’t be able to win against you, but I also know that those people won’t be able to win against the dangerous beasts within the Forbidden Forest, My Lord! When you decide to kill me, those beasts probably decide the same to those weaklings!”

More and more, Bai Lang was able to understand Shao Yaoting’s intentions, and that was why he gritted his teeth before tugging at the strand of hair in his hand, automatically pulling Shao Yaoting along with him as he started walking towards the entrance of the Forbidden Forest that was sealed by a barrier.

Shao Yaoting was forced to follow the Immortal Elder, but he didn’t look scared or panicked, and he could even smirk as he could see how the Immortal Elder started to raise his free hand before pressing it against the transparent barrier, and white light started to emit from the palm before a body-sized hole appeared at the barrier. Without a word, Bai Lang led his feet into the forest through the hole, and Shao Yaoting automatically followed behind him.

The barrier behind the two of them automatically closed again after the two entered the forest, but Bai Lang had no intention of stopping. Currently, he only had one destination in his heart, and that was the core of the Forbidden Forest, a place where high-level beasts were confined.
