Chapter 165

In the nocturnal Ghost Shadow Forest, a streak of green light flashed and cut through the pitch-black night in an instant. It was none other than Jian Xin, who had just rushed out of the inn. The moment she broke out of the Yuancheng market—the very same one she had laid eyes on after walking out of the forest—a burst of fireworks exploded in the sky. Jian Xin paid it no mind and flashed past at breakneck speed. Her sole focus right now was to return the fire lizard eggs, and thus she completely missed the firework blooming in the sky as it transformed into her own likeness, projected high above Yuancheng for nearly half the city's inhabitants to see. At the very same instant the firework blossomed, dozens of figures flashed out from Yuancheng and charged into the Ghost Shadow Forest. Of all this, Jian Xin remained utterly oblivious! Relying on her memory from the daytime, Jian Xin arrived with absolute precision at the spot where she had encountered Su Chu's group, only to find herself completely at a loss as to where to search next. She had originally hoped to track the fire lizards by the traces they left on the ground, but this was the Ghost Shadow Forest, where every creature's vigilance was dialed to the maximum; any trace here, whether human or beast, had been thoroughly wiped away.
