Chapter 402 - 402 HE WON’T RUN AWAY

402 HE WON’T RUN AWAY

“I don’t care even if I become a fish demon for the rest of my life! I just want to see Bai Chen now! Just let me know where he is!”

“Is that so?”

Wu Jinhai confidently answered the Immortal Elder, but the white-haired man only half-heartedly responded. Without a doubt, the Eldest Prince of Wu Li had said that he would not care about the poison in his body, and he even said that he didn’t care if he needed to spend the rest of his life as a fish demon, but the response he received from the Immortal Elder was not something he had expected.

And without minding what he said, the Immortal Elder suddenly dashed in a direction and left behind the beasts trapped inside the barrier in the destroyed cave area, and Wu Jinhai was even speechless as the Elder fled.

Yes, he did think that the Immortal Elder wanted to escape with Bai Chen’s body, and that was why Wu Jinhai immediately chased after the white-haired man.

Only Yu Ming and Wu Jingguo were standing not far from the beasts trapped inside the barrier, and Wu Jingguo turned to the older man after witnessing how his elder brother had just been trying to catch up with the Immortal Elder. Yu Ming could understand the meaning behind those curious gazes, but he just shrugged before starting to run toward Wu Jinhai who was chasing the Immortal Elder. Left with no choice, Wu Jingguo could only follow behind Yu Ming.

The Immortal Elder dashed so fast into the middle of countless big trees in the Forbidden Forest, and Wu Jinhai tried to close the distance between them as he didn’t want to let the Elder escape with Bai Chen’s body. It seemed the white-haired man didn’t feel tired after fighting the beasts, and the man’s state was different from how Wu Jinhai started to feel tired.

After all, Wu Jinhai’s energy hadn’t returned to its full state after he used the Ears to Lips ability. Perhaps only eighty percent of his energy had returned, but then he needed to fight those dangerous beasts when he wasn’t in his perfect state. It might sound like an excuse, but that was indeed the reason why he couldn’t even win against beasts before.

And this time, he couldn’t even catch the Immortal Elder as the Elder dashed in front of him. Instead, he could only run closely behind the Elder until the Elder finally stopped his movements.

.....

Wu Jinhai also stopped running, but before he could grab the Elder’s wrist, he first realized where they were now. His eyes returned to the brown color once again after he felt exhausted, and when he took to look around him, he could see that they had returned to the core of the forest, and he could also see how a large group of low-level werewolves were still there along with the troops sent by Emperor Wu Shun.

Wu Jingguo had indeed sent a message to Emperor Wu Shun, and that was why the troops were able to be with the weak werewolves when the four of them were fighting beasts in another area of the forest.

At this time, Wu Jinhai finally knew that the Immortal Elder had no intention of escaping. Instead, he just wanted to return to the area where his people were previously held hostage by Shao Yaoting.

Wu Jinhai could also see how Yu Ming and Wu Jingguo had arrived in the area too, but he didn’t plan to talk to them as he turned to the Immortal Elder instead. “What will you do now?” He asked the white-haired man.

The Immortal Elder could hear his question, but he didn’t even shift his gaze toward him and continued to look at the werewolf group. “I still have some things I need to do, and that’s why I can’t return Bai Chen to you immediately. But you don’t need to worry because you will definitely reunite with him soon,” he replied.

Finally, Wu Jinhai got a proper answer from the white-haired man, but he still didn’t know what the man would do before leaving Bai Chen’s body and letting the Werewolf Prince return to his embrace.

Wu Jinhai was indeed still confused, but it seemed the Elder had no intention of enlightening him as he silently walked toward the werewolf group. This time, Wu Jinhai didn’t try to follow the man, knowing that the man would surely not run away with Bai Chen’s body.

Instead of following the Immortal Elder, Wu Jinhai only observed the Elder from afar, and he could see how the Elder stopped walking in front of a familiar old man. At this time, Wu Jinhai’s brown eyes widened. “Emperor Bai Guowei is still alive?” He muttered to himself.

He was held in prison by the evil Shao Yaoting, and he was rescued by Wu Jingguo at that time. Of course, it was not easy to admit that his half-brother came to save him, but that was the truth he couldn’t deny. That was also the truth when he decided to trust his brother once, and that was the reason why he came to Zuigao Hall with his brother.

In the Zuigao Hall, he met Yu Ming, and Yu Ming briefly explained everything that happened in the ruined hall before he came to the place. Yu Ming also explained how Shao Yaoting took Bai Guowei’s Power Crystal, and the fish demon also said that Bai Guowei might have died at Shao Yaoting’s hand.

But now he could see how the Emperor of Dong Lang knelt in front of the Immortal Elder, and he knew that Yu Ming was wrong in his opinion.

“It seems Shao Yaoting planned to torture Emperor Bai Guowei rather than kill him outright, and that’s why the Emperor is still alive now,” someone spoke, and without turning to look at the person, Wu Jinhai knew that it was Yu Ming who had just voiced his opinion.

The black-robed man was standing beside him, but Wu Jinhai focused his brown eyes on the two figures in front of him. What would the Immortal Elder do to Bai Guowei? Would he... punish Bai Guowei for not being a good ruler in Dong Lang?
