Seeing Fairy Wu You charge down the path in the center of the fork without a moment’s hesitation, Su Luo slowly walked out from the small pathway on the left, smirking. "You want to catch me? In your next life."
Su Luo clapped her hands and prepared to leave at once.
But Su Luo had only walked two steps before she suddenly had a very bad premonition.
Her instincts for danger rang alarmingly.
She immediately stopped in her tracks.
A pitch-black figure swiftly appeared before her.
This person was enveloped in darkness from head to toe—black clothes, a black cloak, and black headgear. Only a pair of sinister, sly eyes were visible.
Seeing those eyes, Su Luo's pupils instantly shrank!
The Eighth Elder!!!
There was no doubt that this black-clad person was the Eighth Elder; there was no possibility other than him!
In her heart, Su Luo silently cursed at her misfortune. Just when she had sent Fairy Wu You off, just when she was about to escape disaster, the Eighth Elder came to chase her.
Just then, the black Communication Amulet in Su Luo's space rang.
Nangong Liuyun!
But how could she possibly have the time to speak with him at this moment? She grabbed it and answered with a single sentence: "The Eighth Elder is trying to chase and kill me, so tell me later if you have something to say!"
She then hung up.
Su Luo continuously retreated, while the Eighth Elder steadily forced her back, step by step.
Su Luo knew that if this continued on, she would undoubtedly die. What she had to do now was find an opportune moment to escape.
But, this would only work if the Eighth Elder slipped up.
Furthermore, in another 15 minutes, she would be able to teleport again.
Thus, Su Luo decided to stall.
"Who are you?" Su Luo icily called out.
The black-clothed man didn't speak, only steadily drawing closer to Su Luo with a strange glint in his eyes. Su Luo saw those eyes shine with thrill and excitement.
"What do you want?" Su Luo calmly stood where she was, coldly gazing at him.
"Fallen. Red. Lotus." The black-clad man spoke three words.
Surprise flashed across Su Luo's eyes.
The Fallen Red Lotus? He actually knew she had the Fallen Red Lotus? How could this be?
Seeing Su Luo's surprise, the triumphant smugness in the Eighth Elder’s eyes shone.
"Hand the Fallen Red Lotus over." The Eighth Elder arrogantly stood before Su Luo, his eyes gleaming like a blade’s edge.
"Fallen Red Lotus? What's that? Never heard of it." Su Luo knew that denying it was the only right choice.
"Hehe—" The black-clad man sneered cunningly at her and reached out his palm. "Since you won't offer it to me yourself, then I'll help myself to it."
Su Luo levelled an icily arrogant gaze at him: "Eighth Elder, harming a student like this, do the other Elders know of this?"
The black-clad man's eyes narrowed menacingly, and he coldly stared at Su Luo before suddenly bursting out laughing.
Then, he pulled the black cloth from his face.
As expected, it was the Eighth Elder!
"When did you recognize me?" The Eighth Elder's eyes held a hint of curiosity.
"Although you wrapped your whole body up, still-- it's impossible to hide those greedy eyes of yours," Su Luo said haughtily.
But the Eighth Elder wasn't upset, and he was instead still extremely excited.
Looking at the Eighth Elder right now, was there even a trace left of his strict, dignified appearance earlier? He completely seemed like a weirdo! If anyone saw, they would feel chills in their hearts.
"Continue." The Eight Elder looked at Su Luo smugly.
Su Luo sneered, "After entering the Demon Clan’s Fire Territory, that dog that kept sneakily following me around was you, wasn't it? The one who attacked Fairy Wu You in the small black house was also you, right? Because you thought the one who went in would be me!"
