Law Of Creation

Day 61st, the month of the fire, aka summer.

[Tsk! Really annoying.] Mingyue looked at the people behind.

It had already been a few days since she ran away from the Green River, but Mingyue couldn't shake off the chasers.

Every time Mingyue asked Xiao Wu to slow down, their chasers would also slow their pace. And vice versa.

". . . Can I just kill them?" Xiao Jing asked as if a vein bulged on her forehead.

Shook her head, Mingyue denied Xiao Jing's question. "Out of the question. Even after running all day and night, they are able to follow us leisurely."

Mingyue peeked at her behind and continued, "Moreover, there is not only one or two chaser. I believe they are in the formation. Though I don't know what their aim is, we must not lower our vigilance.

". . ." Even though Xiao Jing was unwilling, she didn't pester Mingyue.

But this was not what on Mingyue's mind all this time, but rather that familiar stench scent at the Green River City.

Because of the sudden event at the Green River City, Mingyue didn't think too much about it.

But after calming down her own nerve for these few days, Mingyue found it was inconceivable. She didn't remember what it is, but Mingyue had a blurry image, blurry memory of that stench. But that it was impossible for sure, as it had a relationship with that world. Her previous world.

[I would need to get into contact with the source of that stench to make sure whether my conjecture was right or wrong.]

[For those people, I don't know who they are. But based on my guts, they should be in the same league as that assassin I met at the Academy.] Mingyue made her wild guess after these few days being chased.

…

Ever since she began her cultivation, Xiao Wu could run for an extended time as her own stamina and Elemental manipulation was refined even further. Of course, as long as Xiao Wu didn't get into some fight, she wouldn't need to expend a large amount of Elemental.

Not only that. Thanks to the Leaping Jade Rabbit Manual, Xiao Wu's movement had become more nimble and agile.

[Don't tell me because both their body are mainly made from Elemental, it was possible for them to cultivate it in the form of Spirit Brand.] While Mingyue was in deep thinking, Mingyue returned to her sense after being called by Xiao Jing.

"Far in front of us is the sea. We couldn't keep moving forward." Xiao Jing made her report.

Because Mingyue spent all her effort to detect the surroundings and observe their chasers, she couldn't afford to check everything in front of them.

"Sea? Is there any island nearby?" Mingyue was surprised, a pleasant surprise. Mingyue immediately made a nasty plan to safely run away from their chaser.

"Ah, there are some small islands far in front of the sea. Hey, don't tell me that you want to go across the ocean?" Xiao Jing suddenly had a bad premonition as she saw Mingyue's bad smile.

"Obviously. Why do you think I forced her to learn all those steps for?" Mingyue rolled her eyes.

". . Er, Yueyue. . . I don't think I am ready. . "Xiao Wu's timid voice could be heard by Mingyue and Xiao Jing.

"Oh girl, just think of it as your training." Mingyue tried to coax Xiao Wu.

"NO!" Xiao Wu shouted so suddenly, making Mingyue surprised.

"Er. . ." MIngyue was speechless as she was thinking on how to coax Xiao Wu again.

"NO! No is a no!" Unfortunately, Xiao Wu couldn't be persuaded by Mingyue anymore. Mingyue could only hold her forehead to think another plan.

[Sigh. Since when she became this hard-headed.] Mingyue grumbled in her mind.

"Fine. Xiao Jing, since we need to shake them off, go to a place with could hide our trails. The best place is a place that was similar to a maze or labyrinth. We should be able to shake them off quickly." Mingyue made her decision as she closed her eyes.

[If we could disappear from their vision, I could use this rusty necklace. If possible, I don't want to use this, but I will definitely have my revenge.]

[Yes. Revenge.]

She would never forget that day.

That figure.

Their promise.

For the first time in this life, Mingyue had a strong determination. Even if her own body was weak, Mingyue would find the way to exact her revenge.

[You damn bunch of bastards. You all should clean your necks and wait for me.]

[That day will definitely come.]

…

"I have found something. At the left side." Xiao Jing reported her new finding. "After running for an hour or two, we will arrive at some kind of ruins. The place is big enough to shake those bastards off."

Nodding her head, Mingyue replied, "Okay, guide Xiao Wu. I will make the plan to shake them off after we arrive at the ruins."

After that, Mingyue took out the rusty necklace from her clothes. Ever since she left the Academy, she had never used the rusty necklace even once. The reason was simple. Even though the rusty necklace was very useful, she didn't want Xiao Jing and Xiao Wu to be dependent on any kind of external item.

So, even though Mingyue had given cultivation technique to both of them, they are merely a child holding a weapon in her eyes.

Thus, Mingyue slowly guided both of them to always observe everything around them, like the present.

Even though they were being chased, Mingyue would never forget to tell them to observe the surrounding. Avoid place with any settlement nearby, avoid any place with Fierce Beast around, observe not only their front but always vigilant of the surrounding.

Mingyue slowly tried to instruct them everything based on her experience.

They had to grow as soon as possible.

She wished for the day where she could entrust them to exact her revenge came sooner.

…

"We will see the ruins soon." Xiao Jing made her report.

Exactly like what Xiao Jing said, Mingyue and others could see some ruins from this distance.

[Those ruins should be wide enough to trick them.] Mingyue muttered with low voice while holding the rusty necklace with her right hand.

"Can we really shake them off? How about we kill them at those ruins after we shook them off?" Xiao Jing made her own suggestion.

Mingyue smiled at her suggestion. "Your suggestion is not bad, but there are a few points that you didn't count. But I will just tell the main point. Do you think they didn't have any way of communication?

Since those chasers were in the group, they will definitely have their own way to communicate. Look at they keep the distance from us. They are too organized. They are trained. Professional. And more importantly, they clearly didn't look down on us."

"Remember when I asked Xiao Wu to slow down? Remember their reaction? Even though we are an easy target, they didn't dare to take other action! They definitely had planned it before."

Shaking her head, Mingyue continued, "Thus, making an ambush is too risky. We are in a passive situation, while they are the one holding the initiative. They are similar to a ticking bomb that could explode anytime."

"If we could shake them off, it should be enough for now. Okay, we will commence the plan now"

Mingyue immediately infused Elemental into the rusty necklace slowly. Unlike the event at the Green Mountain, she just needed to suppress Xiao Ming and her presence.

There is no problem with Xiao Wu since she was using Frost Step ever since they left the Green River City.

Frost Step, together with Shadow Step, they were two movement techniques from the Nine World Celestial Step. If Shadow Step mostly for completely removing their presence and traces of the user, then Frost step was specialized in manipulating user's presence to disturb enemy's perception. If the user had high attainment in the Frost Step, then they could create a realistic copy or fake image of the user to make a realistic illusion.

The second level of the Frost Step is Frost Mist, this skill could disturb the enemy's perception in a large area.

And the last level of the Frost Step is Frost Dream, inviting the enemy into the world of illusion.

This skill almost has no combat ability, but this skill could supplement every movement techniques of the Nine World Celestial Step.

Unfortunately, Xiao Wu didn't have time to cultivate Frost Step since she didn't want to go out at all at Green River City. Thus, Mingyue didn't blame her.

Even though Xiao Wu was not very proficient in this skill, it was enough to reduce her presence. Moreover, ever since they left the Green River City, Xiao Wu always used this Frost Step until now. Of course, it was the order from Mingyue.

And after a few days of non-stop running, Xiao Wu could be said to be good enough in Frost Step.

Mingyue was determined to make sure that Xiao Wu learnt all movement techniques from the Nine World Celestial Step Technique since these movement techniques could easily throw their chasers off, or even trapped and killed them easily.
