Chapter 150 Chase Through the Abyss
Chapter 150 Chase Through the Abyss
"Lin Tian?" Superses repeated the name, a glint of light flashing in his golden eyes.
"Describe Lin Tian in detail, and the places they often appear in."
"According to the descriptions of the two adventurers, Lin Tian is extremely powerful and acts arrogantly. He is one of the most prominent human adventurers in Luoxia City recently."
Their exact whereabouts are uncertain, but they are active in various high-level monster areas around Luoxia City.
The two adventurers even... deliberately emphasized that they had a grudge against Lin Tian and were very willing to cooperate with us...
Superses' lips curled into a cold, disdainful smile:
"Hmph, foolish and despicable humans, their internal strife is always so blatant. But... this news is very important."
She waved her hand: "You did a great job, go and collect your reward."
"Thank you, sir!" The two stalkers were relieved and disappeared back into the shadows.
Superses slowly rose from the bed, her graceful figure outlining breathtaking curves in the dim light.
She straightened the non-existent folds in her robes, a hint of smugness on her face, and walked toward the throne room where Kael'thas was.
The atmosphere in the throne room remained oppressive.
Superses gracefully walked to the foot of the throne and gave an elegant bow: "Lord Kael'thas~"
On the throne, Kael'thas paused, his fingers tapping the armrest, his deep gaze falling upon her:
"Suppressus, you seem to be in a good mood. Is there some good news you want to tell me?"
"Yes, my great Lord Kael'thas."
Superses looked up, a perfectly timed smile on his face.
"My stalkers in Sunset City have just reported that they have found concrete clues about Miss Celia!"
Kael'thas leaned forward slightly, the shadows around him swirling, revealing his inner turmoil: "Go on!"
"Miss Celia is indeed in Sunset City! She is with a human male adventurer named Lin Tian."
According to intelligence, this Lin Tian is quite powerful and has a high reputation among human adventurers.
Our information was extracted from two adventurers who had a grudge against Lin Tian, so it's highly credible.
Superses spoke slowly but clearly conveyed the key information.
"Lin Tian...a human..."
Kael'thas chewed on the name softly, a cold glint in his eyes.
"So you hid in the human capital! No wonder we couldn't find you anywhere in the Abyss! Good, very good! Superses, you've done a great service this time!"
"It is an honor for Superses to be able to share your burdens."
Superses bowed again, his posture humble, but a glint of triumphant gleam flashed in his eyes.
Kael'thas hesitated for a moment, then his fingers began tapping the armrest again, producing a rhythmic "knock, knock" sound. He said in a deep voice:
"Luoxia City is protected by a barrier created by powerful human beings. If we go there with too much power, it will easily arouse their suspicion and alert them."
We must send two people who are skilled in infiltration and concealment, but whose level is not too high, so as not to easily trigger the strong repulsion of the barrier.
His gaze swept over the two blurry figures standing beside the throne, seemingly blending into the background: "Shadow Claw, Ghost Fang."
The two figures instantly solidified, kneeling on one knee.
Their appearance is similar to a combination of a humanoid cheetah and a bat, with sharp claws and teeth, pure darkness in their eyes, and a shadow energy that can distort light and block perception.
They may not be noticeable in the abyss, but thanks to their racial talents, their stealth and assassination abilities far surpass those of their peers.
"Your subordinate is here!" Two deep, hoarse voices rang out simultaneously.
"I'm giving you a task."
Kael'thas's voice carried an undeniable air of authority.
"Infiltrate the Sunset City area, find Celia, and bring her back unharmed."
You are permitted to use all necessary means, but do so cleanly and efficiently, and try not to attract the attention of the powerful human beings.
Remember, the primary objective is to bring Celia back!
"Yes, Lord Kael'thas!"
Shadowclaw and Ghost Fang responded in unison, their voices completely calm.
"Go, and don't disappoint me." Kael'thas waved his hand.
Shadowclaw and Ghost Fang merged back into the shadows, as if they had never been there.
The next second, they had already left the throne room, transforming into two almost imperceptible dim streaks of light, silently leaving Dark Erosion City and heading towards Sunset City, like the most deadly venomous snakes, stealthily slithering away.
The shadow of the abyss had already silently descended upon the unsuspecting Lin Tian and Celia.
......
On the outskirts of Luoxia City, deep within an abandoned mine, the place was dark and damp, with only a few pale rays of moonlight filtering through the crumbling cracks, barely illuminating four sinister figures.
Ye Shen and Zhang Hong nervously rubbed their hands together, looking at the two eerie beings in front of them who were almost one with the shadows—the Abyss Stalker Shadowclaw and Ghost Fang.
Even though it wasn't their first meeting, those cold, emotionless black eyes, and the faint aura of the abyss emanating from him, still sent chills down their spines.
"Two...two sirs,"
Ye Shen swallowed hard, trying to make his voice sound calm.
"We have been following orders, using all available connections and manpower to secretly search for Lin Tian's whereabouts."
That kid's whereabouts are indeed elusive, but we've already made some progress, and I estimate... I estimate we'll have definite news soon!
Shadowclaw's voice echoed through the mine, carrying an undeniable sense of oppression:
"Hurry. Your master's patience is limited. Find him, pinpoint his location, and you will reap the rewards."
Youya added, her icy gaze sweeping over Ye Shen and Zhang Hong, causing them to involuntarily shiver:
"If your foolishness alerts the enemy..."
"No, no! Absolutely not!"
Zhang Hong quickly assured him, a fine layer of cold sweat beading on his forehead.
"We must be extremely careful!"
Ye Shen quickly nodded and bowed:
"Rest assured, my lords, we know what we're doing! That Lin Tian is arrogant and domineering, and he's offended our brothers. We want to see him suffer more than anyone else! As soon as we find an opportunity, we'll inform you both immediately!"
Seeing Shadow Claw and Ghost Fang nod slightly and their figures slowly disappear into the shadows, Ye Shen and Zhang Hong finally breathed a long sigh of relief, their backs already soaked with cold sweat.
They exchanged a glance, a hint of ruthlessness and pleasure flashing in their eyes.
"Hmph, Lin Tian...aren't you supposed to be a great fighter? Aren't you supposed to be showing off?"
Ye Shen lowered his voice, his tone filled with resentment.
"Let's see if you can still be so arrogant this time! You've offended us, and you still dare to provoke such a terrifying guy? You're just asking for death!"
Zhang Hong nodded with a sinister grin:
"That's right! Once these two 'masters' make their move, let's see how he dies! This is what happens when you oppose us!"
