Ban Ye and the dozen or so young men and women watched the black-robed old man sprint away, their faces filled with worry.
Especially when they saw dozens of large, earth-yellow snakes relentlessly pursuing the black-robed old man from behind. Clearly, the old man had angered quite a few demon beasts in Serpentwood Forest!
"There are Yellow-Banded Serpents chasing him!"
"Uncle Ban Ye, save him!"
"He must have accidentally entered Serpentwood Forest and awakened so many demon beasts. Uncle Ban Ye, why don't we save him?"
The dozen or so young men and women looked anxiously at Uncle Ban Ye as they spoke.
Uncle Ban Ye was also somewhat moved and prepared to go save the Soul-Reaping Leader.
But Lin Bai said, "Uncle Ban Ye, this man probably isn't worth saving! Besides, he came running out from deep within Serpentwood Forest. Although we can only see a dozen or so Yellow-Banded Serpents chasing him now, who knows how many more are still coming from behind?"
"We'd better not invite more trouble."
"Let's go."
Lin Bai spoke to Ban Ye.
The Soul-Reaping Leader had originally been an assassin. He had been cold and heartless from birth, and countless martial artists had died by his hand. Why save the life of such an assassin?
Besides, Lin Bai had come to hunt down the Soul-Reaping Leader in the first place. Now that he saw the Soul-Reaping Leader being chased by Yellow-Banded Serpents, Lin Bai wished the man would die in their jaws!
Ban Ye hesitated. At that moment, he was also weighing whether he could save the old man.
But Lin Bai's words angered the dozen or so young men and women. They all said coldly, "How can you be so heartless?"
"Everyone is traveling away from home. It's common to encounter danger.
