Descender With Innate Destiny

Below the hillside, less than a hundred meters from him, several Black Armored Guards were also stunned as they watched him. Immediately after, more Black Armored Guards rushed out from the bushes behind them. The leader, a Black Armored Guard with a gold trim, saw him chewing the Thousand-Year Snow Ginseng from the brocade box in his hand, and his expression changed drastically. He took a deep breath, drew his saber, and pointed:

"Bold thief, how dare you steal and eat tribute offerings! Your crime is unforgivable!"

He pushed off the ground and shot out over ten meters, landing on a protruding rock. Using it as leverage, he leaped out another ten meters. His speed was incredibly fast.

Lin Xiao cursed inwardly, They're chasing so fast. He quickly stuffed the brocade box into his chest, turned, and ran.

Chewing the Thousand-Year Snow Ginseng, the potent medicinal energy surged like a tidal wave. The true qi within him boiled along with it, making him feel incredibly strong. His perfected Flying Heaven Steps were pushed to their limit, making him feel like he was about to fly. With a few blinks, he reached the mountaintop and disappeared over the other side.

He Jinyi charged up the mountain and saw Lin Xiao's figure leaping down the other side, the distance rapidly widening to nearly a hundred meters. His expression grew even uglier, but the thought of what he was eating surged with anger in his heart. Gritting his teeth, he continued the pursuit.

The two sides chased and fled, but the distance between them grew further and further apart. After a quarter of an hour, Lin Xiao could no longer see his pursuers. However, he didn't stop; he kept running.

These Black Armored Guards had a special tracking technique. They had caught up to him even when he had gained such a distance earlier, so he needed to run even farther this time.

While fleeing, he refined the Thousand-Year Snow Ginseng, trying to accumulate more Potential Points to prepare for the later deductions.

He ran for an unknown amount of time, continuously until nightfall. Lin Xiao had no idea where he had ended up. He only knew that in the distance, there was a mountain range stretching for who knew how many miles. Most importantly, he saw snow on the peaks of those mountains, as if he had suddenly arrived in winter, even though it was actually only May.

By this time, he could no longer see his pursuers. He didn't know if the Black Armored Guards were still chasing him, but he estimated that even if they were, they were still far behind him. He looked around and decided to climb the nearby mountain, find a place to settle down, and begin his deductions.

He figured he must have reached the Mobei region by now. The temperature had unknowingly approached zero degrees, but Lin Xiao, protected by his Internal Energy Cultivation, didn't feel the cold. He quickly reached the mountain and, after crossing the snow-covered ridge, he suddenly stopped.

On the other side of the mountain, in a valley, he discovered a massive army traversing the canyon, marching from the direction he had come. The moment he appeared, he was somehow discovered, and several burly men on horseback galloped towards him.

These men were all clad in fur robes, yet they didn't seem to fear the cold even with their upper bodies exposed in the severe chill. They drew their longbows from their horses and nocked arrows, shooting at him.

Lin Xiao didn't pay them much mind, but as several arrows, shot from over a hundred meters away with pinpoint accuracy and powerful force, flew towards him, he couldn't help but let out a soft gasp and dodge them, turning to flee.

Facing such a massive army was impossible, and there was no need to provoke them. Most importantly, Lin Xiao sensed a presence within this army that made his heart palpitate. It was likely that a supremely powerful expert was hidden within, possibly a Grandmaster. He didn't dare to linger, fearing unforeseen circumstances.

So, he dropped the arrows he had caught and left without any entanglement.

The few riders couldn't catch up and could only return dejectedly to the center of the army, to a house-sized carriage pulled by over a dozen horses. Soon, someone let them enter. The carriage was as spacious as a house, with a brazier burning in the center, making the interior warm as spring.

Seated on a throne at the very back was a handsome man in exotic attire, accompanied by two exotic beauties. The man who entered knelt before the handsome man and said:

"Reporting to the Great Khan, that Han expert's martial arts are formidable. I failed to catch him."

The man, who was enjoying fruit fed to him by a beauty, raised his eyelids and glanced at him, saying:

"I saw that person; he is indeed an expert. It's normal that you couldn't catch him. The Tribal Alliance Army has already divided into three routes and is marching south. Even if the Han discover it, it will be too late to prepare. There's no need to block the news. However, while your crime can be forgiven, your responsibility cannot be escaped. Go and receive ten military strokes yourself!"

"Your subordinate will go and receive his punishment now."

The man got up and left. Not long after, dull thudding sounds came from outside the door. After ten strikes, it stopped. The young Great Khan leaned against a beauty, propped his chin on his hand, and looked towards the door. Thinking of something, he suddenly chuckled and asked:

"Do you think this young master can succeed in conquering the Great Kang Dynasty and unifying this world, just like Genghis Khan?"

The beauty beneath him smiled and said:

"Does that even need to be asked? Young Master Xuanji descended using a secret method to replace Prince Haiguer Khan. He was born with destiny and can break through the limits of world power. Since inheriting the position of Great Khan, Haiguer Khan's influence has rapidly expanded. He is now one of the three great northern tribes. This time, uniting the three tribes and marching south will surely destroy the Great Kang Dynasty in one fell swoop."

At this moment, another beauty smiled and said:

"The other two tribes intend to plunder and leave. They don't have the ambition to march south and contend for the Central Plains like you, Young Master. When you unify the Central Plains, you can then march north and destroy the other two tribes. The world will then belong to you. At that time, you will fulfill your destiny and become the Son of Destiny of this world, naturally able to transform this world into your private domain."

Haiguer Khan, who was this young master, pulled a beauty into his embrace and slipped his hand under her skirt, caressing her. He laughed heartily:

"Transforming it into a private world is out of the question. I'm not interested in this mere low-martial-arts world. What I'm interested in is the world origin power contained within this world. I will then strip it away and integrate it into my Xuan Shen Realm to strengthen its origin. My Xuan Shen Realm has already integrated enough world origin power, and it's only a little more before it can be promoted. Then, I can rely on the world origin power generated by the world's promotion to counterattack and advance further, surpassing my elder brother in one go."

"With your current strength, no one in this world is your opponent, not even those so-called Grandmasters. Unifying the world will be as easy as flipping your hand!"

Zhao Xuanji heard this, pinched the woman's breast, and said with great joy:

"This little mouth of yours really knows how to talk."

The woman's eyes were full of charm as she said:

"My little mouth isn't the only thing that knows how to talk. My little mouth down here also knows how to talk. Do you want to try, Young Master?"

"Hmm, show this young master!"

As sounds of shy delight filled the air, the luxurious carriage became filled with boundless spring scenery.

Lin Xiao, of course, was unaware of what was happening within this northern nomadic army, nor did he know what the sudden appearance of this massive tribal army signified. He had already moved far away from that area and was now in the snowy peaks of mountains he didn't even know the location of.

"Damn it, if they can still find me now, I'll admit defeat!"

He erased his tracks from the path he took. He dug a snow cave on the snowy peak and hid inside, sealing the entrance with snow, leaving only a small hole for breathing. This effectively cut off his aura completely. If he were still found after this, he would truly have to admit defeat.
