759 The Chase in the Shadow Land

!

The black mage before him was actually Aragon, the Second Elder of Shadow Land—a level-fourteen powerhouse!

There were only three level-fourteen powerhouses in Shadow Land. Needless to say, one was their leader, Lucifer; the other two were Shadow Land's First Elder and Second Elder. This Aragon was precisely the Second Elder.

Aragon's appearance sent ripples of surprise through Xia Ming's heart, putting him on extreme alert.

"I had long heard that City Lord Xia Ming was powerful, a young genius. Now that I see you, the rumors were indeed true. City Lord Xia Ming is already a level-thirteen peak powerhouse, only a single step away from level fourteen. Truly impressive." Aragon smiled faintly, a glint of amused interest flashing in his eyes. He looked at Xia Ming like a cat eyeing a mouse, utterly mocking.

"Even I have to admit that I admire your talent. But City Lord Xia Ming, I'm afraid your legend ends today. I came here specifically to wait for you." Aragon gave a soft laugh.

Xia Ming's entire body stiffened slightly. Aragon had been watching him all along and had deliberately waited here for him!

It seemed this small town had also been tampered with by him...

"I thought you might not come, City Lord Xia Ming. I waited here for you for a full three days." Aragon said with a smile, an eerie grin curling across his lips.

"Right now, the Sacred Council and the Holy Temple are discussing the reorganization of the Human Alliance. I also heard that there is a great deal of support for City Lord Xia Ming to become one of the Five Marshals. I knew you would certainly make a trip to Sacred Council headquarters, so I specifically intercepted you here. And it worked out perfectly." Aragon laughed again.
