The main text follows:
Though the force on his hand was not great, it was like a mountain, pinning Shen Chu in place and leaving him unable to move.
Then, a gentle voice came from behind him, its tone tinged with amusement:
"Little fellow, that was impolite. We haven't finished talking yet. Why were you in such a hurry to leave?"
Shen Chu's pupils abruptly contracted, and cold sweat instantly soaked through his clothes.
He had already used every trick at his disposal!
He had sprinted at full speed and used the [Breath Concealment] skill to suppress his aura!
Yet even so, the other party had caught up to him in an instant and subdued him with such ease.
What did that mean?
It meant their strengths were not even on the same level!
He did not even have the right to run!
Shen Chu slowly turned around, forcing a smile uglier than a grimace onto his face. He gave two dry laughs.
"Ha ha... Senior, you jest. This junior wasn't trying to leave. This junior was... was going to relieve himself. That fight was rather intense just now, and I suddenly needed to go. Hehe, needed to go..."
The man stood behind him, his green robe fluttering softly in the night wind.
His emerald-green eyes glimmered faintly beneath the moonlight, while that half-smiling expression remained on his face.
He did not expose Shen Chu's lie. He merely said gently, "There is no rush for that. Come back first, and let us talk."
Knowing he could not escape, Shen Chu could only obediently follow the man back into the mountain hollow.
The black-masked leader was still lying where he had fallen; he had not been kicked very far.
