"Fallen One," Bing Yekong murmured.
Bibi Dong had acted quickly enough. Only a handful of people had known about Tang San's Dark Blue Silver Emperor devouring the forest, but now Spirit Hall had dragged it into the open and slapped the label "Fallen One" on him.
Since the Heaven Dou Empire and Spirit Hall had jointly issued the wanted order, it meant Tang San no longer had a place on the continent. Together, the territories of the Heaven Dou Empire and Spirit Hall covered more than ninety percent of the continent, and even the remaining neutral regions could not shelter someone jointly wanted by the two great powers.
The title "Fallen One" was harsher than murderer. It meant the person had been classified as "inhuman" or "anti-human." Any Soul Master could legally kill them without reason or trial.
Shui Bing'er dismounted as well and walked over to Bing Yekong's side, looking at the wanted notice. She fell silent for a while before softly asking, "Xiao Wu... is she really a soul beast?"
"Yes," Bing Yekong said. "A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft-Boned Rabbit in human form. Her relationship with Tang San isn't ordinary."
Shui Bing'er did not ask anything further. She merely tugged lightly at Bing Yekong's sleeve. "Let's go. Stop looking."
Bing Yekong pulled his gaze away from the wanted notice and mounted his horse. Tianshui Academy's convoy set out again, leaving the gates of Heaven Dou City and traveling along the official road toward Element City.
