Chapter 513: The weak are food for the strong

Jolie recalled what happened just now and winced before saying, "You don't want to know." She walked over to the other man to interrogate him but as she closed in on the motionless figure, the air around her suddenly crackled with the sound of two arrows sliced through the stillness, swiftly finding their mark in the assassin's chest. Another set of arrows flew past killing the other assassin. 

Startled, Jolie and Qie Xieling whirled around, their senses on high alert. Their eyes scanned the surrounding bamboo forest, searching for the source. In the distance, obscured by the thick foliage, a figure emerged, a shadowy presence with a bow in hand. Before they could react, the silence was shattered by the haunting laughter of an elder, echoing through the tranquil grove.
