Another month passes very quickly. And the things went normally as expected by the spectators. Many teams either perished or surrendered in order to stay alive. So the competition has become pretty boring.
In the meanwhile, Arjun killed many people and his cultivation level had risen to another level. Even though he didn't reach the required 100,000,000 points, he made some progress. In fact, he is yet to reach 20,000,000 million points mark yet.
At this point, Arjun sensed something. He immediately turned back and found a person who was completely in bruises.
Of course, Arjun recognised this person instantly. He immediately narrowed his eyes. He asked, "What happened to you? Who beat you like this? And where is Ivan?"
It looks like the person who appeared in front of Arjun was one of the followers of Young Master Ivan. Arjun could understand that things were not looking good. Something might have definitely happened.
That person sighed. He hurriedly said, "Big Brother! Please save my Young Master! He was kidnapped!"
"What?" ,Arjun was taken aback. He immediately understood what the situation is. Even though he was just 35 years old, thanks to his countless reincarnations, his experience is as vast as universe. He immediately understood what the situation is just by this minor detail. He also instantly guessed the culprit.
But he didn't jump to the conclusion immediately. He said, "Fill me the details."
"Yes." ,That person said, "A week ago, we were ambushed and beaten down by a bunch of people. Initially we didn't recognise these people. But then these people showed their faces. The one who I am post and beaten us were actually the people from the Silverwing Clan and the Trott Clan! Young Master Luke was clearly there."
Arjun shook his head and said, "That's not right. I have already eliminated almost all the elites from the Silverwing Clan and the Trott Clan. Of course, only Luke could pose threat to Ivan. But his strength is not enough to do all this. If I am not wrong then there is someone else who is pulling the strings from behind the scene. Who is it?"
That person said, "It's just as big brother said. There is indeed someone behind all this. And that person has most terrifying background."
"Is it Steve?" ,Arjun asked.
"Y-Yes!" ,That person was terrified. He never thought that Arjun had such a terrifying insight. He said, "It is Steve from the Raven Sect! And Young Master Kenneth was also taken as the hostage. In fact, all of our teammates were taken as hostages. And they have a demand."
"What is it?" ,Arjun smiled and asked.
That person said, "Th-They wanted you to go to their place. And they wanted you to go alone. All of our people were taken as hostages. Only I was left so that I can find and deliver the message to you."
That person said, "They gave me this tracking paper. They asked me to give it to you so that you can track their location."
Tracking paper is a piece of paper which has the properties of tracking. If a person infused their Inner Energy, then that Tracking Paper will be bound to them forever.
Then another Tracking Paper will be given to another person. This Tracking Paper will be infused with the Inner Energy as well. This second person could track the first person easily using the Tracking Paper. Because the second Tracking Paper will always point towards the direction where the first tracking paper located.
Of course, it has it's range. As long as, the distance between the first and the second person was not that long, everything was fine. If that distance was crossed, then the tracking paper won't work.
But it was enough for Steve to use it in this vast forest. Arjun smiled. He took out a pill and gave it to that person. He said, "Don't worry. I will definitely go and save them. Take this pill. It will help you to recover from your wounds."
"Yes." ,That person said gratefully, "Thank you Big Brother!"
"And keep yourself safe. There might be more people who will look for you. Even though you don't have the past in your position, it is best to stay safe." ,Arjun said.
"Thank you, big brother. Don't worry about me. If some enemy comes to me whom I can't handle, then I will immediately surrender. After all, I don't have anything valuable in my possession that could help the other party." ,That person said.
Arjun nodded his head. He then followed in the direction where the tracking paper is pointing out. He rushed immediately. While he was in his way, he was cursing very badly.
Actually, Arjun had the liberty to know the overall situation in the forest. Through Jimmy he could see everything that was being displayed on the screen. But the in charge of the broadcast was stingy enough to show only the main and eye catching events that was taking place within the forest.
If they broadcasted the kidnap of Ivan and Kenneth, then he would have been on alert. But most of the broadcast was about that bastard Bruce.
Since the beginning of the competition, he always remained at the first position. And with his fame, most of the time, the thing that broadcasted was all about him.
So it became one of the reason why Arjun couldn't get the Intel about their kidnap beforehand.
But Arjun was not that angered. After all, he had countless of means to save his friends. So he rushed towards the base of that Luke.
——
"What are you laughing for?" ,At that time, in a particular place, Young Master Luke asked Young Master Ivan who was actually smiling even though he knew the situation he was in. Did he go crazy or something?
"I am laughing at your naive idea." ,Young Master Ivan replied, "You know about brother Arjun very well. You have seen him participating in the preliminaries. Instead of living your life, you are actually inviting your own death? If I shouldn't smile then what exactly should I do?"
"Shut up!" ,Young Master Luke shouted. He replied, "So what? It doesn't matter anymore. He killed my brother. And you think that I should just stay silently and do nothing? You bastards started to as like him as soon as you learned that he is a Dao Master. So what if he is a Dao Master? Young master Steve is also a Dao Master here. And most importantly, young master here has the entire Raven Sect behind him! So it is just the matter of time before he dies."
