Capítulo 160: Acting Lord & The Guest

In the Beastmen village near The Dreaded Lands, few months later.

"Shhh... He's coming..." whispered Zhinshi from beside Neo.

Neo stopped talking and immediately mimicked a Whisperwing bird's calling, signaling to the others that their prey was near. It was a group of Ashenvale soldiers, one of the many that had wandered into their valley recently. They were cautious of their surroundings, but not as much as they should have been.

The knight leading the small group suddenly stopped. Neo's heart raced—had they been discovered? Did the knight figure it out? But after a tense moment, the knight continued moving, taking slow, deliberate steps. He was more alert now, but it was too late for it.

"Do it..." Neo whispered, as if commanding the winds itself, even though he knew no one was listening to him.
