Chapter 291 Part 1
The starlit night waned, as a group of figures dashed swiftly through the dense forest, several black silhouettes leaped onto tree branches, but no trace of the ghostly figure could be seen in the dark night.
The men immediately climbed down from the trees and quickly converged on one person.
"Lord, we’ve lost sight of the Ghost Shadow," said Qin Yu, the leader, followed by his three brothers. They had been with Yu Yuan for five or six years and were well aware that the Fire Order Squad was dealing with a tricky situation.
"This is the third day," Ju Nanyi frowned slightly upon hearing this. Over these three days, they had frequently received news of the Ghost Shadow, but whenever they gave chase, within a few hundred meters, they would lose its trail.
Moreover, this happened on three consecutive days, as if someone intentionally led them to discover it. What was the purpose behind it?
"Lord, should we..." Qin Yu hesitated before speaking again. They had lost their quarry for three days in a row and it was embarrassing.
Yu Yuan, who was leading another team, had already returned with an equally troubled expression, clearly having achieved nothing.
"Lord, we’ve stationed our men at the foot of the mountain everywhere, but that Ghost Shadow is truly cunning, having escaped the Maze Formation I laid out," said Yu Yuan, looking at Ju Nanyi as if waiting for his command.
Qin Yu and the others had always thought that the Crown Prince would hand the entire Fire Order Squad over to Yu Yuan, but to their surprise, Lord Ju was suddenly brought in.
However, in just a few days, Ju Nanyi, who took over the Fire Order Squad, had already silenced most of their suspicions. His meticulous thoughts pointed out the flaws in the squad, and in these days of chasing the Ghost Shadow, Ju Nanyi personally took the lead, performing his duty diligently, earning the respect of all the brothers in the squad.
Looking up at the dark night sky, Ju Nanyi did not immediately give chase like the previous nights, after spending a whole night without any gain.
