Sfsh... shf.. shf.. shf.. [Foothold of Guluan mountains] "Huff... huff...", a tanned young man was running through the forest. His hair was snow white, all ruffled up resembling a monkey. His body slim, agile and well built. He was carrying a sachet filled with scrolls, and relics, and wore a warrior monks armor. "Damn, barely made it out alive." "AKELUS!!!", a roar echoed throughout the forest, the mountain trembled under the pressure. A man was floating high above the mountain, peering onto the vast expanse of the forest. "Surrender, and the Murim Alliance may spare your life.", said the man as his voice rumbled across the mighty mountain range. Dongfang Zhang, the benevolent and powerful sect leader of the Mt. Hua sect, spearheading the Murim Alliance. "Akelus, I won't give you another chance to redeem yourself, to repent on your past deeds. Continue this charade, and I will... end your miserable life." "....", Akelus just kept running, in fact he bolted even faster. "I know you can hear me, you thief. So, this is your response. A futile resistance. Hmm... so be it.", Sect Leader Zhang, assimilated his Qi together, Cherry blossom petals covered him, and he disappeared. In his place stood a giant white tree, cherry blossoms blooming from it. [Fall of Autumn] One by one the blossoms withered and fell down. Rustle... Whroosh... Withered pink blossoms crashed, raining down on the forest. First pink, slowly withering to peach and finally burning red. "Shit, the geezer won't let off easy this time, huh?", chuckled Akelus. his eyes shining, as he bolted even faster. [Pathfinder] Several arrows appeared around Akelus, pointing in different directions. Some shined in bright gold while some were red, others were mostly colored black. "These many dead ends. Damn, it seems that the esteemed Sect Leader really wishes to kill me.", said Akelus, as he ran in the direction that the golden arrows were pointing. BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! The gigantic blossoms rained upon the lands, razing the forest, burning it away. A chain reaction. Some parts of the forest turned barren, while some caught on fire. Ethereal green [Aura of Nature], spread across the forest, healing it, returning it's lush greenery. While Akelus avoided every blossom crashing upon him as he followed the Golden trail of arrows. "Forest of Guluan, it is to be expected, it won't be razed to the ground. Qi around here is quiet dense.", sighed Sect Leader Zhang. "It is the ruins of Sheng He after all. We cannot smoke out that wretched cur." "What to do now Alliance Master?", said Feng Ren, Sect Leader of Wudang. "Command our troops to scour the forest, Akelus won't leave Guluan alive.", thundered Sect Leader Zhang. "At your behest, Alliance master.", bowed Feng Ren. Feng Ren descended. "Gather the seven Dragons, Tell them trace down Akelus. The three Phoenixes will seal up Guluan.", Feng Ren, ordered one of the Wudang elders. ************* ************** ************** "Huuu..." [Foothold of Guluan Mountains] Three Platoons were marching forward, lead by three young men, who were flying above, surveying the forest. "It's him again... it's always him. Stealing from us, right under our nose, yet again making a fool out of all of us.", sighed Kai Sheng, Young master of Mt. Hua Sect. "So all the more reason for us to capture him this time, senior brother. We have to make sure he does not escape.", said Xie He, First sword of the Wudang sect. "But it's Akelus. He always escapes." said Bao Hu, Kunlun Sect's First Disciple. Right then, a translucent light shot up, a barrier formed . [Dome of Myriad Tribulations] "And right now, we have to make sure that he doesn't, for he has taken something extremely important for our righteous cause. That's why we have all the seven Dragons and three Phoenixes working together.", retorted Xie He. "Dragons of other sect have already started combing this forest, while the three Phoenix have finished sealing up this place. We have to make sure Akelus does
