After the Imperial Tutor finally extinguished the flame on his beard, he discovered that the thief had disappeared without a trace. He had fled his field of vision.

“There he is! That damned thief has escaped! Chase!”

As he commanded the rest, the Imperial Tutor had begun to give chase.

Huang Yue Li dashed madly away with all her effort; as she was not given even the slightest bit of breathing time.

Although her footsteps had reached an insanely high speed; her fastest speed; she was not able to outrun the Imperial Tutor.

As an expert at the fourth stage, through just his profound qi, he would be able to instantly reach her. His movements was as if he was floating.

Without panicking in the face of death, Huang Yue Li’s hands blurred as another wave of daggers flew out to activate another set of traps.

Before she could catch her breath, she heard shouts from nearby.

“Little thief! Don’t think of escaping! Stand still for me! Quietly wait to be captured, or…if you are captured by this senior you would wish you were dead!”

As she turned her head to look back, Huang Yue Li nearly burst out in laughter.

The previously immortal-looking Imperial Tutor now had a burnt beard, black and red
