He Ao's speed wasn't fast, as his body had been charred, and every step came with excruciating pain.
Yet even so, he managed to escape a considerable distance, relying on various techniques.
Eventually, he was caught up by Noan on the rooftop of an abandoned building.
Noan's insistence on killing He Ao actually stemmed from a 'lure' that He Ao had placed on himself.
Though the lure's effect was weakened on B-level powerhouses, if the bait held a special attraction to the target, the effect would be greatly strengthened.
As long as the mockery was appropriate, Noan would be drawn to He Ao.
When Noan caught up to He Ao, he found him crouching in a corner of the rooftop, struggling to support himself with a short sword.
"I actually have a question,"
He Ao looked up at Noan, "About two hundred kilometers south of Dawn City, there is a snowy mountain named Winno. Beneath the mountain is a thriving camp. Have you ever sent someone to attack that camp?"
