"What was going on?"
It had to be said, after all these years on the Dou Qi Continent, taking part in grand events with the various factions and interacting closely with them, this really was the first time she had seen a scene like this.
She had seen people seeking revenge, and she had seen people who took the initiative to stir up trouble, but she truly had never seen someone flee in panic the moment their auras brushed against each other.
Could that person have been running for his life?
"Has he been running for his life so long that he's lost all sense of direction?"
Watching the man who had looked so aggressive a moment ago turn and vanish without a trace, Xiao Yan did feel somewhat offended, but not enough to chase him down over such a minor matter.
Still, being surprised was naturally unavoidable.
"Or is someone chasing him?"
Xiao Yan murmured instinctively. It was only a perfectly natural train of thought, but before Yao Wan could give any answer, the distance seemed to respond to Xiao Yan's mutter with an answer of its own.
"To run into something like this right after arriving... that really is something else."
As those unconscious mutterings echoed from her mouth, Yao Wan shifted her gaze away from the direction in which that person had disappeared, then looked toward another direction—the direction that person had come from.
With a furious roar like a dragon's cry exploding beside their ears, rumbling like muffled thunder, there was not the slightest trace of cloud within a thousand miles overhead or as far as the eye could see. A streak of light and shadow smashed straight through the restraints of space and rushed toward where Yao Wan and the others stood.
"No way. Again?"
