To keep me from being exposed, Chou chose to leave. Thus, in the blink of an eye, Chou's figure appeared among the clouds, fleeing at top speed toward the side of the mountain gate, away from Mount Hanxian!
I wasn't the only one who noticed. Countless immortals rose into the sky one after another and swiftly pursued Chou, to say nothing of Shaozheng Yifu and the others. Not a single head of an aristocratic clan failed to chase after Chou!
My face darkened, and I sent my voice out coldly. "Is there no one outside the mountain gate who can explain what happened? You're just planning to leave like this. Isn't that a little too hasty?"
That group of immortals seemed to disregard my existence completely. I hardened my heart and immediately used Shrinking Earth to teleport into the sky, then shot toward Chou at even greater speed!
At that moment, all the immortals were pursuing Chou. The Hanxian Sect wanted to keep her and question her thoroughly, while the aristocratic clans naturally wanted to capture her and use ghost-path sorcery to force her to reveal the entire truth.
Yet for Chou's sake, they had actually ignored the explosions happening at the mountain gate. Something was seriously wrong. Perhaps the aristocratic clans knew what was happening there. It was very likely that they had lured me away, planning to assassinate Geng Xiu together and leave the competing team one person short, making it impossible for them to complete the competition.
No one answered my question, and naturally, my expression grew ugly. Under the Origin Creation Art, my magical power was being consumed enormously. Simply flying through the sky at top speed consumed far more than usual, so if I wanted to continue, someone would have to be buried alongside me!
