In the forest, when the old man stepped out of the sunlight, I felt a sudden suffocation. Wasn't he the old man who had chased me all over the mortal and nether worlds?!
After all that training, the blue talisman hidden in my sleeve quickly flew into my hand. I formed several seals behind my back, and I was ready to cast Fleetstep.
"Senior, what exactly are you trying to do?" There had to be a reason for this. What was the point of chasing me every day?!
Purple Bamboo glanced at the world around her before finally looking at the old man, but she still wore that sleepy expression and showed no sign of helping. I couldn't count on her either. I took her hand and prepared to flee.
"Xia Yitian, after killing so many people from the Nine Swords Living Slaughter Association, do you think you can just run away?" The old man's hands were empty, yet Sword Qi seemed to boil all over his body. It was as if having no sword surpassed having a sword.
The feeling made me extremely uncomfortable. It was just like the old sword slave standing behind Li Poxiao—the aura he gave off was overwhelmingly powerful. Could he also be a half-step Transcendent Immortal?
But how could there be so many experts at the peak of Enlightenment in this world?
"I had something come up last time and didn't get to chase you around for fun. This time, coming up here has brought me another surprise. You're carrying a demon and holding a strange sword. Where do you think you're going? In your current state, do you still think you can escape? Don't forget, I can break through the boundary and descend at any time. I know this place below very well."
