As the black flames faded, the Flying Eagle cloaked figure streaked through the sky, fleeing straight southeast without a care for the still-raging sharp-metal aura tearing through heaven and earth. Just before he left, he fixed Xu Yi with a venomous glare.
The Flying Eagle cloaked figure had never in his life felt such grief and pain.
Not only had he failed to take down a mere Yin Venerate, he had even been forced to sacrifice the only Level 1 Grade 4 Talisman he had obtained after years of painstaking effort and cautiously following orders.
How precious that Level 1 Grade 4 Talisman was! It was his lifesaving treasure, meant specifically to deal with Yang Venerate mighty figures. Yet now he had used it merely to save himself from a mere Yin Venerate.
What grieved the Flying Eagle cloaked figure even more was that after activating the Level 1 Grade 4 Talisman, his best option was to flee.
Granted, he no longer had the strength to fight Xu Yi. His divine sense was completely useless, and his spells were unlikely to succeed. As for attempting a close-range assassination, he didn't dare gamble on whether that villain might have more fire talismans like the one before.
Since none of his methods could do anything to Xu Yi, the Flying Eagle cloaked figure made his decision at once and withdrew.
Having cultivated to his level, he understood better than anyone how precious life was. He would never take risks without reason.
As for the Shadow-Sound Pearl Xu Yi had produced, he believed that as long as he captured Princess Yinqiu, everything could still be salvaged.
At worst, he could take Princess Yinqiu back to Guide Road. By then, the so-called assassination shown in the footage would all be dismissed as rumor.
