Lu Xiaotian paused for a moment. Gathering these three Nascent Souls had taken him a little while.
"Are we chasing them or not?" Xiang Qingcheng glared at Lu Xiaotian. Although Lu Xiaotian's strength was already formidable enough in her eyes—even Xiang Kuang might not necessarily have been able to do anything to him after using the Xiang Kingdom's inheritance techniques—Lu Xiaotian had not given her the slightest chance to fight alongside him. What if something happened to him?
"We're not chasing them. I'm going back to look for Junior Sister Su."
Lu Xiaotian shook his head. If there had only been one or two of them, he would certainly have chased after them and slaughtered all those members of the Zhao Clan, reducing the number of people who knew the secret of the dragon essence. However, there were as many as four Zhao Clan members who had escaped. If he insisted on pursuing them, they would scatter and flee once they realized they were outmatched. Even with his abilities, he could not possibly keep all four of them there at once. After all, all four were great cultivators, experts on about the same level as Patriarch Mangxiao. If they focused solely on saving their own lives, the possibility of Lu Xiaotian keeping them all there was extremely low. Even with the Tracking Hound, pursuing the Zhao Clan members, who excelled at illusion arts, through that nameless canyon would be exceedingly difficult.
In other words, even if he did not pursue them, given the dangers of the ice cavern and the nameless canyon, those Zhao Clan members might not be able to escape easily. If their luck was bad, it was entirely possible that they would all perish.
By comparison, Lu Xiaotian was more worried about Su Qing's whereabouts.
