The purple-robed man's movements were truly unconventional. Instead of traveling in the opposite direction from Lu Xiaotian and then chasing after him from behind, he had taken a different route. Earlier, Lu Xiaotian had headed north, while the purple-robed man had gone east.
But afterward, the purple-robed man had circled around to wait in front of Lu Xiaotian. If Lu Xiaotian had not already become familiar with this man's aura, and if his Primordial Spirit had not been stronger than the purple-robed man's, he truly would not have detected the man's presence. One wrong move, and he might have been ambushed by the purple-robed man before him.
Now that he had discovered him, Lu Xiaotian was in no hurry. He merely lay low where he was without moving. He did not follow the purple-robed man's example and circle around to ambush him from the front.
This mysterious purple-robed man was most likely a late-stage Body Integration expert. Lu Xiaotian reckoned that, aside from his Primordial Spirit being somewhat stronger than the other man's, he probably was not his match if they truly exchanged blows. The purple-robed man's direction was the same as his own, so he had certainly come for the Chizi Netherlotus as well. Once he discovered Lu Xiaotian, he would inevitably try every means to eliminate him, lest he interfere with his acquisition of the treasure.
At present, the contest was one of patience.
Until he had confirmed that the purple-robed man had completely left, Lu Xiaotian would not act rashly.
"Could that boy Lu Xiaotian have not come for the Chizi Netherlotus?" The purple-robed man now had the same doubt in his heart.
"I wonder what method Lu Xiaotian used to break the restrictions inside Ye Qianxun's Earthly Baleful Soul-Seizing Pool." The purple-robed man stroked his chin.
