After he had gone some distance, Lu Xiaotian suddenly furrowed his brows again. He raised a hand and swept it toward the lotus pond, laying a simple restriction over the entire pond.
Whether this affected the growth of the Chizi Nether Lotus was no concern of Lu Xiaotian's. He had already obtained what he wanted. He had also gotten what Yu Xiaoqiao needed and what he had promised the Firecloud Monster. Why should he care whether Ye Qianxun needed anything else?
With Little Fire Crow's help, he returned to the Star Luo Fire Domain. Looking back, he saw that the lotus pond inside the blue barrier was now completely concealed by the restriction Lu Xiaotian had cast. Unless someone went near the pond, neither the naked eye nor divine sense could penetrate the restriction and see what was inside.
"Concern breeds confusion. Perhaps I don't need to escape somewhere else using the teleportation formation. There may be a better option." The deputy Primordial Spirit considered how Ye Qianxun might react upon discovering something amiss here, and began to form a rough plan.
With the whole situation accounted for, the deputy Primordial Spirit guided Little Fire Crow to reunite with Lu Xiaotian's true body.
Little Fire Crow passed through the Star Luo Black Flame without obstruction.
At that moment, a man with graying temples and a naturally imposing face came flying through the void. Even Star Luo Black Flame, which even Integrated Body cultivators feared and avoided, was pushed several feet away by the surging magic power around him.
The newcomer was Ye Qianxun's true body. His usually calm eyes now flashed with fury from time to time.
Ye Qianxun had not been this enraged in thousands of years. There were only two things that could make him so angry now.
