Boom—
They had moved too fast. By the time the Tower Master looked up, still coughing blood, the Second Teleportation Array had activated, and Ye Qiu and the others had vanished.
They had blown up the Teleportation Array behind them, too!
The Tower Master was dumbstruck.
He had dared to double back?
With so many people hunting him, he had still dared to come back?
Where's my chrysanthemum?
Where's my box?
My lifeblood!
Ye Qiu, damn your ancestors!
Boom—
While he fumed and coughed up even more blood, the Teleportation Array shook again.
The members of the Immortal Gathering Tower and the True Dragons who had pursued Ye Qiu appeared together, their faces turning utterly grim.
That brat had some nerve!
He had gone to Fog City, struck the Immortal Gathering Tower there, then circled back and attacked here.
Unfortunately, even after following him back, they were too late.
And when they tried to resume the chase, they saw the utterly destroyed Teleportation Array.
He had escaped!
The man had escaped!
Right under their noses—not once, but twice!
"Send word to every Immortal Gathering Tower! Kill Ye Qiu at any cost!" an elder roared at the sky.
His roar had barely faded when the Jade Slip on his person began chiming without pause. He took it out and pressed it to his forehead.
His savage expression grew even more ferocious. His face flushed red, and blood flooded his eyes.
They had gone to West City and struck the Immortal Gathering Tower there.
Boom—
As his fury reached its peak, the Jade Slip chimed a second time. Another message arrived.
Pfft—
The elder threw back his head and spat a great mouthful of blood. It shot skyward, staining a broad swath of air a glaring red.
Fire City had fallen too!
