By the time Ximen Yaoyang finished speaking, Old Ghost Chen Xing and Yan Tianming, who had fought all the way as they rushed over, had already arrived.
Only after they came close did Qin Shaofeng understand.
Yan Tianming's earlier words had clearly sounded as though they were right by his ears, so why had they taken so long to arrive?
Though the battle here had unfolded in the span of lightning and flint,
nearly ten breaths had already passed since Yan Tianming spoke.
For a mere few dozen miles, a peak martial cultivator like him should have arrived in an instant.
Only when he truly saw the two men's condition did a smile appear on Qin Shaofeng's face.
The reason was that Yan Tianming had charged over in frantic haste, only to be blocked by Ximen Li and forced to bulldoze Old Ghost Chen Xing along like a plow.
It seemed that after Ximen Yaoyang came to his side, Old Ghost Chen Xing had deliberately—or perhaps unintentionally—let him through. Otherwise, Yan Tianming would have been delayed for at least several more breaths.
"Ximen Yaoyang, you actually came here as well. Could it be that you think this old man definitely won't make a move against your Chasing Stars Sect?" The moment Yan Tianming recognized Ximen Yaoyang, anger abruptly filled his face.
"This old man naturally would not dare think so."
Ximen Yaoyang bowed slightly and said, "This old man is Ximen Yaoyang. Greetings, Vice Sect Master Xuanwu of the Four Symbols Sect. May I ask why Your Excellency hurried over here in such a rush?"
"Hah?!"
Qin Shaofeng was completely dumbfounded.
Not only him—even Ximen Kuang and the others, who had continued fighting after Qin Shaofeng gave the order, all turned to look over with stunned expressions.
*No way? Heavens
