"Another puppet!?"
The Bai Family ancestor suppressed the rage in his heart. With his ability, he could no longer fire a third rib arrow, so he could only draw the bowstring against empty air and scan his surroundings.
But after circling twice, the empty night sky still bore traces of the battle just now—yet there was no sign of Ye Tian whatsoever.
The Bai Family ancestor's aged face was shrouded in gloom. No matter how unwilling he was to believe it, he had to admit that Ye Tian had truly escaped.
Yet whether it was the losses the Bai Family had suffered tonight or Immortal Dao Mountain's lavish bounty for killing Ye Tian, neither allowed the Bai Family ancestor, freshly emerged from years of secluded cultivation, to give up so easily.
