"What happened?" Chen Fan asked calmly. The Blazing Heaven Sword Qi within him had returned to tranquility, gathering in his dantian. His cultivation still appeared no different from that of an ordinary Qi Refining Ninth Layer cultivator. Unless a powerhouse above the Golden Core Realm was present, no one would be able to see through him.
At this moment, he noticed that several unfamiliar disciples were also staring at him with cold expressions.
"This has nothing to do with you. Leave at once," Mo Bai said gravely.

Chen Fan frowned slightly and was just about to speak when Mo Bai stepped out again and said coldly, "Senior Brother, we came out this time to search for Chen Fan's whereabouts. There is no need to waste time on irrelevant people."
Chen Fan was startled upon hearing this. He swept his gaze over those disciples again, his brow furrowing even tighter. Mo Bai was warning him that someone was looking for him. And by addressing that dark-faced man as Senior Brother, he was telling Chen Fan that these people were not from Heavy Sword Peak.
"What are you wary of?" Chen Fan paid it no mind and asked in a low voice.
