"Whoosh!"
A dark figure continuously flickered through Emerald Mist Ridge.
He only stopped once he completely ran out of the boundaries of Emerald Mist Ridge.
"Hah!"
Li Chuan drew in deep breaths, regulating his aura.
The moment he spotted Fu Liu earlier, he pushed his Void-Gap Formless Step to the absolute limit without stopping for a single second.
He was not afraid of Fu Liu, but rather worried that North Wind was there too!
It was just that...
A trace of doubt flashed in Li Chuan's eyes.
Fu Liu sensed my presence just now.
And judging by the look in her eyes, there was obvious killing intent.
Yet why didn't she give chase?
From the surface, he was merely an ordinary Early Gang Force cultivator.
He was practically among the most ordinary of that tier, having just entered Gang Force without tempering his True Gang much at all.
In Fu Liu's perspective, pursuing him should have been a very simple matter.
Furthermore, Zhu Zhongye was not by his side, so she could not have been intimidated on that account.
Li Chuan pondered to himself, continually ruling out other possibilities.
In the end, only one seemingly unreasonable explanation remained.
To be able to make Fu Liu hold back her killing intent...
Could it be North Wind?
If North Wind told Fu Liu not to do that, then it made sense.
Yet.
Why?
Had he not betrayed the Heavenly Blade Sect and broken ties with the old man?
Could he still be mindful of their martial-brotherly camaraderie?
Li Chuan's mind was filled with doubt.
Once I head back, I'll have to ask the old man to clear this up! Li Chuan made his decision and began making his way back.
He did not catch sight of Zhu Zhongye's figure along the entire
