Although Qin Huaian had never met Duan Linchuan, many high-ranking cultivators made a point of learning to recognize the leaders of the seven great powers. Qin Huaian was naturally no exception.
So, he recognized at a glance that this was Duan Linchuan.
Damn it! How did I run into Duan Linchuan here? Qin Huaian cursed inwardly.
But he also realized that such a massive upheaval in the secret realm world would inevitably reach the ears of the leaders of those great powers.
Moreover, the Kun Yuan Dao Repository Stele that had appeared in the Central Fire Sea would certainly draw the attention of many people.
Qin Huaian believed that this place would soon become a land of turmoil.
Therefore, after encountering Xing Wanjun and gaining a preliminary understanding of the outside situation, Qin Huaian resolutely decided not to approach the Central Fire Sea any further. Instead, he would first leave this former secret realm continent.
He had no desire to fight a Daluo Golden Immortal right now—especially not a Daluo Golden Immortal like Duan Linchuan, who wanted him dead.
He knew far too little about Daluo Golden Immortals. He had no idea what level of strength they truly possessed.
At such a close distance, no matter how fast Qin Huaian flew, he could hardly surpass the speed of teleportation.
Though every teleportation had a brief interval between uses, Duan Linchuan covered seven or eight thousand li with each teleport. He would catch Qin Huaian in no time.
"Sacred Lord Duan, there is no deep-seated hatred between us. Must you truly wipe me out completely?" Qin Huaian shouted.
Qin Huaian wanted to stall for time and see whether any other Daluo Golden Immortals would arrive.
If he could avoid fighting Duan Linchuan for now, that would be the best possible outcome.
