This... was this right?!
Although the appearance of the white-clad figure had finally answered the question that had been troubling Chu Tiange.
The problem was...
Even more questions seemed to have sprung up.
Chu Tiange stood dazed among the clouds, letting the wind whip through his tattered clothes.
He had already witnessed the girl's terrifying strength, which defied all reason.
But no matter how he looked at it, he could not understand.
Here, in the perilous territory of the Buddhist Sect, where their enemy held every advantage...
How had she sent a mighty Great Demon of the Buddhist Sect, one in the Myriad-Forms Heaven Late Realm, fleeing in such panic?!
Could it be...
That even his earlier estimate of the girl's strength had been too conservative?!
Just as countless thoughts churned through Chu Tiange's mind, leaving him almost dizzy...
The girl, arriving belatedly on the distant horizon, seemed to notice the commotion and cast him an indifferent glance.
She paused slightly, as though weighing her options.
Then white robes cut through the air as she swept decisively to his side.
"How good is your Escape Art?"
"Uh... fairly good, I think."
At the girl's abrupt question, Chu Tiange answered without thinking.
But the moment the words left his mouth...
Shock crossed his face.
Why would she ask that... unless...
Sure enough.
After hearing his answer, Jiang Yuechu let out a small breath of relief.
With no time to explain, she said in earnest, "Take me with you. Catch up to him as fast as you can."
"Huh?"
Chu Tiange froze, staring wide-eyed at the girl before him.
"What do you mean, 'huh'? Was that hard to understand?"
Jiang Yuechu frowned, a hint of displeasure surfacing. Senior Brother Chu had seemed steady and capable before, like someone she could rely on.
