Lin Yuan did not rush over immediately.
When he was still dozens of miles from the execution platform, he stopped behind a bank of clouds.

There was still time.
The three Interception Sect disciples traveling with him likewise concealed their auras.
The Taiyi senior brother among them asked in a low voice, "Do we snatch him directly?"

A person everyone believed was certain to die.
Yet he had survived all the way until
