At that moment, no one noticed an utterly inconspicuous Heavenly Dawn Sect disciple among the fleeing crowd glance toward Qi Song, a thoughtful gleam flashing through his eyes.
If no one else believed in the existence of the two seniors the Azure Tide Sect disciples had mentioned, he did.
On their fifth day of running, Qi Song encountered another familiar face.
It was Ouyang Yanyu, sprinting straight toward them.
But while she was still some distance away, she suddenly turned around and ran.
The cultivator pursuing Ouyang Yanyu finally realized something was wrong this time.
He saw a whole crowd charging toward them, and only then did he remember the divine sense he had not used in so long.
His face turned ashen in an instant. He now strongly suspected that Ouyang Yanyu had done this deliberately, but whatever the truth was, escaping with his life was all that mattered now.
Just then, Ouyang Yanyu's laughter rang out ahead. "Don't you have the ancient divine artifact, the Evergreen Sword, fellow Daoist? Why are you running with us? Perhaps one slash from you would reduce that sixth-tier demon beast to dust and ashes!"
An elder of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance in the crowd heard the words "Evergreen Sword," and his expression shifted, but he ultimately said nothing. After all, once an auction house sold an item, the money and goods had changed hands. Whatever the item's condition, the dust had settled, and nothing could change that.
Although the Heavenly Dawn Sect disciple loathed Ouyang Yanyu, he had to admit that her words had reminded him of something. His Evergreen Sword was so powerful-surely he stood a chance of fighting it...
With that thought, he involuntarily slowed down, and before long, he had fallen into the middle of the crowd.
