Xu Qingtong formed mudras in rapid succession with both hands, sending them into the Heaven and Earth Bowl one after another. He pushed its spirit-refining power to its utmost, hoping to refine Yin Wanchou as quickly as possible.

Cang Yan had been about to strike, only to come up empty-handed. His face turned livid with rage, and his powerful divine sense rapidly spread in all directions, searching for traces of the fugitive.

Suddenly, he felt a strand of divine sense lock firmly onto him.
"He found me so quickly!" Startled, Xu Qingtong muttered to himself.
He hurriedly stood up, formed mudras, and cast his spell again,
