At that moment, deep within a secluded stretch of void, two imperceptible fluctuations lay quietly concealed.
From afar, nothing seemed amiss. Yet two figures were hiding there.
"Ying Ji, this is bad. Lu Ren has found us!"
One of the figures spoke in a low voice.
"Ying Qianhun, are you sure he's Lu Ren? How could he possibly detect you? Your Evil Soul has reached the Two-Leaf Realm!"
Surprise filled Ying Ji's voice.
Ying Qianhun's expression grew grave. "How could I mistake him? I followed that fluctuation here and spotted him as soon as I arrived. But I never expected... his senses were so sharp that he spotted me too!"
"What do we do?"
Ying Ji looked to him.
"Don't worry too much. I've already drawn in my Evil Soul Power. I'll stay here and keep watch on them. Go notify Crane Heaven Ancient Ancestor at once!"
Ying Qianhun spoke firmly.
"All right!"
Ying Ji answered and emerged from the void, ready to leave.
"Trying to leave? I'm afraid it's too late!"
Just then, an icy voice rang out. Powerful Chaos Dao Rhyme spread with it, enveloping nearly the entire space.
When Ying Qianhun and Ying Ji saw who had come, disbelief filled both their faces.
"Lu... Lu Ren?"
"How can it be you?"
Terror gripped them both. Neither had imagined Lu Ren had already sensed their presence.
"This is bad! Run!"
Without a moment's hesitation, Ying Qianhun and Ying Ji flickered into the void and fled into the distance.
Both had cultivated the Shadow Escape law and Dao Rhyme. They were certain that once they fled, even someone with a Perfected Dao Fruit would struggle to stop them.
But just as they tried to escape, a domain unfolded around them. Dense chaotic energy spread through it, trapping them inside.
