After contemplating Sword Intent for a while, Song Yan left the Two-Pole Realm.
Although Chen Linyuan's words had been rather teasing and mocking, they had stirred up Song Yan's rebellious streak.
Indeed, if Elder Mirage really intended to attack him, hiding here and there would be utterly pointless.
If he did nothing but scurry into hiding, living in constant fear, how would he look anything like a Sword Cultivator?
How to grow stronger quickly was what he ought to consider.
As the saying went, heaven never sealed off every path. His confusion gradually receded, replaced by a keen edge that continued to grow slowly beneath the crushing pressure.
Thinking back carefully, his situation was not actually one of certain death.
What had happened this time was probably that, as the Dragon Pearl left Ao Gui's remains, it had resonated with the dragon breath left in him by the shattered Mirage Bead.
That was what had allowed Mirage to invoke the Illusory-Reality Divine Ability from thousands upon thousands of miles away, see his location, and send someone to capture him.
Without that incident, even if he used the Flowers in the Mirror, Moon in the Water Sword Intent, Mirage probably would not be able to detect his whereabouts.
At most, as Chen Linyuan had said, Mirage would sense the growth of the Sword Intent and the changes in the Divine Ability.
Once he thought this through, most of the gloom hanging over his heart dispersed, and Song Yan felt somewhat reassured.
But regardless, the Ruin Sea was ultimately a place occupied by Demon Race forces. Staying here now was not particularly safe.
Song Yan guessed that Mirage was very likely in Yu Abyss at present, so he decided to set off immediately and return to Star Dark Sea.
