Two black figures flitted across the vast sky, like a meteor catching up with the moon. In a blink of an eye, they entered the dense forest outside the mountain!
When the other numerous pursuers caught up, they had already lost sight of where the two were headed…
When Cao Guo Feng and the rest arrived here, looking at this lush and dense greenery, he couldn’t help but sigh and spit out a mouthful of blood. From the battle earlier, an attack had caught him by surprise and caused him to suffer an internal injury. Then, he forcefully endured the attacks that were raining down, which caused injuries upon injury…
He had managed to endure it until getting here. But finally, he could no longer suppress the injury and it completely exploded!
The might of a Saint Venerable was definitely no small matter!


Amidst the crowd of people that had arrived later, an elder donned in green walked out from the crowd and asked,
What exactly is going on?

The one speaking was the Manor Lord of the Misty Illusory Manor, Miao Jing Yun.
Bai Qi Feng held back his cough and recounted the entire situation in detail.
Thank goodness for Manor Lord’s arrangements in advance; otherwise, if it were merely the seven of us brothers alone, tonight would have been a disaster.

Miao Jing Yun was stunned. A look of confusion was on his face.
But I did not arrange for anyone…

The moment this sentence was said, the faces of Cao Guo Feng and the rest instantly changed!
The Manor Lord would definitely not lie, especially at a time like this. Then… who was that man in black?

Give chase! No matter what! We must catch that black robed man who attacked earlier! This old man also wishes to see who it is, which family is it to be this bold! To send a Saint Venerable to harm a child!
Miao Jing Yun ordered in anger. At the same time, his piercing gaze from the corner of his eyes landed on the Patriarch of the Zhan Family, Zhan Wu Yun, who had just arrived. The warning look in his eyes caused Zhan Wu Yun to tremble with fear…
Miao Jing Yun may be stunned by what Bai Qi Feng said, but he was someone who had vast experience and was quick and decisive. On his command, the tens of Misty Illusory Manor experts who came to help entered the dense forest and began to search!
These people had the minimum strength of a fourth level Saint. Most of them were Saint Emperors. There were also Saint Venerables too. Since they could confirm from what Cao Guo Feng and the rest that the attacker was a Saint Venerable, if there was someone who wouldn’t be a match, then they would just be asking for their asses to get kicked…
Jun Mo Xie had been travelling at full speed, but his killing intent was still oozing out.


The killing intent was strong, but Jun Mo Xie was in no rush to strike back. After all, the person chasing him was a Saint Venerable. His powers were shocking and way above himself. It was no easy feat if Jun Mo Xie intended to kill him. Rashly launching a counter attack would not accomplish anything!
So Young Master Jun had to bear with it until he found a suitable, ideal location, and timing to strike. Killing this audacious fellow in a single strike!
Speaking of this Saint Venerable behind himself, Young Master Jun confirmed that he had never seen him before. When he was at Zhan Family, the two who had surrounded him were also Saint Venerable experts, but they were unlike this person! But Jun Mo Xie could confirm that this person definitely came from the Zhan Family. And was someone who held a significant position in the Zhan Family!
It had only been a day. The Zhan Family had already deployed someone this important to deal with him. The hatred and anger the Zhan Family had towards him was implacable! And they could no longer wait!
You don’t intend to let me live peacefully? Our stance is clear. And it seems that I’ve only ruined your secret base; it wasn’t much of a kick. For the sake of letting the people around me and myself live peacefully, I can only make the Zhan Family experience another huge earthquake! You can die on your own; I’m not joining you! I’ve learned this logic from a young age!

In front, there was a high mountain and the forest was dense and thick!
Jun Mo Xie charged right into it!
Zhan Xiao Xiao had been battling his entire life; how could he turn timid because of a mere dense forest? From his earlier observation, this mysterious expert who brought away the Free and Natural Physique did have profound strength, but there was still a disparity compared to himself. So he had no fear at all; naturally, he followed right in as well!
With a whoosh, the two of them instantly vanished within this dense forest with merely a distance of twenty zhang 
between them.
Right now, it was the beginning of summer. The entire place was thick with lush foliage. A person could completely vanish from sight the moment he entered this place—you wouldn’t even be able to see his head. What’s more, when it was night time right now?


Zhan Xiao Xiao had high Xuan cultivation, so he was able to see things in the dark as if it were in the day. Coupled with his omnipresent strong spiritual sense, he was confident that he would be unconcerned about this hindrance. But the moment he entered the deeper parts of the forest, he instantly detected something amiss.
From the chasing process, he could clearly confirm that the mysterious expert was really not more powerful than himself. But his tactics and methods were unusually sly!
He definitely was not comparable to Zhan Xiao Xiao in terms of speed. But the way he went about escaping was extremely odd! Under most circumstances, he was stronger than the opponent. In the process of giving chase, he just needed to deliver a couple of strikes through the air. Even if he couldn’t kill him on the spot, it would definitely be able to delay him.
But this person had been running in a peculiar, s-shape manner! His position was constantly changing and confusing, and even Zhan Xiao Xiao’s immense spiritual sense couldn’t lock on his location! Especially when it came to turning corners—he would suddenly increase in his speed…
Before making the turn, Zhan Xiao Xiao could clearly close the gap to about ten zhang 
. He only needed to work a little harder and he’d catch up. But after they’ve made the turn, Zhan Xiao Xiao would notice that the distance between them had increased by another eighty zhang 
, and this phenomenon had recurred several times…
This is really unusually odd!

Now they had both entered the forest, this weird feeling was even more distinct.
This mysterious expert was not alone—he was still carrying the boy with the Free and Natural Physique! How did he suddenly vanish without a trace! As if he were a drop of water that fell into the ocean and completely disappeared!
How is that possible?

The moment one entered a forest this lush and dense, to someone who was proficient at tracking, there should be all sorts of traces left! But this fellow before him did not even touch a single blade of grass!


Then where exactly did he escape away from?
Zhan Xiao Xiao had completely no clue. Left without any choice, he decided to just rush up into the skies and observe from above. Finally, he noticed at about hundred zhang 
away, there was an area where the foliage was moving about…

Hmph! Although he is highly skilled, he is just trying to display his mediocre skills before an expert! You can forget about escaping from my hands today!
Zhan Xiao Xiao instantly gave chase in that direction…
It didn’t take long for the two to appear out of the other side of the dense forest during this chase and flee, then turn into another mountain range and change towards another mountain range…
In such a back and forth manner, it seems like we are getting further and further away from the Manor Lord!

Zhan Xiao Xiao naturally felt more relieved as he pursued.
If you are thinking of escaping back, I may still have a couple of qualms, and for the sake of avoiding strong enemies that I cannot win against and maybe expose my own identity, perhaps I’ll even let you off the hook! But you, in your panic, chose the wrong way and fled further and further. Then you can only blame your own poor luck!

Right now, they were about two thousand li 
away from the Manor Lord!
There were obviously no other strong experts around here!

I, Zhan Xiao Xiao, shall be king here! I am the ruler!


You think that you will be able to wear me down just with speed? That’s just a pipe dream!

In a blink of an eye, they passed another few mountains, and they had practically rushed up the highest mountain, then descended at the same time!
Below, it was a ravine!
And it was full of desolation. There weren’t even many trees. It could be said to be a danger spot, but also a natural battlefield!
Zhan Xiao Xiao landed as quick as lightning!
But he halted his steps and stood at that spot, unmoving!
Because before him, that person who was dressed almost the same as himself, the black robed man who had been fleeing the whole time, was also silently waiting over there with his hands behind his back. As if he were specially waiting for him.
The most shocking thing was that there was nothing on this person! That human-like object that he had been carrying was already gone!
He just stood there like that. As if he did not just flee for two thousand li 
. His posture was relaxed, tall and straight, and his breathing was completely steady, with not the slightest sign of trying to catch his breath.
Could it be that he was waiting for me!

Zhan Xiao Xiao suddenly developed this thought.
Could it be that not only do I want to kill him, he also intends to kill me!

But because the fight between us is not suitable to be seen, so he lured me all the way here!

Zhan Xiao Xiao was about to burst out laughing from this thought!
Out of the whole entire Misty Illusory Manor, how many people are confident in saying that they are able to defeat me, and even kill me?

Perhaps there are a few, but it definitely does not include this mysterious expert here!

Someone whose strength is clearly incomparable to me, is absurd enough to think of killing me? That is just mere fantasy!


You’re waiting for me? And intend to kill me?
Zhan Xiao Xiao’s tone was grave and stern. It was very different from how he usually spoke. No matter what, under no circumstances would he expose his identity completely.
Even if it was this stranger he had never met, he would not speak with his original voice.
There were always accidents. If this person managed to survive by some stroke of luck…
Zhan Xiao Xiao had yet to realize that the moment he saw the opponent calmly waiting for himself here, his state of mind had already undergone a minute change!
He was no longer certain!
The entire pursuit earlier, he had already assumed that the opponent was a prey that was in his clutches. He only needed to strike and he could easily kill him! But seeing how calm the opponent was, to be waiting here patiently, he no longer felt that same thrill of ‘the enemy is at the end of his rope’. He was beginning to feel a little apprehensive.
As if… he had already fallen into the trap that the enemy had laid?!
Zhan Xiao Xiao was originally full of confidence, that victory was in his hands. And he was extremely certain that he could easily kill the enemy. But right now, unconsciously, it had turned into ‘if this person manages to escape’…
