The sound of rapidly travelling wind suddenly sounded within the thick fog as a blue figure swept past. Icy winds blew, freezing the leaves on the nearby trees.
Within the blue light was an enormous ice bird, while Zhou Yuan and Luluo were seated on its back.
Zhou Yuan's brows were slightly furrowed as he looked behind and mumbled to himself, ”The youth in black robes should be the one who joined hands with Wu Huang to injure Yaoyao, Ye Ming,”
”He is indeed no ordinary person.”
Although Ye Ming had yet to do anything earlier, Zhou Yuan's Spirit senses could feel that the level of threat he posed was no less than Wu Huang.
Wu Huang, Ye Ming plus Zhu Ying. The line-up on the other side was clearly much stronger than Luluo and him. That's why Zhou Yuan did not entertain any thoughts of taking them on, but instead made use of the clash with Wu Huang to decisively escape.
”Zhou Yuan, we've entered the fog. It will disrupt our senses, making it very troublesome.” Luluo was rather worried.
Zhou Yuan shook his head. ”We had no choice. A single second later and they would have unleashed their full power to stop us. If we were trapped, it will be extremely unfavorable.”
”Only by entering the fog can we try to shake them off.”
Luluo angrily gnashed her teeth. ”Those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, taking advantage of their numbers. When we join up with big sis Yaoyao and the rest, just see if I won't kill them!”
She was the Little Country Lord of the Thousand Beast Empire. How could she suffer the indignity of being forced to flee.
Zhou Yuan chuckled, much more open-minded in comparison. His eyes narrowed slightly as he recalled his earlier clash with Wu Huang. It was obvious that he was already much stronger than before.
In their previous clash, he had practically been overwhelmed without any resistance, but just earlier, he had been able to receive Wu Huang's attack head-on.
This spoke volumes about his progress.
”Wu Huang, I wonder how you're feeling now?” The corners of Zhou Yuan's mouth curled slightly.

Zhou Yuan's expression suddenly changed as he looked towards the dense fog behind them where faint ripples could be seen. ”Luluo, increase our speed. They've come chasing.”
Luluo was startled. ”Even after we entered the fog? Are they not afraid of losing their bearings?”
Zhou Yuan calmly replied, ”It seems that I've scared Wu Huang too much, and he is now very determined to get rid of me.”
Wu Huang should have also felt Zhou Yuan's progress, progress what was clearly going to soon wrest the situation out of Wu Huang's control.
Luluo lightly patted the ice bird, immediately causing it to release a clear cry. Its wings flapped, cold Qi exploding behind it as its speed rapidly soared, transforming into a blur that swiftly shot forward.
Not long after the ice bird transformed into a blur and disappeared into the distance, the must began to ripple as three figures emerged.
”How fast.” Wu Huang was expressionless.
The vortexes in Ye Ming's eyes swirled as he indifferently said, ”Zhou Yuan has very sharp Spirit senses. His Spirit should be pretty strong, allowing him to sense our approach.”
”But don't worry, he can't escape.”
His gaze suddenly turned to another direction and flicked his finger. A ball of Genesis Qi exploded, transmitting a peculiar undulation.
Soon after, the mist in that direction was torn open as three figures emerged. They were the three other apex level Dongxuan geniuses.
”Jiang Quan, how did it go?” Ye Ming looked towards the youth who had barred Zhen Xu's way.
The baby face Jiang Quan grinned as he nodded. ”He was pretty good, and had a very tough body. However, he is now injured and has fled into the fog.”
Ye Ming's pitch-black eyes scanned the area as he indifferently said, ”No rush, none of them can escape.”
”Go.”
With a wave of his hand, he and Wu Huang flew forward.
