After the Giant Python swam away, Zhaang Ye continued his Cultivation under the marsh for a while longer. He then used the Power-Borrowing Technique to travel over ten li beneath the marsh before carefully emerging.
It was quiet outside the marsh, with not a soul in sight. The terrifying, linen-clothed middle-aged man had also left at some point.
After confirming his safety, Zhaang Ye greedily gulped down mouthfuls of fresh air.

He had already been down there for some time, pushing his limits. If he hadn't been able to return to the surface, he would have surely suffocated to death beneath the marsh.
"Hm?"
Just as he was greedily gulping down fresh air, Zhaang Ye suddenly sensed a powerful aura approaching him at an astonishing speed.
