After his pursuers had moved on, Chu Qingyun kept the Hidden Qi Technique active and quickly fled in the opposite direction.
With his current strength, he might be able to kill a single Great Xia Guard Captain. Against two, he could perhaps escape unscathed. But facing three or even four at once, he stood no chance of victory.
After all, his Realm was only that of a Fifth-level Martial Artist, a full four levels below them.
Chu Qingyun desperately wanted to go back and kick Zhang Yunqiu to death, but he knew that once Huang Ju and his men realized they'd been tricked, they would certainly return to find Zhang Yunqiu.
Therefore, to be safe, Chu Qingyun suppressed his murderous intent. He chose to avoid a direct confrontation for now, planning to find an opportunity later to deal with them and reclaim his Puppet.
As long as he could find enough cultivation resources to raise his Realm, Chu Qingyun was confident he could handle them!
