His attempt to act tough had backfired. Instead, he'd been outsmarted and his identity exposed. This left Jiang Jichen incredibly frustrated, his face a cold mask the entire way.
He had saved the boy at the last minute because the youth had tried to persuade Du Fei not to harm Little Yue'Er.
Besides, the Fifth-level Mortal Warrior had been injured as a result.
Carrying Little Yue'Er in his arms and the boy in one hand, Jiang Jichen was still incredibly nimble, darting through the forest without a sound.
He didn't dare linger for even a moment. He had to find a new, secret location to enter another period of secluded cultivation.
Now that his identity was exposed, he was being hunted by both the Mountain Sect and the Golden Snake Sect. He wasn't worried about the old servant in black or the young Spirit Cultivators, but if he encountered any Elder Level masters from the Mountain Sect or Golden Snake Sect, he feared it would be difficult to even escape with his life.
