This bizarre chase came without warning. Ye Feng never expected to be dragged into such an absurd situation. Regardless, the threat looming behind him made him feel uneasy.
"If what you say is true, that guy behind us is the royal number one expert, Chifeng! If we keep running like this, we'll be caught sooner or later!" Ye Feng gritted his teeth and reminded them from behind.
He didn't dare to look back; they had already entered a dense forest. Fortunately, this Dark Exchange was far from Ning Cang City, and the wilderness could help conceal their identities. Even so, Ye Feng did not believe they could escape under these circumstances.
The man and woman ahead seemed to understand this as well. However, at this point, aside from running for their lives, they seemed to have no better solution! Turning back to face him? Ridiculous! Unless they could work together to kill him!
Otherwise, if their identities were exposed by the Old Monster behind them, the retaliation afterward would be inevitable. Even with the Heavenly Mechanism Sect as a backing, Ye Feng would still find it hard to escape death!
"I remember there's a swamp up ahead! Perhaps we can lose him there!" the man suddenly said, his tone somewhat sinister.
Ye Feng was taken aback and couldn't help but sneer, "You can't be foolish enough to think that a half-step into the Xuanwu Realm expert could be killed by a swamp, right?"
That was indeed absurd and even impossible!
However, the man ahead replied strangely, "Swamps are places filled with Miasma. I'm not saying we can kill him with the swamp, but at least it can slow him down! It will give us a chance to escape!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng was stunned for a moment before he heard the woman's voice.
"That's unrealistic. A martial artist pursuing a target doesn't rely solely on sight. As long as his Divine Consciousness locks onto us, no matter how much Miasma obscures our vision, we won't be able to hide!"
"Hmph! At least you’re not completely stupid!" Ye Feng coldly mocked from behind.
"Damn it! What do we do then? This won't work! That won't work! Let's just fight it out!" The man shouted in frustration, yet his feet dared not stop for a moment!
Ye Feng shook his head and couldn't help but ridicule them further: "I don't know what your brains have been stuck in, but with such little ability, you dare to rob?"
"Enough! Is it even useful to talk about this now? We're tied together on this line; if we can't even muster the most basic unity, we're dead!" The woman finally asserted herself and scolded them without reservation.
Ye Feng's expression turned cold. He was completely innocent; if it weren't for the concern that the Old Fart behind might not listen to his explanations, he would have stopped long ago!
At this moment, the Miasma of the swamp ahead had already come into view for everyone!
The man in front immediately said, "There's no time! We'll split up and head out from the three directions of the swamp. We'll meet at the forest ahead!"
"Split up? That's asking for death!" Ye Feng immediately objected. If the three of them worked together, they might have a slim chance of survival, but if even one person strayed from the group and was caught by the Old Monster behind them, there would be no hope of survival.
However, this time, the woman did not oppose. Gritting her teeth, she said, "We have no choice. No matter who he chases, it's each person's fate. If we continue to flee together, we'll only make ourselves a bigger target!"
As they spoke, the three of them slipped into the miasma-filled swamp. However, thanks to their agility, they did not sink like ordinary people but moved as if they were phantoms.
"Hehehe! You little brats! This time! I'll make you realize that the mistake you've made is something even His Majesty cannot forgive!" The sharp laughter of the Old Monster came from behind, causing panic among them.
Ye Feng and the others dared not hesitate any longer and rushed in three different directions!
"Remember! Run to the end! There will be a forest where we will meet! If anyone gets targeted by that Old Fart, just pray for yourself!" The man in front said and was the first to disappear into the swamp!
The woman was equally swift; in an instant, she vanished from someone's sight! Ye Feng cursed under his breath while muttering, "Flowing Clouds Overlay, Leap into the Sky!"
As soon as he spoke the command, several cloud-like objects appeared beneath his feet, magically dragging him away from the swamp at an incredible speed! It was so fast that it left people breathless!
This was the Flowing Cloud Steps he had secretly taken from the Scripture Pavilion! It was his first time using it, and it immediately created distance between him and his pursuers!
"Hey! Good kids! It seems Old Man underestimated you! But you won't escape Old Man's grasp!" The perverse expert behind finally arrived at the swamp. It was midnight, and the moonlight cast a hazy glow on his figure.
A faint light illuminated his face—Sky Abyss Empire's Royal Guardian Chifeng! Known as the first person under the Divine Martial Realm, Old Fart turned out to be a mentally vigorous middle-aged man with an impressive appearance!
He murmured a few words to himself before curling his lips into a wicked smile and saying, "Wanting to escape by splitting up is indeed clever. However, when you reach the end of this path, you will eventually regroup. Old Man just needs to block you at the end of the road; how can you fly away?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he moved his feet and bizarrely disappeared from his spot, rushing forward at an incredible speed!
At this moment, the man who had escaped from the swamp first—the instigator of this incident—did not continue to hurry but instead concealed his presence and hid in a towering tree!
The dense branches provided him with excellent camouflage! With his aura nearly zeroed out, it was difficult for anyone to lock onto him; as long as he wasn't seen by anyone within sight, almost no one could find him!
It seems that the words he spoke before leaving were nothing but lies!
"How could I not have thought of a backup plan? I just didn't expect to actually provoke that Old Monster. Sigh, I wonder how Lian'er is doing. Logically, Chifeng shouldn't pursue a woman, but I ended up harming that friend. Hey brother, don't blame me; I was left with no choice!"
As he spoke, he took out the Nine-Curved Reincarnation Sword. The sword's extraordinary nature had already been evident from the very beginning, showcasing its divine power. As the main character of this robbery incident, even with a different owner, it still radiated a dazzling brilliance!
However, the man used a secret technique to conceal the Thunder Light of the Nine-Curved Reincarnation Sword, murmuring, "This sword should rightfully belong to our Unity Clan. Since it came here with the envoy from the Qin Empire, we've faced enough disasters along the way. I never expected the Dark Exchange to be so treacherous!"
In just a few short sentences, a grand conspiracy was revealed! It turned out that this man was actually affiliated with the envoy from the Qin Empire! But what kind of force was this Unity Clan he mentioned?
"Hmph, our master forged this sword personally, intending to present it as a treasure to your emperor, yet it was snatched away by your own people midway! That old Chifeng pretends to be loyal to the royal family, but in reality, he's just a petty thief! He's merely a hidden traitor lurking near the royal court!"
"If it weren't for the envoy's foresight in sending me and Lian'er ahead to investigate, this journey would have become a great joke! The seniors in our Sect have long been dissatisfied with this generation's actions; if they were given an excuse, how could we continue living well?"
"Unity Clan, oh Unity Clan, beset by internal and external troubles, what can we do?" The man sighed deeply at last and stopped pondering. He put away the Nine-Curved Reincarnation Sword and looked up at the moon, seemingly revealing some homesickness!
However, he could never have imagined that his mutterings were overheard by another person!
"Who is this guy? What is his connection to the envoy sent to the Sky Abyss Empire?" Ye Feng hid in the shadows, gazing at the figure concealed in the large tree nearby with a shocked expression!
Hiding in the bushes and concealing all his presence like his counterpart, Ye Feng's keen hearing allowed him to catch every word! He finally realized that this incident was far from simple!
He decided to closely follow this man's footsteps without taking any detours for his own reasons! In his view, the trustworthiness of this man and woman was extremely low; blindly believing their words would only lead him astray! The greatest feature of Flowing Cloud Steps was its ability to follow seamlessly without being detected by anyone!
Moreover, since Ye Feng's hidden cultivation level surpassed that of his target, throughout this journey, the man remained completely unaware that he had already been targeted! However, it wasn't Chifeng who was after him but rather disciples of Heavenly Mechanism Sect whom he had wronged!
"It seems I need to clarify this matter; perhaps it will unravel an even greater secret! Master Guang, you sent me to this Dark Exchange. Although I haven't yet obtained any auxiliary materials for the Heavenly Origin Pill, it seems there are even better things waiting for me!"
Ye Feng revealed a sly smile; situations like catching a mantis while a yellow bird waits behind are rare. Now he had discovered information about sect movements across the world—something truly fortuitous!
Just as he pondered what to do next, there was suddenly some movement beneath his feet!
Ye Feng looked down and immediately turned pale, realizing something was wrong! There was actually a snake slithering around! He quickly reacted, stabbing the snake's vital point with his finger, instantly killing it! Unfortunately, the movement of the snake still triggered the sensitive reflexes of a nearby warrior.
"Who is it!" The man hiding among the branches of a towering tree sharply heard something and immediately became alert! His Divine Consciousness began to search the surroundings!
At this distance, if he really searched thoroughly, any trace of aura that could be sensed would be revealed! Ye Feng understood this principle and braced himself to reveal his presence!
The awkwardness of meeting again caused the man's expression to turn strange as he looked at Ye Feng with evident embarrassment, clearly at a loss for what to do!
Ye Feng cleared his throat a few times, feeling a bit awkward as if caught in an improper act, but soon this feeling dissipated because the other party was far more flustered than he was!
"You, what are you doing here! Shouldn't you be in the front woods meeting up with us?" the man said anxiously!
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng revealed a cold smile and said, "Don't be naive. I've already discovered your secret. Do you think pretending nothing happened will fool me?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the man opposite him choked up. He stared intently at Ye Feng, seemingly considering whether to kill him to silence him. The cold glint in his eyes exuded a powerful aura; this man was clearly not someone to be trifled with!
However, Ye Feng remained unafraid. Faced with this situation, he was already prepared, with his hands behind his back, ready to summon the Weilian Shattered Immortal Spear at any moment!
The atmosphere in the area suddenly became tense, as if a great battle was about to begin!
