Having dealt with the Late Stage Celestial Immortal Realm demon beast, Xuan Hao didn't linger around and began moving in the direction that Huo fen and Meng Jie had escaped in when he had knocked the now dead demon beast flying before it could reach the two of them.
Given just how much stronger he was compared to the two of them, he was fully confident in being able to catch up with the two of them before they had a chance to disappear again. Especially so considering their main path of escape in the form of the spatial artifact had been rendered useless inside the Verdant Abyss and while his own spatial movement had also been restricted in a similar way, he could at the very least rely on his Illusory Light Steps to ensure his movement wasn't too affected.
