"Xiao Xiao, run!"
The moment he saw Li Zhe, Ye Qingchen didn't hesitate for a second. He immediately grabbed Xiao Xiao and fled toward the outskirts of the Qingyun Mountain Range.
He was only a Third-Layer Martial Artist, while Li Zhe was an Eighth-Layer Martial Artist. Although he had killed Li Mingjun, Ye Qingchen was not arrogant enough to believe he could take on Li Zhe.
Ye Qingchen pulled Xiao Xiao by the hand and sprinted with all his might, with a bloodshot Li Zhe in furious pursuit behind him.
Xiao Xiao was only a Fifth-Layer Martial Apprentice and couldn't run fast, so the distance between them closed rapidly. Desperate, Ye Qingchen scooped her up into his arms and used Mystifying Steps to dash forward, which finally slowed the rate at which Li Zhe was gaining on them.
