Xigui dragged Lv Xinrong, swiftly fleeing.
After running for quite a distance, Lv Xinrong finally began to regain her senses slightly.
Watching the scenery around her retreat rapidly, Lv Xinrong’s face looked somewhat grim.
"Uncle Xigui..."
She softly called out, but Xigui paid no attention to her.
The only thing on his mind was escaping with his life.
Xigui knew far more about You Wanying’s Poisonous Mist Incarnation’s strength than others.
Even if Xigui exerted all his power, trying to match this Poisonous Mist Incarnation was challenging.
Yet, Shen Han directly annihilated You Wanying’s Poisonous Mist Incarnation.
That was an incarnation of an Illusion Realm expert.
Even though the incarnation was at the Rainbow-Devouring Realm 7th Layer, it was controlled by an Illusion Realm expert like You Wanying.
The incarnation carries the experience and philosophy of an Illusion Realm expert.
Logically, capturing Shen Han alive was expected.
But this Poisonous Mist Incarnation was just eliminated.
The two of them didn’t rest for a moment, pressing on for several two-hours.
When they finally stopped, even Xigui, at the Rainbow-Devouring Realm 7th Layer, couldn’t help but pant heavily.
These few two-hours of rushing, he was practically exerting his full strength as if facing an enemy.
Lv Xinrong quickly took out a Pill, and Xigui didn’t hesitate, directly swallowing it.
After resting for less than a quarter of an hour, Xigui urged Lv Xinrong to set off again.
They could slow down but could not stop.
"Uncle Xigui..."
Seeing Lv Xinrong hesitant to speak, Uncle Xigui glanced at her.
"Do you feel that fleeing like this is somewhat humiliating, too revealing of cowardice?"
Xigui spoke softly, but his gaze was fixed ahead.
Lv Xinrong didn’t say, but Xigui understood that was what she meant.
"If we escaped a bit later today, both your life and mine would be lost at Heqiu Mountain.
Your earlier assessments and predictions about Shen Han were entirely erroneous.
That Shen Han, has at least the strength of the Rainbow-Devouring Realm 7th Layer.
Moreover, he seems to have many means, unfathomable means!"
As Xigui spoke, a hint of fear still lingered on his face.
They were so close, so close to him facing Shen Han instead...
If it had been him who went, it would have been his body annihilated, not that Poisonous Mist Incarnation.
Ban Wu’s death had a brief memorial set up at the Nine Heavens Palace.
As the Guard Captain of the Nine Heavens Palace, Xigui naturally went to see Ban Wu’s corpse.
That withered and decayed appearance made Xigui somewhat terrified.
If he had acted, he feared he too would have died such a withered death.
"Uncle Xigui, does that mean I can’t avenge these grudges..."
Lv Xinrong, lost in thought, was still bringing up revenge at this moment.
Xigui, hearing this, could only look at her speechlessly.
"Twice encountering Shen Han and still keeping your life, it’s already a great fortune.
Revenge is not something you, or I, at our level, should consider.
To take on Shen Han, at least a Rainbow-Devouring Realm Peak is required.
The key is, we cannot fathom his full strength or what else he is capable of.
The Poisonous Mist Incarnation shouldn’t have been defeated so easily.
Yet it was..."
Xigui didn’t wish to say more, leading Lv Xinrong swiftly flying toward the Nine Heavens Palace.
Heqiu Mountain.
The disciples of various sects who were watching scattered like birds and beasts.
Each was terribly frightened, fearing that Shen Han would retaliate against them.
Many sects had actually reached agreements with Tiger Peak Manor to help track Shen Han’s whereabouts.
