His figure flickered, and he instantly gave chase.
His speed was extremely fast, like a bolt of lightning, and he caught up to Yunmiao Immortal Venerable in an instant.
Chen Ping executed the Fire Control Step, catching up to Yunmiao Immortal Venerable in just two steps.
The Fire Control Step could boost his speed in an instant, so how could Yunmiao Immortal Venerable possibly escape.
Then, he picked up Yunmiao Immortal Venerable like a chick and dragged him back.
His movements were relaxed and casual, as if Yunmiao Immortal Venerable had no ability to resist in his hands.
“Ah!”
“This… how is this possible?”
The demon race cultivators who witnessed this turned pale as death.
They knew that even Yunmiao Immortal Venerable was no match for this young man, so they were doomed to die today without doubt.
Their hearts filled with despair, as if they could already see death descending.
Chen Ping threw Yunmiao Immortal Venerable to the ground and said coldly, “Speak! Why did you run?”
His eyes revealed a stern authority, as if he were judging a criminal.
Yunmiao Immortal Venerable trembled as he said, “I… I know you.”
His voice carried a hint of fear, and his body involuntarily curled up.
Chen Ping said puzzledly, “You know me?”
A trace of curiosity appeared in his eyes, as he wanted to know why Yunmiao Immortal Venerable recognised him.
Yunmiao Immortal Venerable nodded, “Yes. When I was at the Divine Hall, I heard the Sixth Hall Master mention you. He said you are an extremely dangerous figure and told us to be very careful around you.”
His voice held a trace of awe, as if Chen Ping were an existence that made him tremble in fear.
Chen Ping suddenly understood, “So you are from the Divine Hall!”
A sharp glint appeared in his eyes, as if he had already seen through the power behind Yunmiao Immortal Venerable.
Yunmiao Immortal Venerable hurriedly said, “Yes! I am a subordinate of the Sixth Hall Master of the Divine Hall! I was ordered to come here to refine spirit stones into immortal stones, then hand them over to the Sixth Hall Master!”
His voice carried a hint of helplessness, as if all of this was done under duress.
Chen Ping said coldly, “How would the Sixth Hall Master know the method to refine spirit stones into immortal stones?”
A trace of suspicion appeared in his eyes, as he wanted to know what secrets the Divine Hall was hiding behind this.
Yunmiao Immortal Venerable was just about to speak when, at that moment, dark clouds suddenly gathered in the distant sky, and a more powerful, more evil aura came sweeping in.
That evil aura was like an ancient ferocious beast, carrying a momentum that could destroy heaven and earth as it surged forward, enveloping the entire Yuande Realm in the blink of an eye.
The previously stagnant air seemed gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand, making even breathing extremely difficult.
The demon race cultivators who had been struggling bitterly in the abyss of despair suddenly saw a brilliant dawn in the darkness, and they all lifted their heads, their gazes uniformly turning towards the sky.
In their eyes, the light of wild joy burned like flames, instantly dispelling the previous fear and despair.
“It… it’s a higher rank Immortal Venerable who has arrived!” a demon race cultivator said with a trembling voice, filled with irrepressible excitement, his tone as if he had seen the arrival of a saviour.
“We’re saved now! This lord’s aura is far stronger than Yunmiao Immortal Venerable’s!” another demon race cultivator chimed in, his face beaming with the joy of surviving a disaster.
“It must be the powerhouse behind Yunmiao Immortal Venerable! Only such a powerhouse could have such a terrifying presence!” yet another demon race cultivator said with certainty, his eyes full of reverence and anticipation.
On the other side, the faces of Li Qingshan and the others instantly turned as white as paper, as if covered by a thick layer of frost.
They each clenched their fists tightly, their knuckles turning white from the force, and their bodies involuntarily began to tremble slightly, like leaves in a gale.
They could clearly sense that the aura sweeping towards them contained endless malice and a chilling pressure that made one’s heart quake.
