196: secretly

Early the next morning, two groups of people had clearly gathered at the entrance of the mansion.

One group was led by Wang Lin from the Emerald Bird Pavilion; besides him, there were many Elders from the Emerald Bird Pavilion.

Crimson had also brought along many of her own people; after all, they needed to ensure their safety while leaving the city.

Li Haotian sensed their arrival, gently pushed open the door, and walked out alone, a faint smile on his face as if he were completely unaware of the looming crisis.

"Chief Li, are you alone? You aren't bringing any attendants?"

Wang Lin was slightly surprised. Although this guy could barely repel a Quasi-Emperor, he shouldn't be this arrogant. After all, they were leaving the city, and there were unknown dangers outside, as well as powerful alien races.

To not bring any attendants to protect himself in such a situation—he didn't know whether to call him brave due to his skills or just blindly overconfident.

Li Haotian glanced at him; his expression gradually calmed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl into an eerie smile.

"It's fine, I'm enough on my own. You only need us to help you hold the line, right? Crimson has brought so many people, so I don't need to bring any attendants, do I?"

Wang Lin nodded and was about to speak when he heard Crimson's voice.

"I've told you already, don't call me Crimson. Just call me Little Red."

Wang Lin frowned upon hearing this, the killing intent in his heart surging like a raging flood, growing even stronger.

These two actually dared to flirt in front of him. He had originally intended to spare Crimson's life, as long as she was willing to remain loyal to him forever and become his sex slave.

Now, seeing the two of them acting affectionately, he only wanted to kill Li Haotian immediately.

He wanted to ravage Crimson right in front of Li Haotian. Wang Lin wanted them to watch as the other was tortured by him, slowly sinking into despair!

He buried this rage deep in his heart, tried his best to put on an amiable expression, and finally led the two of them out of the city at high speed.

He had already taken care of all the procedures for leaving the city, clearly having planned this for a long time.

No one knew that they had left. The three of them were supposed to be stationed in the city and could not leave at will. If something happened to them, the soldiers under their command would likely be left without a leader.

This would be detrimental to the city's safety.

However, everyone had been stationed here for so long that they all wanted to go out and take a look, and in fact, they had all secretly slipped out for a while at some point.

Therefore, the three of them doing this didn't count as violating any major rules.

After a day and night of forced marching, although they had to conceal their figures, relying on their strength and Cultivation, they could easily fly rapidly while hiding their tracks in the sky.

In just one day, they crossed tens of thousands of miles, arriving at an extremely distant region.

"I've found the location; it's right below."

Wang Lin examined the map in his hand carefully, as if it were his first time here.

Li Haotian curled his lip. This guy really couldn't keep his composure. Although he had been flying behind them, he kept sweeping his vicious gaze over Li Haotian and Crimson's backs.

These little actions had long been noticed by Li Haotian.

If the other party were truly completely unfamiliar with this place, he should have led them down many side paths.

After leaving the city, they had hardly taken any side paths, heading straight for this location at high speed—it was even more outrageous than precise positioning.

It was enough to show that the other party had long since intended to kill, and this place had likely been chosen a long time ago.

Li Haotian sighed helplessly. He had been guarding the Fissure for less than four months and had already made such a vicious enemy.

Because Crimson liked him, the other party had simply snapped, wanting to kill him over such a trivial matter.

The two major powers had established a feud so rashly.

Li Haotian was truly helpless; to think there was someone so dull-witted among the Ten Great Powers.

"The Qi in this valley is indeed much denser. Is that our target?"

Crimson looked at the alien army stationed in the valley, which was slowly packing their bags and preparing to retreat, and spoke softly.

Wang Lin nodded immediately, an eager expression on his face.

"I will go down now to hold off their Great Emperor Powerhouse. You all, attack the other Powerhouses below."

After Wang Lin finished speaking, he transformed into a stream of light and rushed downwards at high speed.

The people from the Emerald Bird Pavilion behind him did the same.

"To think this is the territory of the White Elephant Clan. This guy actually went specifically to join forces with my enemy?"

Li Haotian couldn't help but mutter to himself, a helpless expression on his face.

Crimson led her people and rushed down as well, and Li Haotian also transformed into a stream of light, following closely behind.

As soon as he landed, he felt auras from all directions instantly lock onto him.

The battle had already begun elsewhere. Li Haotian had secretly used the Great Emperor Realm Experience Card, and his own Cultivation soared.

Soon, a group of Sages surrounded him and attacked Li Haotian.

Li Haotian counterattacked casually, killing the Sages with a wave of his hand.

His gaze was fixed tightly on the people from the Emerald Bird Pavilion, and he soon discovered something unusual.

On the surface, the people from the Emerald Bird Pavilion were fighting very intensely, but in reality, they weren't using their full strength at all.

It was as if they were putting on a show; neither side was using their full power, seemingly waiting for an opportunity.

While fighting, they moved across the battlefield, and soon, people from the Emerald Bird Pavilion were spread all over the entire battlefield.

A cold smile appeared on Li Haotian's face. After expanding his Great Emperor-level perception, he instantly discovered seven figures hiding in the Void Realm—they were clearly seven alien Great Emperors.

All seven of them belonged to the White Elephant Clan.

The auras they emitted were neither particularly strong nor particularly weak, basically at the Middle Stage of the Great Emperor Realm. If Li Haotian wanted to, he could kill one with a single sword strike.

The Emerald Bird Pavilion Powerhouses began to approach the various Elders of the Chiyuan Sect while fighting.

Li Haotian sneered, releasing two eerie auras. Instantly, Wang Lin, who was fighting in the distance, sensed something.

The next moment, a powerful Sword Qi instantly struck him, shattering the precious armor on his back, and Wang Lin cried out in pain.

He had originally only intended to put on a show, and the Great Emperor Powerhouse in front of him was also cooperating with his actions to act out the scene.

But unexpectedly, after taking this hit solidly, he crashed directly into the opponent's great hammer, was smashed down fiercely by the hammer, and after crashing to the ground, he spat out blood, his eyes becoming somewhat unfocused.

Wang Lin struggled to take out a Medicinal Pill from his Storage Ring; the situation before him had already spiraled out of his control.
