With the speed of the ‘the movement of the tempest’ technique, Bai Chen was able to leave the city very quickly.
He was now a hundred metres away from the city, and that distance was soon to be a kilometre.
Bai Chen travelled along the path that he had seen in his memories. He carefully ran past the trees. It was a different path from when he went to the hundred-beast forest.
Bai Chen could have used his flying sword since he had gone out this far already. He did not use it because he did not want it to attract the sky soaring realm cultivators of the authorities.
Also, it could also attract the strongest person in the city like the governor, who was a legendary ream cultivator.
Due to that, Bai Chen chose to be careful.
“They’re here already?” Bai Chen’s facial expression changed when he sensed the change in the air up above, many metres away from him.
Even though he was only a secondary earth solid cultivator, his senses were very good. He knew right away if anyone came within his vicinity.
Bai Chen knew that the authorities would not let him go that easily. However, he did not think that it would be this fast. Also, the man who was following him was not an earth solid cultivator—he was a sky soaring realm cultivator!
It was an old man in fiery red. His feet were not on a flying sword, but thin air. It indicated that he was clearly a sky soaring realm cultivator!
Bai Chen stole just a small glance at him. He knew right away who he was.

He knew every sky soaring realm cultivator in Xin Ye city because of the memories he’d gotten from his future self. This old man was one of them. He was the head of the Blazing Flames sect, Hua Yien Guang!
“I didn’t expect that he would come.” Bai Chen’s facial expression was cold. He quickly ran past the tree in front of him.
He ran as fast as he could to flee. He did not want to confront a sky soaring realm cultivator.
Even if he used the eternal truth of time and the sacred sword in his hand, he still was not certain that he would be able to kill a sky soaring realm cultivator.
“You think you can run from me?” Hua Yien Guang’s sight was as sharp as an eagle’s. He caught sight of Bai Chen, who was running away, very easily.
He then used the flash footwork technique of the sky soaring realm. He vanished.
In the blink of an eye, he reappeared very close to Bai Chen.
“Kiddo, you’d better stop running and call the man behind you out right now,” Hua Yien Guang said softly, yet Bai Chen could hear it very clearly.
‘The man behind me?’ Bai Chen could not help but frown while he was still going as fast as he could. He did not think about stopping.
‘Maybe he thinks that someone’s backing me up. He must have thought that I alone should not have been able to kill eight earth solid cultivators.’
Bai Chen now understood what Hua Yien Guang was talking about.
“Aren’t you stopping yet?!?” Hua Yien Guang started to get annoyed. He continued with his flash footwork technique.
Then, he realised something that made his eyes narrow. He noticed that Bai Chen was very fast.
He was actually as fast as a tertiary earth solid cultivator!
‘This must be a high-grade technique. A little tertiary formation cultivator could not be this fast!’ Hua Yien Guang thought.
It was obvious that even a sky soaring realm cultivator could not see through Bai Chen’s concealment.
‘I must get it. This technique would be great for the sect.’ Hua Yien Guang was greedy. His eyes started to glow.
Without hesitation, he stopped using the flash footwork technique and used more than half of his own speed.
It was obvious right now that Hua Yien Guang was already overcome by greed. He did not care anymore if the man behind Bai Chen was to come out or not.
What he cared about right now was the speed technique that Bai Chen had.
Hua Yien Guang believed that the Blazing Flames sect would be much stronger if it obtained this technique.
“This is not good!” Bai Chen’s facial expression changed. His heart raced very fast.
If this continued, he knew that Hua Yien Guang would definitely catch up with him!

Bai Chen shouted this. He wanted to provoke Hua Yien Guang.
“You bastard. I didn’t expect you to know my exalted name.”
Hua Yien Guang came to a stop. His face showed surprise before he laughed out loud, making the air vibrate. He really did not expect that Bai Chen would know him.
“Exalted?” Bai Chen said coldly. “How exalted to be the child of a concubine.”
“You!” Hua Yien Guang’s facial expression changed immediately after hearing Bai Chen. He started to get angry. “How dare you!”
Crimson qi gushed out of Hua Yien Guang’s body. The air around him trembled until it twisted.
Judging from his expression, Hua Yien Guang was clearly furious.
What Bai Chen said was a taboo. No one could talk to him like that!
Hua Yien Gang was his father. He was one of the elders of the Blazing Flames sect. Yet, Hua Yien Guang was unfortunate in that he was an illegitimate child.
Every time he heard about this, it made him mad. He had been working hard until he’d reached the sky soaring level and become the head of the sect. His childhood had not been that easy either. He’d had to endure being called ‘a bastard’ all his life.
Actually, the cultivator world did not really care about this. Polygamy was very normal.
However, Hua Yien Guang did not like that at all!
