Chapter 1456: A Horse Off the Reins (II)
The newcomer looked warily in Li Hao’s direction, a reaction echoed by the young man. The latter quietly took stock of the situation.
As an exalted emperor of life and death, it was easy for Li Hao to size up a target’s life force. He breathed a slight sigh of relief after extending his senses. They hadn’t run across someone too strong. This person was roughly the same level as the chaos beast that Panther had taken possession of.
It wasn’t the weakest kind of exalted emperor, but neither was the newcomer overly strong. This was good! They just... needed to be more careful.
The person in the distance had wanted to circle around whoever he’d stumbled upon, but seemingly changed his mind upon determining how strong the others were. A second rank chaos beast and a first rank exalted emperor... were manageable.
Taking the long way around might result in a very extended journey and more dangers if he set the wrong course.
“Fellow daoists up ahead, I am a wanderer in the chaos. My name is Zu An and I am headed toward Skyward major world. Are the two daoists also headed in the same direction?” The person called out from a distance, his voice reverberating through the chaos instead of drawing nearer.
“Where might Skyward be?” Li Hao responded after a look. “I am Li Hao, the master of Hao Moon world. Hao Moon is a newly born world and as such, we do not know much about the chaos. There was a great disturbance to the rear a few days ago. This chaos beast and I are preparing to take shelter!”
A newbie? A master of a minor world?
Zu An blinked. How would the master of a minor world run around with a chaos beast? It was strange no matter how he looked at it!
He took another glance at the chaos beast, puzzled by the duo. A master of a minor world typically never left their world, not unless their world was swallowed by another!
The situation was more complicated than he anticipated. He didn’t ask further; it was sufficient to know that they weren’t a major world heavyweight. Under normal conditions, those from major worlds wouldn’t deign to pose as someone else.
Not unless they were the infamous crew from New Martial. Those weren’t worth mention!
