Chapter 1141: Unbound Thought
Such a major incident naturally alarmed Xiang Guangying, the leader of this place. She was no fool, knowing that those capable of trading blows evenly with Grand Leader Wu were most likely Pseudo-Immortals.
With two Pseudo-Immortals fighting, a mere Heavenly Being like her would only be rushing to her death if she rushed over now. What mattered now was finding Young Master Li and ensuring his safety. If anything happened to him, she might as well be dead.
Thus, Xiang Guangying quietly slipped off Dragon Scale Island and headed to another island where a concealed refuge had been built. It was protected by formations and difficult to detect. If Young Master Li had also fled, this was most likely where he would hide in such chaos.
Just as Xiang Guangying came close to the hideout, she suddenly froze in place.
Someone had ambushed her from behind, and she had been careless, too slow to evade.
Xiang Guangying slowly lowered her head and saw a small hand piercing straight through her chest from behind.
Since the attacker’s arm was too short, its owner was practically clinging to Xiang Guangying’s back, like an oversized spider.
She had sensed nothing at all, not until the ambush had already succeeded. Her heart had been shattered. Even for a Heavenly Being, this was a crippling wound.
Xiang Guangying struggled to speak. “Who’s...there...?”
“Me!” The reply was simple and direct.
The arm withdrew immediately after.
Xiang Guangying staggered forward, attempting to flee, but someone seized her ankle and yanked her back. She pitched forward and slammed face-first into the ground.
