Chapter 245: Making a Run for It
In an instant, something like rolling thunder seemed to flash through the Falling God Peak grandmaster's eyes, and then thunder suddenly cracked and boomed across the sky above Falling God Peak.
Within the cloud layer behind him, dense electric serpents began streaking in every direction, as though the entire main peak's sky was about to become a pool of lightning.

The simply dressed elderly man in the clouds suddenly turned his head and looked toward a particular spot in the empty air below.
In the next instant, the jade-green woman from before appeared gradually in his line of sight as though materializing out of thin air.
She had a full head of cyan-black hair and skin like white jade, with threads of cold, detached stillness between her brows and eyes. She reached up to adjust a small bundle on her back, then said with a furrowed brow, "Martial Nephew Scarlet Fire should already be dead."

The jade-green woman also glanced at the elderly man before her, her gaze cold, something like a layer of ice floating in her eyes. She said calmly, "Falling God Peak is nearly finished. I need to run first."
At those words, the elderly man froze for a moment, then his eyelid twitched and he said instinctively, "How can you do this?"
