Chapter 1675: Linger
Ye Guan expressed his will to fight, and the Qingxuan Sword hummed with excitement in response.
The Boundless Master didn't say anything else. He fixed his eyes on the deep void ahead, silently lit a cigar, and puffs of smoke floated into the air.
Both of them were fully prepared for an all-out battle.
But just then, for some unknown reason, the three terrifying auras in the depths of the void suddenly receded like a tide.
Both the Boundless Master and Ye Guan were momentarily stunned at the sight. They looked at each other, confused.
Why had the enemy retreated so suddenly?
The Boundless Master glanced toward a hidden place in the darkness, frowning slightly, but soon withdrew his gaze. "We need to leave here as soon as possible. We must not interfere any further."
Ye Guan nodded. "Give me a moment."
After speaking, he turned and descended back to the earth. Not far away, the little girl was still lying on the ground, crying her heart out.
Ye Guan sighed softly. He picked up a cloth doll from a basket nearby. The doll wore the same clothes as the little girl, with similar hair and features—it was clearly handmade by her parents for her.
He paused for a moment, then walked over and gently pulled her up. Her eyes were already swollen from crying.
Ye Guan placed the doll into her arms and gently said, "Stop crying."
