As Ye Qingchen had anticipated, the vines binding Elder Yang held for less than ten seconds before he broke through them. However, with his Mystifying Steps, Ye Qingchen had already run several miles away in that brief time.
Elder Yang snorted coldly. He was annoyed at himself for his momentary carelessness in falling for Ye Qingchen's trick. However, with his years of experience, he was confident he could capture Ye Qingchen no matter how far he ran.
As Ye Qingchen fled, he used his Dual Pupil Martial Soul to keep track of his pursuer. To his alarm, he saw that Elder Yang was getting closer and closer, and his heart pounded with urgency.
He knew that if he simply kept running, he would eventually be caught. Since he had no chance of winning a direct fight, his only option was to find a place to hide, increase his strength, and find a slim chance of survival. With this in mind, Ye Qingchen used his Dual Pupil Martial Soul to search the surroundings for a suitable hiding place.
