When the physical body of the old man Luan exploded, a shimmering, crimson Nascent Soul with a look of terror on its face shot toward the entrance of the cave dwelling. Simultaneously, three faint, barely visible glimmers of light split in different directions, fleeing with the speed of thunder.
Chen Xuan immediately unleashed his Xuanyuan Sword Qi. The sword light branched out to intercept the Nascent Soul and the three glimmers of light. In an instant, the Nascent Soul was sliced in two, and two of the three glimmers were intercepted by the sword energy. The third, however, passed through the layers of prohibitions guarding the cave dwelling without the slightest obstruction. The sword energy struck the barriers, triggering a series of energy explosions, but failed to extinguish that final glimmer.
Watching this, Chen Xuan frowned. He pursued, but discovered that the third glimmer had vanished into the black night without a trace; even with his divine sense fully expanded, he could detect nothing.
