Dark Yi had been observing Ye Chen’s every move for some time. He had long since developed the intent to kill him. During Ye Chen’s last battle against the Grandmaster Tianyuan, the strength Ye Chen displayed was the most terrifying Dark Yi had ever seen from any practitioner of the Primordial Body. He had no idea just how much potential Ye Chen’s actual combat ability held.
However, Dark Yi did not move to confront Ye Chen immediately. He knew in his heart that he was no match for him; after all, this was the realm of cultivation, and his own strength had been significantly diminished here. If he were in the Demon Realm, he might have been able to fight Ye Chen to the death and see who was superior.
Through his reconnaissance during this period, he had learned that Ye Chen and his companions needed to help Grandmaster Tianling recover his final soul fragment. He guessed this might be his opportunity. With that, he leaped into the air and vanished from where he stood. He did not leave the Soul Cultivation Secret Realm but instead began to explore it, searching for that final fragment.
