He left the disciples of Tianquan Peak behind, but Ye Qing did not pursue them.
It was not that he lacked the desire to give chase; rather, Huangfu Yuzhi was still in the process of refining the essence blood of the Golden-Winged Great Roc. Ye Qing had to ensure her safety and could not simply abandon her to hunt them down. Refining the essence blood of such a creature was a delicate process; after all, the energy contained within it was immense. The fact that Huangfu Yuzhi had been able to absorb it steadily without her body rupturing was already quite an achievement. It was worth noting that her cultivation base had not yet reached the Creation Realm. That she could endure this was largely due to the high degree of compatibility between her own bloodline and that of the Golden-Winged Great Roc.
After the fierce battle, the forest was a scene of devastation. In many places, the ground had been leveled by Ye Qing’s Shura Blood Sword, and the bodies of the fallen Tianquan Peak disciples lay scattered about. Two female disciples from Tianquan Peak remained on the scene, their faces drained of color and trembling with fear. They had never imagined that Ye Qing would be so formidable. They had wanted to flee, but their legs had turned to jelly from pure terror, leaving them frozen in place.
