Long Kuiba could only helplessly shrug at Cheng Haonan. However, before he could say anything, a sharp and terrifying howl suddenly erupted from beside him. Cheng Haonan's body suddenly emitted a thick layer of black aura. His state was the same as when he was fighting against Lin Yi. Taking advantage of the fact that no one had any intention of surrounding him, he broke into a run without saying anything. "Bang!"
Cheng Haonan wasn't an idiot. He knew that there was no turning back now that the situation had developed to this point. He definitely wouldn't be able to fool everyone today. Once his identity as a Evil Cultivator was confirmed, he would definitely be surrounded by everyone.
Let alone the fact that Cheng Haonan was currently exhausted, even if he was at his peak condition, facing the pursuit of so many Nascent Soul Stage experts, he would definitely die without a grave. There wouldn't even be a chance of survival.
As a result, his only path of survival was to escape before everyone's killing intent fully manifested. As long as a top-tier expert like Boundless Sea didn't chase after him, he still had a sliver of a chance at survival.
Seeing Cheng Haonan rush out of the crowd and instantly escape from Magic Cold Plaza, disappearing from everyone's sight, Long Kuiba was dumbfounded. Everyone present was dumbfounded as well. They were stunned for a moment before they realized what had happened. F * ck, he was fleeing to avoid punishment!
Seeing this, a few cultivators in the periphery hurriedly chased after him. However, most of the people present were indifferent towards this. After all, Cheng Haonan's strength was there for all to see. Don't look at how exhausted he was. From the astonishing speed at which he escaped, it could be seen that this guy still had room to struggle on his deathbed.
With the strength of most of the people present, let alone the fact that they couldn't catch up to Cheng Haonan's speed, even if they caught up, they definitely wouldn't be able to beat him. In his normal state, Cheng Haonan could easily beat the crap out of them, let alone the crazy Cheng Haonan who had turned completely black.
It was true that the Evil Cultivator had to be killed, but no one was stupid. They wouldn't throw away their lives just to chase after a Evil Cultivator. Didn't they see that even a top-tier expert like Boundless Sea had no intention of attacking?
With Boundless Sea's strength, of course he could beat Cheng Haonan. However, right now was the crucial time to consolidate the fruits of victory. How could he chase after him? What if Zhao Bufan and the others took advantage of them? When he returned, it would be too late …
If Boundless Sea didn't chase, Zhao Bufan and the others wouldn't chase either. Boundless Sea was worried about them, but they were also worried about Boundless Sea.
Out of all the people present, the only one who could pose a fatal threat to Cheng Haonan and have the heart to go after him was probably Lin Yi. However, Lin Yi frowned, suppressing the thought in the end.
There was no other way. If he chased after Cheng Haonan, no matter if he caught up or not, Boundless Sea would hit him while he was down. He would seize the opportunity to say that he was also an evil cultivator and ran away with Cheng Haonan!
In the past, no one would have believed this kind of bullshit. But now that Cheng Haonan had confessed without being pressed, if Lin Yi couldn't clear his name, it would be the same as having yellow mud falling in his pants. Even if it wasn't shit, it would still be shit.
Lin Yi didn't really care. With his background, as long as he spent a bit of time, it wouldn't be hard to clear his name. However, this would definitely implicate the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency. Regardless of whether or not they could recover their reputation, their hard-earned position as the head of the escort agency would be gone.
Perhaps Boundless Sea had purposely tied the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency and the Dragon Boat Escort Agency together for this purpose. Lin Yi naturally wouldn't let him succeed.
Even though he had made the decision to bide his time. However, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a bit regretful. Even he wasn't completely confident in dealing with an expert evil cultivator like Cheng Haonan. This time, not only was his opponent exhausted, he was also injured. This was the perfect opportunity to kill him, but he could only let it go. It was a bit of a pity …
At this moment, everyone's gazes fell on Long Kuiba. Cheng Haonan's sudden escape had pushed him, the head escort of the Dragon Boat Escort Agency, into the heart of the struggle. This situation was like Boundless Sea had set up a pot of oil, but Cheng Haonan had casually pushed him down.
Helpless, wanting to cry, but no tears came out. This was Long Kuiba's current situation.
It was rare for him to ascend to the throne of the number two escort agency, but he hadn't even had the time to sit down properly. He hadn't even had the time to be happy when this throne was swapped with a tiger stool, and he had to sit down on it. Long Kuiba's current mood was so bad that he couldn't even cry …
Under everyone's gazes, Long Kuiba sat down on the ground as if he had lost his parents. At this moment, no matter what he said, it was pointless. He couldn't run away like Cheng Haonan. After all, he had the entire Dragon Boat Escort Agency behind him. This was the foundation he had painstakingly built up. He couldn't just give it up, so he could only wait for Boundless Sea's verdict.
"Now everyone is very clear that Cheng Haonan is an evil cultivator. There's no doubt about this. The Dragon Boat Escort Agency actually let an evil cultivator participate in the competition. Where does that leave our Southern Continent Escort Agency Alliance? Could it be that our Southern Continent Escort Agency Alliance has fallen to this level? Have we fallen to the same level as evil cultivators? " Boundless Sea suddenly occupied the moral high ground. In a daze, he seemed to have returned to being the high-spirited tyrant of the escort agency.
In the chaotic waters of the Southern Continent, morality was worthless. However, in some special situations, it could be used to kidnap everyone and become a sharp weapon that no one could resist. Boundless Sea clearly understood this well.
At this moment, even Zhao Bufan and the others couldn't interrupt. If they followed Boundless Sea's words, they would become his followers. However, if they went against Boundless Sea, they would be openly covering up for an evil cultivator. They couldn't bear such a big label, so they could only turn a blind eye to it.
Among the judges, only Qi Mingyuan continued to frown at Boundless Sea coldly. However, he didn't rashly say anything. After all, they were talking about the Dragon Boat Escort Agency. There was no need for him to take the initiative. It wouldn't be too late to counterattack when the other side made trouble.
Facing the righteous Boundless Sea, Long Kuiba couldn't say anything. Right now, he only regretted one thing. It wasn't allying with the Poison Eye Mercenaries, nor letting Wu Bao Liang and Cheng Haonan participate, but going to the Four Seas Escort Agency to visit Boundless Sea that night!
If he hadn't taken the initiative to give Boundless Sea a handle, even if he didn't have the chance to deal with the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency and Ling Yi, even if he couldn't get into the top five, he could at least retreat unscathed. It was much better than being trampled on like this. Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in this world …
