He didn't have time to waste with Xiao Chen, he didn't know when the experts of the Sword Sect would arrive. If he was surrounded by the experts of the Sword Sect, it would be even harder to escape.
So, Xie Tian made his decision and used the black token, the only life saving treasure those old fellows from the Dark Era had given him.
As soon as his voice fell, the black token was directly crushed by Xie Tian. At the same time, a black light fell from the sky and covered Xie Tian's body. Seeing this, Xiao Chen naturally wasn't willing to let Xie Tian leave like this, so he immediately made his move.
However, facing Xiao Chen's attack, the black light wasn't affected at all, it didn't even create a single ripple.
It seemed like it was like those old fellows from the Dark Era said. Unless the World Master personally made a move, no one could break this black token. Xie Tian's heart calmed down and he looked at Xiao Chen with a dark expression as he spoke in a cold voice.
"Xiao Chen, don't be happy too early. The fight between the two of us has only just begun."
Running away this time, Xie Tian was also considering the big picture. It didn't mean that Xie Tian didn't have the strength to fight Xiao Chen, for Xie Tian, what he really needed to do right now was to close up those thousand people.
As soon as his voice fell, the black light slowly dissipated and Xie Tian's figure disappeared along with it.
Looking at Xie Tian with killing intent, in the end, when Xie Tian's figure completely disappeared on the spot, Xiao Chen couldn't feel any aura at all.
Xie Tian's method indeed made Xiao Chen unable to do anything. Their auras had completely disappeared and Xiao Chen couldn't stop it at all.
Watching Xie Tian escape in front of him again, Xiao Chen was indeed a bit angry, but he couldn't do anything. Thinking about it, it was clear that this was a life saving method those old fellows from the Dark Era gave Xie Tian.
Xiao Chen naturally didn't have much confidence against those old guys from the Dark Age. After all, even Lin Yun's tone was filled with fear when she talked about the Dark Age.
He had missed the best chance to kill Xie Tian. Although Xiao Chen didn't know what other tricks Xie Tian had, Xiao Chen was certain that Xie Tian wasn't as simple as he seemed on the surface. In the dark, Xie Tian must have made some preparations, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to compete with him.
With just Xie Tian alone, even if he was a genuine Ancestor Realm Expert, wanting to fight the entire Sword Sect by himself was an impossible and unrealistic matter.
A cold glint flickered in his eyes. At the same time, Nangong Guan, Long Qing, and the others also arrived. Their speed was naturally slower than Xiao Chen's, so they were a bit slower.
When everyone arrived, they found that Xie Tian's figure had already disappeared. There was no need to ask, Xie Tian must have run away.
Xiao Chen didn't hide this and said with a helpless smile, "He has a life saving treasure on him."
Xie Tian indeed relied on the black token to escape. Otherwise, with Xie Tian's strength, even if he wanted to leave, he wouldn't be able to do it so easily. Xiao Chen would definitely make him pay a price.
At that time, even if Xie Tian could escape, he would definitely be injured. Only, with the life saving treasure those old fellows from the Dark Era gave him, Xiao Chen really wouldn't be able to do anything to him for now.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Long Qing comforted him, "A stray dog, he can't jump around for long."
Long Qing's words were clearly meant to comfort Xiao Chen, but Xiao Chen shook his head and said with a faint smile, "The longer it drags on, the more dangerous it is. Xie Tian definitely has other preparations, I always felt that he took the initiative to appear this time to stall for time."
He had always been hiding in the dark, but Xie Tian had suddenly appeared this time with such great fanfare. Xiao Chen had already suspected that this fellow wanted to stall for time.
Otherwise, with Xie Tian's personality and intelligence, it was impossible for him to not know that he couldn't fight the Sword Sect with just his strength. It was also impossible for him to recklessly expose himself like this.
So, Xiao Chen always suspected that Xie Tian had deliberately exposed himself. As for the reason, Xiao Chen didn't know for now.
But no matter what the reason was, the longer it dragged on, the greater the threat Xie Tian posed. Not only Xiao Chen, even Long Qing and the others were clear on this point.
But there was no other way. If they let Xie Tian escape this time, it wouldn't be easy to find him again. Moreover, the most important problem was that the things Xie Tian had prepared behind the scenes, Xiao Chen didn't have any information on when they would succeed.
As soon as his voice fell, he saw everyone's faces turn serious. Xiao Chen said with a smile, "Alright, we'll deal with it as it comes. Let's go back first."
They didn't stop searching for Xie Tian. As long as Xie Tian didn't die, Xiao Chen and the Sword Sect wouldn't be at ease. But without any clues, Xiao Chen didn't know where to start, so he could only return to the Sword Sect first. Of course, the most important thing was to discuss with Xuanyuan Ling.
Nangong Guan, Wu Huan, Lin Qing, and the others were still searching for Xie Tian. Xiao Chen and Long Qing returned to the Sword Sect with Cang Xing and Zhou Song. The two of them were heavily injured and had almost died at Xie Tian's hands. They didn't have any battle strength for now, so Xiao Chen brought them back to the Sword Sect to rest.
Once they returned to the Sword Sect, Xiao Chen immediately went to find Xuanyuan Ling. Since the matter with Xie Tian, Xuanyuan Ling had been in charge of the Sword Sect, taking care of all the small and large matters.
With all these trivial matters, Xuanyuan Ling was indeed very tired. Hearing that Xie Tian had successfully escaped, Xuanyuan Ling didn't have any time to rest at all.
After hearing Xiao Chen's story, Xuanyuan Ling slightly knit his brows and said, "I also feel that Xie Tian definitely has some tricks he hasn't used yet and it should be related to those missing people."
Xuanyuan Ling and Xiao Chen had the same thoughts, suspecting that Xie Tian still had some tricks up his sleeve. Xuanyuan Ling's thoughts were even further, already suspecting that it was related to those missing martial artists.
After all, these people had disappeared at the same time. Although there was no evidence that these people's disappearance was related to Xie Tian, whether it was Xuanyuan Ling or Xiao Chen, they were certain that it was related to Xie Tian.
Xie Tian's strange actions this time, according to the two of them, were to stall for time. Then there was an 80% chance that it was related to those missing martial artists.
Hearing Xuanyuan Ling's words, Xiao Chen silently nodded. Then he helplessly said, "Do you think that Xie Tian is increasing the strength of these people to fight the Sword Sect?"
