What Qi Tian regretted was being unable to spot Cheng Cai. He wasn't sure whether Cheng Cai spotted the wrong footing early and ran away, or whether the two pillars of fire that suddenly sprang out from the battlefield killed him.
Now, the entire basin was in utter chaos, definitely the perfect opportunity for an opportunistic escape. When Qi Tian realized he couldn't find Cheng Cai, his immediate thought was to take advantage of the turmoil and leave this place. Usually, the basin was well ordered, and he was a bit worried that Ape King Sun Xiaotian could easily single him out. He did not dare to leave the basin on his own but now the place was in a shambles and everywhere there were Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators. Ape King Sun Xiaotian would no longer be fixated solely on him.
With this idea, Qi Tian looked around, selected the direction closest to the edge of the basin, applied a Soaring Cloud Talisman on himself, and flew in that direction.
