Ye Chen was silently meditating.
But suddenly, a violent surge of energy rippled through the air, snapping him out of his meditation. His instincts kicked in immediately, and he withdrew his aura, cloaking himself in the shadows of the dense forest.
Someone powerful was approaching.
In the distance, a figure descended through the mist, crackling with demonic energy. Long Tianyun landed in the clearing like a storm, his presence overwhelming, his face twisted with fury.
"Ye Chen!" Long Tianyun's voice boomed across the forest, shaking the ground beneath him. "Come out, you coward! I know you're here!"
Ye Chen's eyes narrowed as he hid behind a large tree, carefully suppressing his presence. His heart pounded in his chest, his mind racing. Who is this? How did they find me? He had been careful, avoiding detection while cultivating in the depths of Blackmist Forest. The fact that someone had found him so quickly sent alarm bells ringing in his head.
