While the outside world debated whether Ye Qiu was dead or alive, the evil-minded mysterious figure, along with a shivering Bai Xiong and Ye Qiu, left Italy.
On the way, Ye Qiu came to understand why the mysterious figure had not shown any intent to kill him; it turned out it was because of the black gas.
Actually, the mysterious figure had been lurking in the shadows all along, but Ye Qiu had never noticed.
When he was fighting with Adam, the mysterious figure was standing at the crater's edge, watching how Ye Qiu took down a Half-Step Legendary realm fighter.
The mysterious figure was actually there to kill Ye Qiu. He had pursued him all the way from China to Italy, finding him first at the martial arts tournament, only to be disappointed when he arrived at the top of Mount Hua to find the event had already ended. Later, he chased him to Myanmar but ended up empty-handed again.
