Although on the Fog Boat, everyone else was lying on the deck, their fate unknown, it would have been impossible for Liu Ming, a Daoist practitioner in the prime of his life, to fail to notice them.
Yet, Uncle Master Zhang ignored him completely and, like a gust of wind, escaped with only Senior Sister Qian.
This sent a chill through his heart, and he had no choice but to resort to a self-rescue technique.
As Liu Ming thought this, he suddenly collapsed onto the deck with a "gulp".
At the same time, his breathing and the blood flow within his body all became faint and almost imperceptible.
This was the effect of the breath-concealing technique he had employed.
With a "boom",
the enormous orb of light in the sky finally burst open after its terrifying presence surged once more, unleashing a wave of hot Air in all directions.
