After hearing Li Feng's words, the cloaked figure remained silent for a moment, seemingly pondering something.
He looked at the white-cloaked figures fighting his assassins below before slowly turning his gaze back toward Li Feng.
But there was no fear in his eyes.
Instead, a faint smile appeared beneath his hood.
"Escape?"
He let out a quiet laugh, as if Li Feng had just told him the funniest joke he had ever heard.
"Hah... Why would I need to escape?"
The darkness around his body began to surge once again, twisting violently around him.
"I was thinking that it was quite overboard for His Highness to send me for this..."
His voice carried a hint of amusement.
"After all, I was told that you were only a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator."
He slowly raised his hand, and the darkness around him gathered once more.
"But now..."
His smile widened slightly.
"I suppose I understand why the prince was so cautious."
Li Feng's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Prince?"
