POP!
In the distance, the Restriction on the Traveling Palace shattered.
Xiao Chen moved swiftly, the entire exchange taking less than three breaths of time.
The four Huo Family Cultivators over there were so busy trying to open the Traveling Palace that they didn't even have time to interfere.
Only when they heard the red-clothed female cultivator's blood-curdling scream did they realize something drastic had happened on the other side.
They exchanged glances and, shockingly, chose to turn and flee.
Although this meant abandoning the Blue-clothed Cultivator to a perilous fate, none of them could afford to care at a time like this.
As the saying goes: better you die than me.
"Huo, save me!"
The Blue-clothed Cultivator realized this as well and immediately exposed their connection. "The only reason I set this ambush was because I was following your orders."
He wasn't an idiot. Dragging the Huo Family down with him was his only chance for survival.
