Inside the Unstable Rift, within the Dimension Plane, Li Qian and Chu Xiran rode on Qizai's back, fleeing for their lives in a desperate race against time.
They were moving at top speed, yet the Demon Dragon Rhinoceros pursuing them was still steadily closing the distance.
Seeing this, Li Qian knew escape was hopeless. He made a grim joke, saying, "If I'd known it would turn out like this, I'm not so sure I would've come!"
'When I volunteered for this, I honestly thought that with my strength and wits, I'd be able to escape unscathed even if I couldn't complete the mission.'
'And things had been going just as I'd predicted. I really did have a good chance of getting away, but the best-laid plans often go awry.'
'Who would have thought there'd be a shit-stirrer here—that member of the Mechanical Desecration Association hiding in the shadows? At the critical moment, he launched a sneak attack that forced me to reveal my position.'
