Chapter 31: Played

The Chen Family quickly disappeared into the chaos below, leaving the City Lord Mansion behind as they made their way toward the eastern side of the city.

High above them, however, another battle was already underway.

Zhao Lianyu's figure moved through the sky, her white robe fluttering violently as she swung her sword toward the two figures chasing after her.

Clang!

The sound of metal striking flesh echoed across the sky like a thunderclap.

Zhao Mingyuan's body twisted unnaturally in midair, his arms bending beneath him as if he were crawling across an invisible surface.

His hands reached forward, his legs folded, and he moved through the air in a way that no human cultivator should have been able to.

Sun Qian was no different. He moved beside Zhao Mingyuan on all fours, his fingers clawing at the empty air with every motion.

His head remained tilted at an unnatural angle, and his eyes never left Zhao Lianyu's figure.
