"Lu Ren, are you alright?" Tuoba Wuqing asked with a frown.

"I'm fine. We can't let this Old Drunkard get away!" Lu Ren shook his head, his eyes fixed intently on the Old Drunkard.

He had spent days setting up this formation using nine Heavenly Serpent Annihilation Talismans, placing them so discreetly that even a Martial Artist in the Heavenly Gang Realm wouldn't notice, let alone one in the Martial Profound Realm. Yet, Lu Ren had managed to retreat before the formation erupted. It was unbelievable.

"Old Drunkard, are you trying to kill me for the Bodhi Seed? It's not on me!" Lu Ren said coldly. "You couldn't kill Wan Kun, so now you're targeting me?"
