The cultivation of this old man was not very high, only Third-Order Origin King, so his aptitude clearly wasn’t that good. He had already reached the end of his potential, and he couldn't progress again in his lifetime.

At this moment, with the building on the mountain peak collapsed, no other person could possibly appear but him.

The four Emperors could all sense that the aura from the mark was actually from this man’s body.

Feng Ming frowned and instantly realized what happened, cursing, “Just like a golden cicada shedding its skin, he escaped!”

Yang Kai also sighed, “We were careless. It seems like Gong Yue is now in good shape.”

The mark he left on Gong Yue’s body had been transferred to this elderly man, luring the four of them in the wrong direction. It was impossible for the mark to have transferred on its own though, so the only explanation was Gong Yue had done it intentionally.

And, for him to have done it without Yang Kai noticing, it was clear that Gong Yue was no longer in a muddled state. He had either restored his consciousness, or it was taken over by the Demon Spirit after it fused perfectly with his body, neither of which was what Yang Kai’s group hoped to see.

One by one, they put away their artifacts.

The elderly man standing in the ruins was scared out of his wits, and he cried out miserably to them, “This humble old man greets these Seniors. Please… Seniors, please…spare my life!”

He had no idea what Yang Kai and the others had come here to do, but he knew that they were not people he could resist, especially the one who made that strike earlier, the one who called himself the Orthodoxy Temple’s Elder Feng Ming.

This old man knew of Orthodoxy Temple as it was one of the top Sects of the Southern Territory. A small Sect like his didn’t even have the right to look upon them, but now one of Orthodoxy Temple’s Elders had come here personally and even attacked him. If Feng Ming had not dispersed his lethal move at the last moment, this old man would have vanished without even a trace of his bones remaining.

The old man could not understand what he had done to provoke Orthodoxy Temple, and to attract the attention of such a powerful Master. Fear and panic obstructed his ability to think and he could only open his mouth to beg for mercy.

“Do not panic, old man.” Yang Kai smiled at the elderly man while using his Divine Sense to apply a kind of calming wave to settle his emotions, “We are not here to make things difficult for you, merely to track down a criminal. We did not expect such a misunderstanding to arise.”

“A criminal…” The old man was much more stable after receiving this pacification and was also no longer in a panic like he was earlier.

“Yes.” Yang Kai looked solemn. Tapping the tips of his fingers in front of him and circulating his Emperor Qi at the same time, an image appeared in front of him, naturally of Gong Yue’s face, “This is the man we’re looking for. Have you seen this person recently?”
