"Eve, no! I will avenge you even if I get killed for it!"
To everyone's distress, the one shouting was none other than the Nascent Soul disciple. He was at the low phase of the stage, but still a powerful cultivator one major stage above them.
"Who did it? Come out!"
He released his nascent soul, sensing everything around him. The three remained silent and didn't dare leak a tiny bit of Qi. However, he'd eventually find them since they were trapped in the tunnel.
They exchanged looks, nodded in understanding, and looked toward the exit. Ken raised 3 fingers and started lowering them one by one, acting as a countdown.
'0!'
The three of them turned around and dashed to the exit at full speed. Upon exiting, they split up and ran in three different directions, doing their best to shake off the chaser.
"After them! I want them alive so I can kill them myself!"
