Their eyes met for a moment, and Chen Yi decided against using his Qi Observation Skill to probe the newcomer's aura.
It wasn't because he could read the man's aura, but because he couldn't see it at all.
This reminded him of his previous attempt to probe Immortal Bai.
'For some reason, I'm certain this swordsman in the sky is as strong as Immortal Bai.'
Xiao Wan'er noticed his expression. She glanced up, but saw nothing. "What's wrong?" she asked.
Chen Yi shook his head. "It's nothing. Let's go."
'If someone that powerful were my enemy, I wouldn't be able to escape even if I wanted to.'
So he simply pulled Xiao Wan'er close and shot off toward the distant Shu State Prefecture City.
But he had only flown about a third of a mile when a clear, somewhat cold voice sounded in his ear:
"On the fifteenth of the tenth month, I will duel Gongye Bai on the upper Chishui River."
"You... are qualified to watch."
