"A Golden Core Cultivator!? Damn it, this is a trap! Split up and run!"
Huo Bai's sudden appearance had clearly exceeded the expectations of the men sent to ambush and kill Fang Qingyuan. According to their intelligence, Fang Qingyuan only had a Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Body Cultivator as a guard. They never imagined a Golden Core Cultivator was hiding in the background.
Upon seeing Huo Bai, the elderly leader, a Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, shouted out in alarm. He immediately halted his charge, spun around, and rapidly fled.
When the other seven or eight Cultivators saw this, they were utterly terrified. Scared out of their wits, they couldn't spare a thought for anything else but fleeing as far away as possible.
As for ganging up to fight the Golden Core Cultivator, the thought never even crossed their minds.
