At this moment, Yi Tian's appearance was extremely frightening, so he didn't rashly show himself. Instead, he hid in a dim corner, watching the ebb and flow of people outside. He was also aware of how filthy he was, and if he were to venture out recklessly, Alliance soldiers might become suspicious of him. To reduce the difficulty, he naturally chose concealment. Yi Tian was quite adept at concealing himself; he walked along the dark places, trying to appear natural to avoid arousing suspicion.

The idea seemed good, but if someone is constantly walking along the dark areas, deliberately hiding their face, it becomes suspicious. The soldiers stationed by the Alliance were no fools, not to mention the advanced equipment present. Therefore, Yi Tian was unaware that from the moment he started walking along the dark places, he had already been targeted. However, the Alliance soldiers did not show themselves; instead, machines would occasionally fly by to determine his location.

Everything seemed calm, and indeed, it was this way for Yi Tian, but the members of the Alliance had already begun moving in the shadows.

Without alerting ordinary citizens in the city, they let Yi Tian roam aimlessly. His trace was exposed without his knowledge, making it perfect for the Alliance members to set various traps for the unwary. It's undeniable that the Alliance's efficiency was high, as within a short time, they set up an ambush, just waiting for Yi Tian to step into it. How they would get him to step into it, however, was another matter entirely.

The advantage of dark places was that they concealed Yi Tian's terrifying appearance while allowing him to freely observe his surroundings. Despite not seeing patrolling soldiers, Yi Tian noticed several hidden sentries, but he skillfully avoided them without a hint of anxiety. For him, encountering such situations had become so common that he felt relatively unaffected.

As he continued forward, Yi Tian had no idea where his destination was. Since Alliance people could reside anywhere as long as they did not flaunt their arrangements, finding their base was not easy. Yi Tian considered this, so he didn't rush to find the Alliance's base tonight; he'd take tonight to gather intelligence, to familiarize himself with the roads nearby before searching for the base. After all, it's estimated that Bai Lian wouldn't be leaving anytime soon.

With this in mind, Yi Tian felt more relaxed, since it had been a long time since he last entered a city. The last time he entered a city, before he could even see what it was like, he was surrounded by a large group trying to kill him, nearly losing his life. Fortunately, they managed to escape. With this experience guiding him, Yi Tian realized that unless he hid in the Virtual Realm, he couldn't have a peaceful life, but without finding Bai Lian, how could he have a peaceful life?

While slowly walking, considering his next move, a familiar silhouette caught Yi Tian's eye in the corner of his vision. This sight struck Yi Tian like a bolt of lightning; his body froze, and he almost dashed out from the dark place. Luckily, he was able to maintain his composure, resisting the urge to rush out. However, his gaze remained fixed on Bai Lian's silhouette.

His eyes locked on the figure weaving through the crowd. Besides Bai Lian, there was only one Superpower User by her side, and no extra people. That person followed behind Bai Lian, step by step, seemingly her subordinate. Bai Lian, however, paid no attention to the person beside her, continuing forward on her own.

Yi Tian remembered Bai Lian was also a Superpower User, one of the Natural Awakening type. This matter dates back to when he had just left the orphanage, but at this moment, Yi Tian had no mood to recall such old events. The person was right in front of him, making everything else insignificant. Watching Bai Lian about to disappear into the crowd, Yi Tian let out a low exclamation and hurriedly quickened his pace to follow.

Tracking someone wasn't difficult, particularly for Yi Tian. Upon spotting Bai Lian, he immediately locked onto her trace, unafraid of alarming her with his reckless actions. His abilities made this an easy task. Hence, even if Bai Lian's silhouette vanished from view, he'd still be aware of her location.

His body shifted and entered a secluded alley.

Once inside the alley, Yi Tian had no intention of hiding his presence, quickly scaling a tall building, unconcerned about patrollers above spotting him. He unfurled his body, swiftly dashing in the direction he sensed. Throughout this rapid chase, his figure moved as fast as lightning, so advanced machines could only perceive a fleeting shadow and couldn't capture his precise silhouette.

In such circumstances, Yi Tian ignored everything else, focusing solely on charging forward. Consequently, he quickly caught up with Bai Lian, weaving through the crowd. While out strolling, regardless of the situation, one couldn't move too quickly. So Yi Tian stood atop a tall building, observing Bai Lian's situation.

During the pursuit, he had already seen Bai Lian's appearance, very familiar, still carrying that calm demeanor; however, a layer of frost now covered her face and her eyes shimmered with a faint cold light. A subtle killing intent emerged on her face. This clearly beautiful face, shrouded by such a killing intent, caused people to avoid approaching her.

Even those passing by involuntarily moved aside, avoiding contact with this seemingly daunting figure. But Bai Lian seemed entirely indifferent to this, as if those people naturally ought to avoid her.

Witnessing this scene from the building, Yi Tian involuntarily sighed, truly not knowing what to say. Was she still the Bai Lian he knew, or had she become something unrecognizable due to Alliance transformation? As he stared at that beautiful face, he became somewhat lost, but feeling the subtle killing intent emanating from Bai Lian, his heart suddenly ached.

He clenched his fists instinctively, and Yi Tian made up his mind—he would seize Bai Lian today no matter what. Once successful, he would flee immediately. But currently, they were in a bustling area, so even Yi Tian, bold as he was, wouldn't dare act here, given the multitude of potential complications.

The two continued leisurely, gradually entering a slightly secluded area, aligning perfectly with Yi Tian's intentions. As long as they were in a quiet place, regardless of their numbers, Yi Tian would take action. As the surrounding crowd thinned, Yi Tian began slowly closing in on Bai Lian.

Seeing the two enter a completely empty area, Yi Tian knew the opportunity had arrived. His body crouched like a leopard and lunged forward. The speed was such that no one could react in time. With deft movement and a silent swoosh, Yi Tian pounced on the person trailing Bai Lian, exerting force to tear them apart.

Blood sprayed out with a splatter. The commotion behind also startled Bai Lian in front. Surprisingly, Bai Lian displayed no anxiety; she simply turned and stepped back, a cyan light burst from her body. Her movements were fluid, devoid of any stiffness. While retreating, she swung her hand, unleashing dozens of Wind Blades to gain some time. Such swift, decisive action suggested Bai Lian hadn't been living a pampered life within the Alliance.
