"Hm? How did it suddenly shift so far off course?" Hun Shi, who had been traveling, stopped and asked Kong Mu, who stood beside him wrapped in a black robe.
Hun Shi looked to be around forty. A scar ran across his face, left behind when he had risked his life against a Dou Zong in his youth.
"It seems this enemy is no ordinary opponent... To move such a great distance in an instant is not something a mere Dou Zong could accomplish. It seems to be a Dou Zun..." Kong Mu was completely concealed beneath his black robe, his features impossible to make out. His hoarse voice carried a trace of gravity.
"Yes, though we had expected as much. After all, withered wood Protector never even managed to send word back."
"Still, it's strange for a Dou Zun to appear on the Northwest Continent. Could it be Gu Qianmo?" Hun Shi asked Kong Mu with some confusion. Gu Qianmo was a super expert at the Five Star Dou Zun level, someone with a certain reputation even in Central State.
"Probably not." Kong Mu's tone turned unpleasant, clearly stirred by unhappy memories. He then snorted coldly.
"Hmph. Whoever he is, if the two of us join forces, even a Three Star Dou Zun won't escape alive!"
Hun Shi, however, said with some concern.
"That may be true, but if we really run into Gu Qianmo..."
"Hmph!" Kong Mu snorted angrily, flung his sleeve, tore open space, and left on his own.
"Hey, old man, slow down." Hun Shi spoke helplessly, hastily following after him. He tore open another spatial rift and slipped inside.
Within the Ten Thousand Miles Wilderness.
