The atmosphere at the scene suddenly fell silent.
For this couple, who had only just reunited, the news was undoubtedly a basin of cold water poured over blazing flames. Song Qingxi instinctively clasped Song Qingxing's broad hand.

Song Changsheng said in a deep voice, "Tomorrow, the Space Teleportation Array leading to the Boundless Sword Sect will open. You must go alone, carrying the passage Sword Talisman. When the time comes, you will have to handle everything yourself."
