"Gu Shen!"
"Brother Gu!"
"Young Friend Gu!"
Calls of greeting flooded into Gu Shen's heart.
More than twenty Northern Continent generals had deliberately "blocked" this necessary route to Central City, all just to see Gu Shen.
Among them were comrades who had experienced the storm war together at Gubu Fortress.
There were also comrades who had risked life and death alongside him in the Doru River Calamity Realm.
Gu Shen saw many familiar faces. He remembered that some of them had not been particularly outstanding during the extermination mission in the Doru River Calamity Realm, yet they had now become key powerhouses stationed across the Northern Continent... He had not expected them to come. Six years had passed, and many people had already forgotten him.
But they had not.
"They told me not to tell you, since they wanted to give you a surprise."
Mu Wanqiu stopped the Miniature Boat in midair.
Gu Shen stepped out of the cabin on the Iron Sword of Truth and looked at the former comrades who had deliberately waited for him.
Partings in life and death.
A reunion now.
Sometimes, no words were needed. Comrades who had faced life and death together could understand each other with just one look.
The members of the Investigation Corps' Second Team who had traveled north with him were here as well.
Li Chen, who had used the Source Child to link the entire team and open up an extraordinary field of vision; Mo Hongyi, who loved betting with others but always lost; Su He, the taciturn rear guard who silently bore the heaviest burden; Zhang Ning, a fellow native of the Eastern Continent...
They were all here.
Yuan Yuan, the vice-captain of Second Team, was here too.
"Brother Gu, we just happened to be passing by."
