The Eve of Slaughter

"Brother Gu, what did you want to see me about?"

Mu Qingyang gave Gu Shen another careful look.

Gu Shen's aura... he was certain now. This was the Eighth Layer of Deep Sea.

"After giving it some thought, I decided I should come and let Brother Qingyang know about something."

Gu Shen took out Tang Ran's head. It had been frozen solid beneath shards of ice, layers upon layers of hard frost covering it inside and out... This was the power of his Pure Land Domain.

Mu Qingyang's expression immediately changed.

His face turned grave.

It was... it really was!

"Sky Sheath Shards?"
