No Return

In his battle with Emperor Bone Mystic Profound Venerable, Gu An seemed to have won, but Emperor Bone Mystic Profound Venerable had a thousand and one ways to escape. If it had truly been a fight to the death and the enemy fled, how could that be called victory?

Besides, Zhentian Endless Tower was only one part of the Dark Heavenly Court, an elite force the Dark Heavenly Court had dispatched toward the Heavenly Dao. Destroying Zhentian Endless Tower was not the same as destroying the Dark Heavenly Court; it would only forge an even greater hatred.

Gu An recalled the earlier battle, and his heart grew increasingly wary.

He had still been careless.

Relying on his Great Dao Formless Body and his own strength, he had rashly barged into the enemy's lair.

This time, venting his anger had felt satisfying, but he could not do this again in the future.

One small act of willfulness was enough!

Gu An admonished himself like this.

An Xin asked a few more questions about the Dark God, and only after she was completely reassured did she leave.

Gu An did not return to his room. Instead, he sat on the long bench in the courtyard and raised his right hand. The Wushi Divine Sparrow appeared on his fingertip.

Shen Zhen turned her head to look at him and just happened to see him admiring the Wushi Divine Sparrow.

"What kind of bird is that? It's so handsome!" Shen Zhen could not help asking.

Gu An tossed the Wushi Divine Sparrow to her and introduced it, "Call it the Wushi Divine Sparrow from now on. It's a strange bird I discovered outside."

He concealed the Wushi Divine Sparrow's origins not because he had any special intention, but simply because he found it amusing.
