A gray-robed figure stood suspended in midair.
The Gray-robed Man stared fixedly at the black-robed Ghost Cultivator before him. In his hand was an emerald-green flying sword that radiated waves of spiritual light and an aura far surpassing that of an ordinary magic treasure.
"Master!"
Seeing that the man before them bore some resemblance to Daoist Jin Chen, who was in the array undergoing secluded cultivation to break through, Long Ziyun at once recognized him and could not help crying out.
This gray-robed Daoist who resembled Daoist Jin Chen was precisely one of his External Incarnations, whose cultivation had already reached the Nascent Soul Late Stage.
Before Daoist Jin Chen had entered seclusion to break through, he had long since arranged for his External Incarnation to guard the Array Eye.
This had all been arranged in secret and never publicized.
Among the many cultivators present, aside from Wang Quan'an, who was operating the grand array, no one else—not even Daoist Jin Chen's direct disciple Long Ziyun—knew of this arrangement he had made long ago.
They had thought that Daoist Jin Chen had left this External Incarnation at the headquarters of the Four Seas Merchant Alliance and had not brought it along.
Long Ziyun, whose face had just been filled with alarm, immediately heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing Daoist Jin Chen's External Incarnation appear.
Fortunately, her master had left behind a contingency plan. Otherwise, it would not merely have been a few of them who could not escape danger today.
Even Daoist Jin Chen's true body, cultivating in seclusion within, might have been affected and failed in this attempt to break through.
After sweeping his gaze over the battle still raging above, Daoist Jin Chen's External Incarnation immediately turned to Long Ziyun and the other person.
