Then the man saw a mangled corpse, torn to pieces and a bloody mess, clearly dead for only a few days.
It was the body of "Le Yunhai," killed by the Devouring Heaven Immortal Toad.
Though the man did not know Le Yunhai, he instantly concluded that the target he had come to deal with was very likely somewhere within this ruined valley!
"Over the years, all five Immortal Lords stationed here by the Divine Fire Sect have perished. It seems this opponent is no simple matter."
The man murmured.
A fierce, blazing edge flickered deep in his eyes. "All the better. If the opponent is too weak, I'll only leave disappointed."
The man had intended to enter Wen Xuan Mountain Valley, but when his gaze caught the collapsed stone stele at its entrance, he stopped in his tracks.
"I nearly forgot. There's also a true-spirit imprint belonging to the Devouring Heaven Immortal Toad here."
After thinking for a moment, he ultimately decided to remain here and wait for his opponent to emerge.
Time trickled by.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, the man turned his head. In the far distance, Tang Lingqi and Tang Bao Er were walking over.
"You two are quite strange. Call you bold, and you broke out in cold sweat when you saw me earlier. Call you timid, and you've come running here without fear of death. What exactly are you trying to do?"
The man sighed.
He waved a hand. "Do as you please. Just remember not to come near this place."
With that, he sat on a rock amid the ruins to one side, removed the sword case from his back, laid it across his knees, then pressed one hand on it while lifting a wine jug with the other and drinking by himself.
