The black-clothed man had large bones but a lean frame, and his brow was steeped in the weariness of countless years.
He was clearly grievously injured. His face was deathly pale and nearly translucent, while an unhealed sword wound pierced through his chest and out his back!
Touching that wound, the black-clothed man winced in pain.
"Thankfully, I have temporarily shaken off this pursuit. At last, I have a chance to give Lord Emperor an answer..."
The black-clothed man revealed a smile of relief.
Had Su Yi been here, he would certainly have recognized that the black-clothed man was Qi Fufeng!
Back when they were at the ascension grounds on White Deer Mountain in Scene Continent, Qi Fufeng had met Su Yi, who subsequently arranged for him to handle certain matters.
They met again later in White Reed Continent.
Afterward, following Su Yi's instructions, Qi Fufeng went to investigate the truth behind the Bi'an Spirit Clan's destruction.
And now, he had uncovered a valuable lead!
Hm?
Suddenly, the sound of something tearing through the air came from beneath the distant heavens.
A group of sword cultivators riding escaping lights sped toward him with shrill whistles.
They had come again!
Qi Fufeng's expression changed drastically, and he turned to flee.
At the same time, a secret talisman appeared in his palm.
Su Yi had given him this secret talisman. So long as he crushed it, he could contact Su Yi!
If he truly reached the end of the road, Qi Fufeng would crush the talisman without the slightest hesitation.
Buzhou Mountain.
Yaoguang Pure Land.
Within an ancient Blessed Grotto-Heaven of the highest order, Su Yi was meditating in tranquil concentration.
This time, after wiping out the Ten Thousand Spirits Church, he had gained spoils vast enough to be called astronomical.
