Barely half a foot away stood the Heavenly Palace plaza, split open by that Sword Light... That perfectly straight gash made Weijia's scalp crawl.
What kind of immortal was this little girl who had split open the void and walked out through the crack?
Having only just managed to save his own life, he couldn't help wanting to retreat... He used his Mental Power to simulate himself as a rock. Seeing that the little girl surrounded by nine swords didn't seem to notice him, Weijia quietly edged to the side.
