"Why wouldn't I dare?"
Su Hao sensed a trace of fear from the Essence-Devouring Divine Turtle.
Instead, he grew even more curious about the grudges between the Essence-Devouring Divine Turtle and Taiqing.
"Just a few minor misunderstandings." The Essence-Devouring Divine Turtle's gaze flickered. Turning its back, it waved a hand. "I'm leaving."

Though the incarnation had disappeared, its true body was still concealed in a shadow somewhere beyond the Chiqing Realm.
Su Hao pressed on.
