Under the protection of Old Wen and the high-level martial artists from Ten Thousand Saints Mountain and Qi Tian Sect, Lin Bai, Wang Zhengyang, Qi Lingyu, Goddess Li Guxian, and Lu Yunzhe soon arrived at Heaven Sword Peak.
Its location was extremely special. Although it lay within the Northern Region's territory, it was not too far from Eternal Night Pass or Horizon Pass.
If any emergency arose, they could quickly retreat into the passes.
The mountain was deserted, with no trace of any other martial artists.
After arriving at Heaven Sword Peak, several elders at the Supreme Dao Fruit realm repeated their old trick, setting up a defensive formation and isolating the surrounding space to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.
Once they had finished setting up the defensive formation, the elders at the Supreme Dao Fruit realm each stood behind their respective Holy Sons and said no more.
Ten Thousand Saints Mountain and Qi Lingyu each stood in a corner, with several elders behind them, representing different factions.
Lin Bai stood alone as well. Goddess Li Guxian and Lu Yunzhe stood behind him, as did Old Wen. They represented the Nine Underworlds Demon Palace.
On Heaven Sword Peak, the wind and snow continued to howl.
No one spoke for a long while. In the end, Lin Bai let out a soft sigh and chose to speak first.
"Ah!"
Lin Bai's long sigh seemed to press down upon the howling wind and snow filling the sky.
Wang Zhengyang laughed when he heard it. "It seems that over the past year or two, Brother Lin has had a thousand words he could hardly put into words."
Qi Lingyu also teased him with a smile. "The position of Holy Son of the Nine Underworlds Demon Palace hasn't been easy to sit in, has it?"
