"Master is going too?"

Gu Mofan and the other two were startled by the Dao Source Immortal Emperor's words.

Their master was in the Original True World and had not appeared in the True Realm for many years.

The last time he had intervened, he had made an exception to save their youngest junior brother. They had heard he clashed with the Southern Region Supreme, but even then, he had sent only an incarnation, not appeared in person.
