Step One!

After a long while, Zhou Xu finally came back to himself.

"That was Sea King Xia... My apologies, my apologies."

"If it had been anyone else claiming that a Star Plucking Realm cultivator could heal Changkong, I absolutely wouldn't have believed it."

"But since it's Sea King Xia, I really do believe it!"

What had happened in the Central Domain had already spread throughout the Upper Domain. After all, it was unheard-of for anyone to make the Azure Wave Divine Sect suffer such a huge loss. Recently, everywhere in the Upper Domain where there were people, they were discussing it.

Xia Wuji had wielded the Heart of the Sea King, driven the birth of a Great Sage in the Central Domain, directed everything from behind the scenes, and suppressed the Azure Wave Divine Sect's army.

Many people in the Upper Domain called Xia Wuji the Most Courageous Man, while many others were convinced that he was hiding a huge secret!

"I've already dispersed the Heart of the Sea King, so I'm no longer the Sea King of the Chaotic Sea in the Central Domain. Senior Zhou, you can just call me by my name," Xia Wuji said.

A glint flashed through Zhou Xu's eyes as he looked toward Gu Lei.

Gu Lei nodded, then said, "Old Zhou, you're the person I trust most, so I brought him before you."

Zhou Xu's expression turned much more solemn. "Old Gu, you really don't treat your old brother's life as a life."

Gu Lei said, "After all, even when a Heavenly Sage expert from the Azure Wave Divine Sect held a blade to your neck, you wouldn't have so much as blinked. That's why I trust you completely, Old Zhou."

The corner of Zhou Xu's mouth twitched violently.

Was that the same thing?
