Night.
After two days of seclusion, he had intended to ride the waves a little longer after coming out, to learn more of the latest news.
For no reason at all, his heart suddenly palpitated.
Within "Perception," there was now an extra ripple of danger.
Xu Xiaoshou held down Xin Gugu, who had just sprinted back from outside the building, clamoring that he had not used his full strength earlier and trying to fight another bloody battle. He raised his eyes toward the outside.
Beyond First Pavilion Under Heaven, in the direction of Holy Spirit Hall, an astonishing fluctuation came faintly and covertly.
Under normal circumstances, Xu Xiaoshou would have found it difficult to detect.
But this time, not only had "Perception" reached Sovereign level, every major mastery-type passive skill throughout his body had reached Sovereign level as well.
Having experienced far too many insights into the Way in the Origin Mansion world, Xu Xiaoshou keenly sensed that it was a Demi-Saint fluctuation.
Moreover, mixed within it was a startling sword intent, as though it had come to demand an explanation.
"Rao Yaoyao!"
Without needing to think, Xu Xiaoshou confirmed the visitor's identity.
The Red Robes' ruling master of the Way, one of the Seven Sword Immortals—Rao Yaoyao!
"She's here..."
Even with his toes, he could guess that Rao Yaoyao had not merely happened to pass by.
With the Yunlun Mountain Range affair settled, this female Sword Immortal had surely come straight to First Pavilion Under Heaven with the intent of getting to the bottom of things.
Xu Xiaoshou had previously wondered why Shouye of the Red Robes had never come looking.
So Shouye might have been intimidated by Mei Suren and let the matter drop.
Yet what that had brought instead was someone with an even more heaven-defying identity
