Suddenly, Hulun Kaida sensed something was wrong. The next second, pain flared in his chest!
He looked down and saw a Golden Cudgel sticking out of his chest!
Blood streamed down it without pause.
"Brother! Help me!"
Someone had ambushed him!
Damn it!
He hadn't sensed a thing!
Who was this?
He had no time to think. He passed out on the spot.
The Golden Cudgel had pierced straight through his heart.
Hearing Hulun's voice, Monica sped toward him. But when he arrived, all he saw was Hulun's corpse on the ground. There wasn't another soul around!
Although Hulun was dead, the Mountain Embracing Seal he'd already activated remained.
But Hulun's death caused the seal's power to steadily weaken.

But he couldn't sense any powerful demon beasts!
