Going It Alone

Inside the God King Palace.

Time stood still.

The dust floating in the air, the warm, gentle light, the tranquil breeze, and Luo Bingli standing motionless—all of it had stopped in that moment.

Beneath its glow, Luo Bingli looked like a beautiful young woman standing tall in the morning light.

She carefully sensed the golden light and said coldly, "You're probing me?"

"You're no ordinary cultivator. You're..." A voice brimming with surprise rang out from the Golden Short Sword.

It seemed to understand something.

"...I see," the Golden Short Sword sighed.

"Nothing you say could threaten me. But for Gu Qingshan's sake, I can agree," the War God System replied.

The Golden Short Sword swept through the air, and a curtain of light appeared
