"I wonder whether those two old geezers, Lin Banyáng and Wang Jiyun, have arrived yet..."
This was a land shrouded in thick fog.
Within the endless fog, a gate seemed to stand tall, towering through space and time.
In front of the gate, a mustached middle-aged man was murmuring to himself.
He was none other than Shu Lehao Chi, the Divine Emperor of the Gold-devouring Rat clan!
Behind him stood another middle-aged man, who was gnawing on a divine herb.
He was none other than Ao Wushuang!
"Divine Emperor, do you think those people can make it in?"
"I'm afraid that's unlikely..."
Ao Wushuang spoke as he ate.
Truthfully, he rather liked this place...
There were divine herbs everywhere, all free for the taking. His cultivation was rising by leaps and bounds, and on top of that, it was safe!
He would never have to worry about encountering that sinister Small Mountain Village again.
And he certainly wouldn't have to worry about running into that big black dog!
What a beautiful life. What a wonderful paradise beyond the mortal world!
At the thought that once Gray Mist Divine Emperor and the others arrived, this place would probably erupt into fighting, he felt...how boring.
Hearing Ao Wushuang's words, Shu Lehao Chi merely let out a cold laugh and said:
"Don't worry. My younger brother, Shu Lehao Jue, is carrying a treasure!"
"Even if they are poisoned, it can save them."
"They will definitely arrive here safely."
Hearing this, Ao Wushuang silently hoped that they would all just die from the poison...and stop disturbing him!
"Going by the timing, it should be about time..."
Shu Lehao Chi murmured before saying:
"Hide with Me!"
As soon as he spoke, he and Ao Wushuang vanished from where they stood.
At this moment.
