There were some things he would never forget for as long as he lived.
Like his goal of fighting the bizarre.
Like the people beside him, like the path he had to walk.
He remembered all of those.
Watching him pretend to be calm only made Luo Yiyi feel worse.
She withdrew her hand and said softly,
"The medicine is almost cold. Drink it. Get some rest afterward. You still have the arrays to work on tomorrow."
Su Ming nodded and drained the bowl of medicine in one gulp.
The warm medicine settled into his stomach, bathing his soul in warmth. Even the discomfort from his blurred memories eased considerably.
The two turned toward the Cave Mansion.
After just two steps, Su Ming suddenly stopped.
His perception network had caught a faint disturbance.
It came from outside the Blood Shadow Immortal Emperor's Cave Mansion, toward the Back Mountain.
A figure slipped out without a sound and headed straight for the cliff on the Back Mountain.
It was the Blood Shadow Immortal Emperor himself.
What was he going to the cliff for at this hour?
Su Ming's gaze grew cold.
"He's on the move," he said quietly.
"Come on. Let's take a look."
The two slipped out of the Cave Mansion and sped toward the Back Mountain under cover of darkness.
They did not get too close, stopping behind a rock some distance away.
Through the feedback from the perception network, they observed the movements at the cliff's edge.
The Blood Shadow Immortal Emperor stood in the shadows beside the cliff.
He cautiously looked around. Only after confirming that no one was nearby did he take out the pitch-black Communication Talisman again.
This time, he poured more spiritual energy into it, and the Communication Talisman glowed with a faint black light.
