"Uncle?"
Before Qin Shaofeng even saw who had arrived, he called out in delight.
By now, they had obtained five of the seven Formation Foundation Stones.
They had even received news of where the formation base was located.
Unknown dangers lay ahead, and having an expert like Ximen Lingzhong join them was a tremendous blessing.
That single word, Uncle—
Immediately made Keshuo, who was cultivating beside him, whip his head around.
As a Void Realm expert,
Ximen Lingzhong's arrival had not let him sense the slightest trace of an aura, which had already been shocking enough.
Now, he heard that this person was the uncle of the young master he had only recently acknowledged.
The worry and fear in his heart instantly turned into curiosity.
What sort of overwhelmingly powerful existence was the young master's uncle?
"You brat, your ears are sharp indeed."
Ximen Lingzhong's laughter carried a chilling quality. As he revealed himself, he said, "This old man deliberately concealed the killing intent in my voice, yet you still recognized it right away."
"You jest, Uncle. There probably aren't more than a few people across several worlds who could approach my side without a sound, are there?" Qin Shaofeng said with a smile.
"That is true."
Ximen Lingzhong nodded.
He knew exactly what kind of beings stood at Qin Shaofeng's side.
Ordinary people truly could not silently approach Qin Shaofeng as he had.
"Uncle, you came at just the right time. I happened to discover a strange place that I wish to explore. If you hadn't come, I truly wouldn't have known whether I should wait for you," Qin Shaofeng said with a smile.
"Whether you should wait for me?"
Ximen Lingzhong sneered and said, "I think you want me here to serve as your hired thug, don't you?"
