The Bodhi Ancient Tree suddenly swayed again. As its branches fluttered, dense clusters of light drifted leisurely from its trunk, filling the entire sky in mere moments.
"Hmm?"
Xiao Ling narrowed his eyes and looked over, letting out a quiet cry of surprise. Various illusions were unfolding within those balls of light, and quite a few of the figures within them were familiar to him.
Gu Qingyang of the Gu Clan and several of his clansmen, Xiao Yan, whom he had met at the Space Trading Fair, and a group of people dressed in Alchemist Tower robes were all among them.
Most of the people in the other light clusters were strangers to Xiao Ling, but judging from their techniques, the Dou Skills they used, and the distinctive attire unique to certain factions, he could roughly determine where they came from.
Besides the Gu Clan and the Alchemist Tower, members of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan were also present. Clearly, they had all come in search of the Bodhi Ancient Tree.
As Xiao Ling's gaze swept across the scene, he spotted a familiar figure within one of the light clusters. It was Feng Qing'er, whom he had not seen for a long time.
But in the next instant, Xiao Ling suddenly realized that his own figure was reflected in Feng Qing'er's illusion.
His expression twitched slightly at the sight. He instinctively turned to glance at Xun'er beside him, and only quietly sighed in relief when he saw that her attention was not focused there.
"Brother Xiao Ling, Xun'er seems to have found something."
Xun'er's soft call suddenly came from beside him. Xiao Ling's heart instantly tightened, and he hurriedly looked in the direction she pointed. Seeing that her gaze had fallen on another ball of light, he finally relaxed again.
