After a violent surge, the gray fog swiftly receded.
What greeted everyone's eyes was still the same cracked earth and withered trees, as though the gray fog had never appeared at all.
This sudden change caught everyone completely off guard.
Mu Qing was stunned as well. What exactly was going on now?
The gray fog had simply dispersed. Looking around, there was no sign of any enemy.
Everyone found this utterly baffling.
"What's going on?" Even the people from Heartless Hall were dumbfounded.
Just as everyone had been preparing for a fierce battle, the gray fog suddenly vanished. It was quite unexpected.
Although the gray fog had dispersed, everyone still decided to remain on high alert.
Yet more than half an hour passed, and nothing happened.
"This..."
Tian Yin, Zi Jinyuan, and the others no longer knew what to say.
They had thought a powerful enemy was coming, but in the end, nothing showed up.
Not even a shadow!
"Wait!"
Suddenly, Mu Qing sensed something strange, and everyone's gaze fell on him.
Mu Qing looked somewhat surprised as he took out the half holy relic statue from his robes. The damaged statue was trembling frantically.
Strands of golden light bloomed from it, spreading into the void.
Seeing this, Mu Qing's heart stirred, and he hurriedly shouted, "Someone is coming in from outside!"
Everyone immediately reacted.
All of them promptly looked around. Sure enough, they discovered a patch of distorted space, where the outline of a figure was silently taking shape.
Almost at the same moment, the four from Heartless Hall, the five from the Heavenly Court, and the eight from the Ancient Immortal Realm all turned their gazes in that direction.
The figure fully emerged from the void—it was that familiar blue hair!
Mu Qing was the first to act.
