Xia Yunxi looked over with a smile. "Recovered?"
"I have." Jiang Tian gave a slight nod, his gaze instinctively sweeping toward where the Supreme Star Palace group stood.
There, the True Lords of the Supreme Star Palace were tightly gathered around an eggshell wreathed in flowing starlight.
The entire eggshell was formed from condensed stellar radiance, solid as substance, sealing away the aura within completely.
"Heh." Jiang Tian sneered.
Azure Bird had to be inside that eggshell.
If he had possessed Peak Early-Stage Golden Core cultivation—or even Mid-Stage Golden Core cultivation—then that sword strike earlier would have already sent that shrew to her death. How could she still be lingering here on her last breath?
He withdrew his gaze and casually surveyed the surroundings, examining the Golden Core True Lords arriving one after another.
Suddenly.
His pupils contracted sharply. His entire body froze as though a bolt of lightning had struck him.
In a corner, a figure entered his sight.
It was an inconspicuous figure, yet Jiang Tian recognized him at a single glance.
Though he had only seen this man once.
That one encounter had left an impression too deep—far too deep.
Back then, Zhu Tiangang had burned his Golden Core and gambled his life away to send him out of the encirclement.
And this figure before him was one of the pursuers who had relentlessly chased after him from behind!
He had never expected the White Lotus Sect, so far away in Cangwu Prefecture, to receive news of this secret realm and dispatch someone here as well!
This man's status panel then appeared before Jiang Tian's eyes with perfect clarity.
Hei Yan, Mid-Stage Golden Core!
In an instant, Jiang Tian's aura turned bone-chillingly cold!
The vast sword intent he had just restrained erupted uncontrollably like a volcanic explosion!
