Opportunity Arrives

"White Zetsu caused a commotion in Kunyang City at noon. I don't know what happened, so let's go find him and get a clearer picture first," said a casual, calm voice.

"Shouldn't we let them know?" a clear voice asked, its gaze falling on Shui Mochan and Luo Yuxi.

"Not for now. We'll talk after we see White Zetsu!" With that, the person turned and stepped into the air, leaving.

"All right!" The other person shrugged and followed helplessly.

A breeze stirred their robes, and a red cloud swept past. From the moment they appeared to the moment they left, not a single person in the City Lord's Manor noticed their presence. Even the City Lord, a Deity Transformation cultivator, sensed nothing at all. If others had known of this, even sleepless nights and loss of appetite would not have been enough to describe the terror in their hearts.

At this moment, although Lin Chuan watched the matches in the arena calmly, endless waves had already surged within his heart.

Why are they here...? Lin Chuan was puzzled and alarmed at the same time. He had nearly been discovered just now.

Three years apart, and their cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds, while I... Lin Chuan shook his head inwardly. Being discovered would not have mattered much, but he truly did not want to return to [Akatsuki] in his current state.

They seem to have left... White Zetsu's incident at noon must have drawn them here... Lin Chuan guessed, then stopped dwelling on it.

Several rounds had already taken place in the arena, and the performances had been "spectacular" indeed. Yet most people merely laughed them off and did not take them seriously—until the heir of Prince Zixia appeared atop the waterside pavilion.

His appearance immediately drew everyone's attention.
