Mu Li hesitated to enter until a boy’s voice stirred a strange, sorrowful warmth in him, and he finally followed the others through instead of using Dawn’s teleportation formation.

Meanwhile, Lin Chuan, Zero Burial, and Qin Lang reached the barren plain where the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder space was about to open, leaving Qin Lang’s resurrection and Lin Chuan’s attempt to control the divine thunder at stake.

• Lin An warned Lin Chen that the elders’ council suspected him, then gave him information about Lin Qi in exchange for Lin Chen targeting only council members.
