Taoist Hengyu not only held an extremely high seniority, but his cultivation also represented the pinnacle of combat power in today's Daoist world.
When a senior of such ancient, venerable standing appeared,
the sect Taoists Wan Yun and Kongshan both formed hand seals and greeted him:
"Maoshan's Wan Yun greets Senior Hengyu!"
"Kongtong's Kongshan greets Senior Hengyu!"
Master and the others did not know him either, but they all clasped their fists in gratitude.
If Taoist Hengyu had not broken open the bronze gate, we would all have been in danger.
At that moment, Second Senior Sister Diwu Wanxi stepped forward and spoke to Master:
"Master, this is Taoist Hengyu of Mount Qingcheng. He was also the one who discovered the problem and led us through the ghost domain passage beneath Luojia Lake to get here."
"Senior Hengyu, I have long admired you!"
"Senior Hengyu!"
"..."
Master and Uncle Yu spoke in turn, clasping their fists once more.
I followed suit, clasping my fists to show my respect, while sweeping my gaze around.
Other than the enormous Carefree Tower having vanished, everything here seemed to be changing.
The ancient city was emerging, while the lake water was disappearing.
This place itself was a natural Spirit Illusion Ghost Domain.
There were also three corpses on the ground. They should have belonged to invited guests who had escaped before us, only to encounter Taoist Hengyu and the others here and be killed.
Senior Hengyu had kind, benevolent features. He smiled and nodded.
"Boundless Heavenly Worthy, it is good that everyone is safe.
Now that Carefree Tower has been annihilated,
I have discovered that some remnants escaped as well.
Therefore, this is not the time for greetings.
We should go all out and eradicate every last remnant..."
Taoist Hengyu did not waste words.
