A satisfied smile appeared on Sikong Jing's pale face. He nodded and said, "We've made contact. Old Xiu has replied as well. Everything has gone as smoothly as we planned..."
Upon hearing this, Master Wuji immediately broke into a radiant smile as well.
Earlier, the young master had merely regulated his breathing for a moment before immediately deploying the Qianyuan Battle-Killing Formation to contact them across the distance.
And Old Xiu had truly received it—and replied.
The smile faded from Sikong Jing's face as he continued, "I'll return to the Spirit Sparrow Mini-Realm first to enter seclusion and heal my injuries.

Master Wuji and the other two exchanged glances, still unable to figure out just who the expert Young Master Sikong had invited was.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the blink of an eye, two days
