That abrupt voice boomed through Sikong Jing's mind, carrying boundless urgency.
It was the voice of the previous Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Sikong Jing could not help widening his eyes as he grasped the meaning of those words and reacted.
His expression changed drastically. This had to be a tiny fragment of the previous Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts' consciousness left within the small bone, while the Willow Leaf Sacred Wall had actually been forged and refined by one of the Five Heavenly Emperors.
Its purpose had been to lure him, the new generation's Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Now that he had opened the door, the consciousness left by the previous Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts inside the small bone had also been stirred awake.
And now...
He had to leave at once, or the Five Heavenly Emperors would discover him.
But Sikong Jing suddenly looked toward his granduncle, Ye Wuzhi. He was still immobilized by the power within the door. Could he take him with him?
"My successor, I will immediately unleash the consciousness within the bone and disguise it as though my consciousness was stirred by the peak Saint Martial spirit shadow before us, opening the door. I will close the door at once. Leave quickly..."
The previous Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts' voice rang out in Sikong Jing's mind once more.
It meant that they would make it appear as though Gan Wumie had triggered it, thereby opening the Sacred Wall's door.
Without time to answer, Sikong Jing looked at Ye Wuzhi again, then prepared to activate the tree patterns and try to take him along.
And at that moment of extreme tension...
The Qianyuan War Puppet, whose eyes had been dull and vacant, suddenly snapped them open. His gaze turned clear in an instant.
