A Year's Time

"Doesn't seem to be the senior?"

Zhong Qianshan had been staring at the sky the whole time. Though the fishhook was still that familiar golden fishhook, it seemed the one who had acted was not the senior.

Thinking of this, his heart brimmed with emotion.

"Crouching Dragon Mountain—I once thought it was merely some remote, insignificant place. Now it seems my vision was far too narrow. So many powerful experts are hidden here; Immortal Vortex Realm cultivators emerge one after another."

"Could this actually be the secret stronghold of certain powerful human seniors?"

Zhong Qianshan let his imagination run wild, all manner of speculations continually surfacing in his mind.

On the other side, the others also blankly tilted their heads at a forty-five-degree angle to gaze at the sky. No one knew what they were looking at. Their eyes seemed somewhat vacant as the grand scene that had flashed by replayed over and over in their minds.

"Whew."

After a long while, Cloud Soaring and the others gently let out a breath and looked toward Zhong Qianshan questioningly. Should they keep moving forward?

Or wait here?

Just then, a streak of golden light descended from the sky again, seeming to guide them somewhere.

Seeing this—

"The senior knows we've arrived. Let's go..."

Lin Cheng's perception now covered all of Crouching Dragon Mountain and even spread outward toward Crouching Dragon Plain. The Immortal-Slaying Ancient Array was expanding faster and faster, greatly enhancing Lin Cheng's sensory abilities as well.

He had been watching everything that had just happened.

He had known when Mu Ling encountered danger too, but with that little turtle around, there was no need for him to step in over such a trivial matter.

As for Cloud Soaring and the others, someone would naturally arrange things for them.
