Hearing the familiar voice, Guangchengzi froze for a moment, then chuckled.
Only Yellow Dragon could send starlight carrying a message through Kunlun Mountain's wards!
"Come have some peaches!"
Guangchengzi rose and straightened his Daoist robes. "How could I refuse an invitation from my junior brother?"
Meanwhile, Taiyi, Yuding, Chijingzi, and the other direct disciples of the Sect of Elucidation received Yellow Dragon's starlight messages and prepared to head to the Heavenly Court.
