"Hmm?"
Just as Gu Yuan said that, Wang Ling's movements paused slightly.
Even his gaze changed.
He hadn't been affected?
That wasn't right.
It shouldn't have been possible.
Where had things gone wrong?
"Hold it right there. I just want to borrow a path through."
Gu Yuan glanced at him, unsure what exactly was wrong with this person. Why did he look so desperate?
Borrow a path?
What path?
Wang Ling could not see anything unusual about Gu Yuan, so naturally, he had no idea what that meant.
"Your loop is affecting people."
Gu Yuan had actually been very polite all along. After all, energy really should not be wasted. He looked at Wang Ling and spoke earnestly.
From the looks of it, this woman was probably just doing it for fun.
A Myriad Laws powerhouse was playing house here.
It was hard to know what to say.
"A loop?"
As soon as those words fell, the surrounding air began to freeze.
It was as if time had stopped.
No, time really had stopped!
"Who... are you?"
His previous smile vanished. Wang Ling's voice turned icy, and he looked utterly serious.
He had already felt that something was wrong. Strange things had appeared within the loop.
Some people had even failed to enter the loop, throwing all his plans into disarray.
He had not expected the mastermind behind it all to jump out on his own—and right in front of him.
"Just a passerby. No need to be so hostile."
Smiling at Wang Ling, Gu Yuan curiously glanced at the surrounding space.
Under the power of time, even space froze. He had to admit, the Law of Time was damn impressive.
And so—
Before Wang Ling's astonished eyes—
Gu Yuan simulated the Law of Time.
He slightly weakened the solidification.
