Southern Wilderness, amid the mountains, a streak of spiritual light flashed past and vanished.
It didn't catch up.
His figure solidified. After confirming that the strange power had not followed him, Jiang Chen finally stopped.
At this moment, within his perception, that valley had already been shrouded by an utterly bizarre power, turning into a complete dead zone. It seems Great Barbarian Venerable's transformation into an evil aberration might not have been a mere coincidence. His greatest purpose was to guard that valley and conceal that spatial rift. Before he was captured, that rift had not revealed the slightest trace. This definitely wasn't a simple coincidence.
