The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss

After settling matters in the Main World, Gao Jing returned to the Great World.

He had stayed in the Main World longer this time, accumulating a vast amount of Faith Power.

The Copper Anchor's Faith Pool was nearly half full!

That gave Gao Jing complete confidence in facing the coming Battle of Contesting Currents.

He had already taken the benefits the Shen Family offered; he couldn't spit them back out even if he wanted to. He had to win this battle.

As Gao Jing devoted himself to preparing, a servant delivered him a letter.

After reading it, Gao Jing thought for a moment, then left the Radiant Wizard Tower.

At Kuilan Pavilion, which he had visited before, he met the man who had sent it—Xiong Wu!

"Lord Xiong Wu."

Once seated, Gao Jing came straight to the point. "What do you want with me?"

He had met this Great Warrior once before.

They had no friendship to speak of. They were barely more than strangers.

On his way to Kuilan Pavilion, Gao Jing had already formed a guess about Xiong Wu's intentions.

"Lord Gao Jing."

Xiong Wu leaned forward and fixed him with a stare. "I heard you agreed to fight for the Shen Family in their Battle of Contesting Currents against the Deer Family?"

The Great Warrior's gaze bore down on him.

There's a mole!

The Battle of Contesting Currents would decide the fate of two lineages. To keep either side from learning its opponent's strengths and making targeted preparations, the combatants' identities were strictly confidential.

Gao Jing was an outsider brought in to help. The Shen Family had even less reason to publicize his involvement.

Unless there was a mole.

Keeping his expression steady, he asked, "Where did you hear that?"

Xiong Wu smiled faintly. "So it's true."
