Shen Luo and his group emerged from the Demon Suppression Tower and made their way through the buildings of Little Western Heaven toward the Ten Thousand Buddhas Golden Pagoda.
As Bai Linglong looked at the Buddhist-realm-style buildings around them, she could not conceal the deep loathing in her eyes. The years she had spent suppressed within the Demon Suppression Tower had been too long and too agonizing. The anger and hatred accumulated in her heart could naturally not have been slight.
Shen Luo walked shoulder to shoulder with Nie Caizhu, his gaze constantly assessing Bai Linglong, the founding ancestor of Daughter Village.
She walked alone at the very front. Sun Granny, along with the Liu Feiyan sisters, kept a considerable distance from her. Shen Luo felt that from the instant she had stepped out of the Demon Suppression Tower, an unusual aura seemed to have enveloped her.
It was as if an invisible funnel of heaven and earth surrounded her, drawing in the surging ambient spiritual energy and gathering it toward her body, where she absorbed it soundlessly.
Yet after her battle with the Ancestral Dragon, the aura she emitted had remained at the Early True Immortal Stage. Although she had continuously absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth along the way, her aura had never shown any obvious fluctuations.
Shen Luo did not doubt that anyone suppressed on the highest level of the Demon Suppression Tower had to be at least an Early Taiyi Stage cultivator. What she was displaying now was definitely not her true state.
As for the Northern Abyss Kun, Shen Luo could not yet determine his true intentions. Though their earlier cooperation had gone fairly smoothly, he could not be trusted easily. Everything would have to wait until they entered the Ten Thousand Buddhas
