Purple Origin Star Dragon, Zi Xu Palace

Yun Jin nodded as well, still shaken. "Let's head back quickly and tell the others about this."

He then took the lead and flew ahead.

Ning Fa watched his retreating figure, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Yun Jin had still underestimated the power of his divine sense. Ning Fa's divine sense had caught those peculiar soundless syllables Yun Jin had just emitted.

Clearly, that puppet had most likely turned around and left because of them.

This deeply shocked Ning Fa. What exactly was the relationship between Yun Jin and that powerful puppet?

Yun Jin instantly became even more unfathomable in Ning Fa's eyes, making him all the more wary of the man.

His face was filled with excitement, even bearing an utterly stunned expression as he shouted, "Senior Mingya, I discovered a magnificent purple palace on the mountaintop!
