"Hm?"
A wisp of purple qi flashed through Chen Cuo's eyes, and a Violet Light Star flared behind him before vanishing!
A faint sense of oppression immediately filled the air.
Surprise appeared in Nanmingzi's eyes, but he knew his junior brother's temperament and made no move to resist or dodge.
Sure enough, the Aura Pressure vanished as quickly as it had come.
Before Nanmingzi could ask, Chen Cuo smiled. "Senior brother, an honored guest is about to visit the mountain. I'm afraid what little leisure you have left is about to be used up again."
Southern Darkness was about to speak when an Outer Disciple arrived, requesting an audience.
With a sigh, Nanmingzi let the disciple in. The report was just as expected: traces of the Tang Kingdom's Imperial Clan had been found, and the disciple had come to ask how he wished to handle it.
"They're members of the Li Imperial Clan. By rights and by reason, we can't simply leave them alone. If anything happens to them on the mountain, it'll mean trouble." Southern Darkness rose and turned to Chen Cuo. "Junior brother, once again, we haven't had the chance to enjoy ourselves fully."
"Senior Brother, you've worked hard and done much." Chen Cuo cupped his hands in farewell.
Southern Darkness shook his head and took his leave with a helpless sigh. Before going, however, he added, "The sect has gathered considerable intelligence on the Northern Lands. I'll send someone to bring it to you shortly. Besides that, you've now seen through the mysteries of Void and Reality and cast off the false to preserve the true. It's time to take the next step. I'll have our Dreamland Derivation Method delivered as well."
Chen Cuo did not refuse. He smiled and agreed, then closed his eyes to rest
