"It's just... we've never heard of an Awakening King in the Immortal Realm." The other two sounded doubtful. Bai Chongya said, "Well, a name is only a symbol. But I can assure you both that His Highness truly is a prince." Luo Qian made a mental note. If Bai Chongya put it that way, the Awakening King must only be a code name. It seemed he really was a prince.

Two sharp whistles suddenly rang out from the summit. Two streaks of light flew in opposite directions, and the men spoke as one: "Bai Chongya, this matter is too grave. We won't bear the infamy of betraying our sovereign and father. Farewell!" "Hahaha..." Bai Chongya burst out laughing. "You two think you can learn this secret and leave so easily?" They had expected him not to let them go, so they fled in opposite directions without needing to confer.

Bang! Bang! The two men roared, "Bai Chongya, what did you do to the Sealing Art?" Luo Qian stole a glance up from the cave mouth and nearly laughed. The two immortal masters, so ethereal and dignified, were plastered against the barrier they themselves had laid down like flies on a windowpane. The barrier had originally kept people from entering, not leaving. Somehow, Bai Chongya had quietly tampered with it, and the two had crashed headfirst into it!

"Bai Chongya, even if neither of us can beat you alone, do you think you can defeat us together?" one of them said. The two had drawn close, united against a common enemy. Luo Qian sighed inwardly. Bai Chongya was clearly a crafty old schemer. If he had laid the whole secret bare, how could he not have a foolproof plan?

Sure enough, a voice approached from afar and soon reached the summit.
