Recluse Vastsea had already abandoned all thought of resistance. His magic array had been broken, and with it, his Dao heart.
Yet despite the Prince of Dong'an and Elder Hong Tao's insistent questioning, he maintained that he would reveal the secret to leaving this place only when he saw Tongtian!
That was why Shi Xue had been in such a hurry to find Tongtian.
She simply had not expected Bai Zeyu to pester her so unreasonably, delaying her a little longer.
"I heard you wanted to see me?"
Tongtian suddenly appeared before Recluse Vastsea.
Shi Xue followed him in. At the sight, the cultivators of Brahma Heaven Province immediately perked up. After all, they were desperate to leave this place too.
Recluse Vastsea slowly raised his head at the sight of Tongtian, then suddenly broke into a grin.
"To think I would meet my honored master's successor here."
"But why would he rather choose you than pass the Godslayer Magic Array on to me?"
At those words, Tongtian's heart suddenly lurched.
"You were the God-Slaying Heavenly Venerable's disciple?"
Recluse Vastsea gave a bleak smile.
"No one capable of breaking my array so quickly has likely even been born in the entire Shiva Holy Land."
"I began to suspect you the moment you ignored the restraining seals."
Recluse Vastsea's words sounded arrogant, but Tongtian knew that without the Godslayer Magic Array's support, he could never have discovered the array's flaws so quickly.
Still, Tongtian was surprised. He had never expected Recluse Vastsea to have any connection to the God-Slaying Heavenly Venerable.
For a moment, Tongtian's feelings grew complicated.
"I obtained the inherited secret art by chance. The Heavenly Venerable didn't personally pass it on to me."
"But let's return to the matter at hand. I want a way out of here."
