(Second update! Definitely gearing up for a burst of updates today!)
"It seems some cultivators are fighting up ahead!" Wang Yan thought. Not daring to be careless, he slowly made his way forward. The passage ahead had brightened because luminous beads had begun appearing on the pillars, lighting the way...
"Hm? These beads?!" Wang Yan glanced at them, then at the bead in his hand. They looked almost identical. It seemed his bead was the same as those.
However.
Wang Yan had no time to bother with the beads. They served no purpose beyond illumination, but the light actually made him more worried. It would be harder to hide now, so he could only advance cautiously along the wall...
There was only one thought in his mind now.
He would repay the humiliation he had suffered back then a hundredfold to that bastard...
That fellow was so treacherous and cunning, and he had help from some unknown presence that even Card Fairy could not sense. Wang Yan dared not let his guard down and could only inch forward with his back against the wall...
Fortunately, the rows of pillars in the passage made it harder for anyone ahead to spot him.
But.
In truth, that figure had long since vanished to who knew where.
Wang Yan knew the figure had been following Fairy Purple Smoke and seemed to be plotting something against her. That took some nerve, though it certainly suited that fellow's heaven-defying audacity. This made him all the more cautious.

Wang Yan also sensed that the entire passage was curving and shifting, apparently spiraling upward. It seemed to lead toward the mountaintop...
At the end of the passage...
There!
"Go!" Four or five White Spirit
