As far as Su Jiu was concerned, this was merely a minor incident along the way, and she had not taken it to heart.
Still less had she imagined that it would bring her enormous trouble before long.
Su Jiu had never imagined that she would meet three people she knew again in such a fashion.
Chill winds gusted across the mountaintop. There were neither plants nor demon beasts, only a cylindrical Circular Platform.
The Circular Platform stood ten feet high, and its outer walls were carved with what seemed to be some kind of demon beast unfamiliar to Su Jiu.
Su Jiu studied those "demon beasts," feeling that she had seen them in some book before.
Yet after looking at them, Chu Luohen's pupils contracted, and even Ning Fan stiffened for a moment.
Silver Snow's gaze was icy. Had he possessed his cultivation at that moment, he would likely have destroyed the Circular Platform at once.
In addition, a complex star map covered the Circular Platform's floor. It was a chaotic design, seemingly formed from several star maps interwoven and overlaid.
Unfortunately, Su Jiu was not a member of the Heavenly Secret Sect and could discern nothing definite from it.
She copied the carved star map onto a jade slip. Perhaps Yun Huanling would be able to make something of it.
Black Flags with Red Script were planted all around the Circular Platform.
Su Jiu recognized these flags. They were precisely the sort used to gather the baleful energy between heaven and earth.
There was also a crucifix at each of the Circular Platform's eight compass points, with a person bound to each one.
As chance would have it, Su Jiu knew two of them: Shu Wugui and Bai Su.
