"It shouldn't have happened this soon."
After sensing that aura, Lü Daoxuan looked puzzled.
Having fought the Demon Mother Clone for so many years, he knew perfectly well that, in her previous condition, she should have taken at least several hours to awaken.
That was also why he had felt at ease about Xu Taiping.
Boom! Boom, boom...!
Just then, with several more thunderous crashes, an even more terrifying aura fluctuation surged out through Taixuan Hall.

Having come at the Undying Night Soul's request, he naturally did not wish to see Xu Taiping harmed.
Boom-!
But just as Lü Daoxuan
