Just as Su Mo was lost in thought, an exceedingly eerie voice suddenly seemed to sound beside his ear.
The voice carried a trace of ethereal mystery...
"Little brother... you've come..."
"I'm waiting for you in the depths..."
Su Mo froze, then raised his head to look into the depths, but sensed nothing.
He stepped forward and headed inward. The space on this side of the river was wider, yet there was still only one path, winding its way into the depths.
As he walked, he encountered the people who had already crossed the river earlier.
This was a sheer cliff. On this side stood an ancient stone plaque, engraved with the words "Floating Life Bridge."
Yet there was no bridge beyond the plaque...
Su Mo approached in silence and glanced at the Thunder Sect elder from earlier without saying anything.
It seemed the Thunder Sect elder's scheming was nothing of consequence to him.
Seeing that Su Mo had actually made it across as well, the Thunder Sect elder's eyes flickered, and he grew even more wary of this white-robed, white-haired man.
The brocade-robed man beside the Thunder Sect elder was immediately somewhat astonished to see Su Mo approach, but the expression merely flickered across his face before he concealed it.
Meanwhile, those who had seen the Thunder Sect elder play that trick on Su Mo back on the duckweed wore varying expressions at the sight of him.
When Su Mo reached this place, he simply walked quietly to one side, neither doing anything nor speaking.
He did not know what these people were waiting for, nor was he interested in any of this.
So he waited quietly...
Seeing that Su Mo neither spoke nor sought trouble with him, a trace of suspicion flashed through the Thunder Sect elder's eyes.
