Within Chaos.
Where Zixiao Palace stood.
Hongjun had returned.
The instant he sensed Luohu, Hongjun was clearly furious.
Coupled with the God-Slaying Spear's sudden self-destruction, even Hongjun himself had failed to react in time.
As a result, the God-Slaying Spear's self-destruction had left him slightly injured.
Though the injuries were not serious, they undoubtedly made him even angrier.
Without question, this amounted to a declaration of war against Hongjun himself.
He had always believed Luohu was still alive, but that had only been speculation. Now, he had truly sensed him.
Luohu really was still alive.
Since that was the case, he undoubtedly had to act.
But...
Hongjun narrowed his eyes.
That day, the God-Slaying Spear had appeared from the direction of Golden Ao Island.
This meant someone had known of Luohu's existence long ago.
They had deliberately revealed it to him.
Most likely, it was the person behind the Interception Sect.
Hongjun had considered the possibility that the person standing behind the Interception Sect was Luohu himself.
But now, that did not seem to be the case.
There was a vast difference between the two possibilities. There should be another mighty figure behind all this.
And that mighty figure had single-handedly orchestrated everything.
They had exposed Luohu to his gaze.
Without question, this was a trap.
But even knowing it was a trap, he had no choice but to step into it.
Even with full knowledge of the trap, he would still enter.
The reason was simple.
Because it was Luohu.
Luohu was his sworn nemesis. Hongjun could not possibly ignore him.
Even if there were more important matters, he could not leave this alone.
So this... amounted to an open stratagem.
Even knowing it was a trap, Hongjun still had to enter.
Because he had no other choice.
