Buzz!
The world before his eyes suddenly changed.
The earth turned a grayish yellow, while the flowers, grass, and trees along the way glowed in varying shades of yellow and green. The colors intertwined, spreading across the wilderness into the distance.
Chun Xiaobai kept his Treasure-Seeing Divine Eye active as he sprinted along.
He had not gone far when he suddenly spotted a beam of green light over three meters tall rising from the ground ahead. He took a closer look.
The man was hunched over, his head thrust forward, with a wrinkled, shoehorn-shaped face. His furtive figure was sneaking toward the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect.
Chun Xiaobai froze on the spot.
That face...
Why did it look exactly like that old bastard from last time?
"Holy crap, have I, the great king, been possessed?"
Chun Xiaobai rubbed his eyes and focused again.
No mistake.
It was the very old bastard who had saved him last time!
But hadn't that old fellow already been stabbed to death by that old hag's spear?
Had he sensed that the great king was in danger and crawled out of his grave just to come to the rescue?
"No, no."
Chun Xiaobai quickly shook his head.
Even in a cultivation world, things still had to follow a little science. How could someone who was dead as dead could be suddenly come back to life?
Was something wrong with his Treasure-Seeing Divine Eye?
He rubbed his eyes as he fled, quietly edging a little closer.
He looked again.
It really was that old bastard!
Chun Xiaobai had no time to ponder how the old fellow had come back to life. His eyes positively shone as he gazed at that familiar shoehorn face.
"It's fate!"
"And this old bastard has plenty of experience covering a retreat.
