Han Song let out a long sigh.
"Gather up our brothers' remains..."
Yu Shilong's expression was very grave, yet held a trace of relief.
The Phoenix Vein Soul Impact had finally succeeded.
Now, Zuo Xiaonian had successfully broken through. Once her Star Yuan Qi had fully stabilized, she would wake up.
Viewed another way, their side had sacrificed only this many people to wipe out the Witch Alliance's forces. All seven Cloud Transformation experts had died here, and the Three Sects of Kill Break Wolf had been annihilated...
This could absolutely be called a glorious victory!
Only... as long as there were sacrifices, even the greatest victory carried that shadow of sorrow, preventing anyone from rejoicing wholeheartedly.
The Phoenix Vein Soul Impact was over.
High in the sky.
A figure quietly breathed a sigh of relief, then vanished in a flash.
In the still higher, more distant sky...
Two overwhelmingly powerful auras stood in confrontation. At the very moment the Phoenix Vein Soul Impact succeeded...
One of those mysterious auras wavered slightly. Then it quietly retreated, withdrawing a full three thousand li. The space it left behind was immediately occupied by the other aura.
"You lost this round."
"Don't get smug. In the Central Plains round, you may not win."
"You will lose again."
"You are the Star Soul Will and hold the advantage of home ground. I, the Witch Soul Will, came across the boundary between worlds. It is only natural that you have the upper hand."
"You and I were originally one. Why must we insist on deciding a winner?"
"Enough talk!"
"We shall see in the Central Plains!"
"We shall see in the Central Plains!"
"No interfering!"
"Naturally. Let each rely on their own fortune."
North of Phoenix City, at Phoenix Looking Back!
Midnight.
