No More Pretending-I'm the Undercover Agent

The wind howled through the sky.

Lu Ren flew toward Autumn Water Lake at breakneck speed.

"Qingyan, you won't vanish like a wisp of smoke. Wait for me!"

His eyes were bloodshot and cold, brimming with murderous intent sharp enough to pierce the heavens.

Only one day remained!

Lu Ren held nothing back. He activated the Great Tomb Devouring Heaven Art, summoned the Purgatory Wings, and streaked across the sky like a phantom, racing onward with all his strength.

A Martial Emperor had built Autumn Water Plaza for secluded cultivation. After that Martial Emperor fell, warriors often made the journey there.

That was how Autumn Water Plaza had made its name.

At the center of a vast blue lake, a giant plaza floated like an island.

Several palaces stood on the plaza, surrounded by more than a dozen enormous stone tablets.

On the roof of one palace sat an iron cage. Inside it was a woman barely clinging to life.

Around her stood warriors in ghost-faced masks. Every one of them was at the peak of the ninth level of the Origin Venerate Realm. They were all King of Hell Guards.
