Dao of Illusion
Xue Bai didn't know what the hell happened between Xiao Xuan and Ji Ruxi, but back on his side, he finally completed the Spiritual Qi Gathering Formation's rune.
He didn't shout as excitedly as Ji Ruxi, but instead, he simply let the rune in his hands float away. There was a tugging feeling on the rune that was slightly pulling it away from him, and since Xue Bai knew that the ghostly emperor had something to do with it, he let it happen.
Being stubborn and keeping the rune on his person wouldn't do anything good for him and could possibly destroy his chances in this secret realm.
It was a simple choice for him to make.
The rune he let go flew over to the jade slip he left on the ground, and after phasing into it, the both of them disappeared like they were never there.
Feeling content with his work, Xue Bai skidded over slightly and let his back rest on the wall behind him.
