"Haha, you two came so quickly? I thought you'd persist a bit longer," a cultivator at the fourth level of the Xuan Dan realm immediately recognized Jia Lingwei and Changsun Yan, laughing heartily as he spoke. His position was beside the first bluestone gate at the entrance to the gorge.
Hearing these words, Jia Lingwei's heart sunk completely as she finally understood why these people had taken away their cultivation resources before letting them go. It turned out that they had known all along that they would come back.
"Haha, good, good..." The fourth-level Xuan Dan cultivator continued to laugh loudly, repeating "good" several times before saying, "Come over to my side, and I guarantee I'll let you pass without demanding any spiritual stones—I bet you don't have any left."
"He Zhijiang, since you've taken the big one, leave the small one for us," someone at another bluestone gate chimed in.
