Xiao Mu's eyes narrowed as he fixed the gaunt man with an intense gaze.
The gaunt man had the face of a hawk; despite his frail build, he exuded an aura of strength. To Xiao's surprise, the man was a peak power at the Fourth Realm.
Stone Soul was extremely fear-stricken by this man. Under his fierce gaze, he instinctively pulled back, stammering, "Perfected Ying, you...you..."
Without warning, the gaunt man known as Perfected Ying lunged at Stone Soul. He grabbed Stone Soul and shouted, "Speak up! Where is my brother I've been howling for? Why have you returned and he has not?"
"Perfected Howl...he...he died in the Demon Secret Realm." Stone Soul replied hastily, his voice pleading and full of panic.
"What?"
Perfected Ying, taken aback, roared with fury, "How is it possible that you survived but my dear brother didn't? How did he die?"
