In fact, even if Zhu Gaoyang was to arrive, Pei Ye couldn't fathom what he could do.
Previously, despite successfully killing one, he narrowly escaped death when he fought three-on-one while in perfect condition. Now, grievously wounded, one less opponent but a beast added, how would he cope?
Pei Ye sighed inwardly and withdrew his gaze that was fixed at the horizon.
However, in the process of retracting his gaze, he noticed something unusual. He didn't spot Zhu Gaoyang, but instead noticed the posture of those two purple-robed individuals.
They seemed to be on high alert towards the valley's outskirts as well.
A sense of dread overwhelmed Pei Ye. Did they also anticipate Zhu Gaoyang's arrival?
The Zhushi Sect's long-planned "final weapon" was about to be conceived. Being vigilant was natural. Yet their specific concern was all too clear, as if they were fully aware that someone was about to disturb the process right here, right now.
