The comfortable sensation in their bodies led the four to subconsciously stop in their tracks, and then, a familiar voice reached their ears.
"I'm back."
A figure appeared out of nowhere and lightly landed beside the four. Wasn't it Tang San?
Overjoyed, Wu Bingji and the others greeted his return, and Du Bai rushed to Tang San's side. "You're finally back. We were so worried. Are you alright?" As he spoke, he looked Tang San up and down.
Tang San seemed unchanged on the surface, but Du Bai, who possessed the Heavenly Fox Transformation, sensed something elusive emanating from him. To Du Bai's eyes, Tang San appeared to become somewhat ethereal, his demeanor gaining a transcendental quality.
