After Xie Xuanyi departed, the Dao Furnace Hall returned to its desolate state.
The divine radiance was still erupting forcefully.
Three Grotto Heavens, dead here, their blood dyed the floor of the hall red.
Dao Jiu was alone, floating in the middle of the hall, looking somewhat resentfully at the Starfire portal...
Dao Jiu did not doubt Xie Zhen's promise.
However, he now regretted opening the door so readily, allowing Xie Zhen to proceed to the Seeking Tao Domain.
"Tap. Tap. Tap."
The Secret Tomb's array patterns were activated, but Dao Jiu heard footsteps in the distance.
The sound was very light.
Yet each step seemed to fall upon one's Heart Lake.
Dao Jiu frowned as he looked toward the very front of the hall.
A figure with white hair and a white robe slowly emerged from the darkness.
The sound of footsteps stopped there.
The white-haired figure, standing in a pool of blood, gazed at the hall, the Dao Furnace, and Dao Jiu from afar.
Time seemed to freeze.
