The cold wind on the Tundra was biting.
Underneath the Heavenly Sheath stood a figure. To be precise... two figures.
Bai Xiu stood before the massive Stone Sword, alone, silently admiring the Divine Miracle before him, while a slumbering Tomb Ghost lay curled up at his feet.
"Sorry to keep you waiting!"
Amidst the thick fog, a figure hurriedly emerged.
Gu Shen wore an apologetic smile on his face: "I encountered some things on the road... which delayed me a bit."
He wasn't lying to Gu Nanfeng. The prior encounter was indeed quite fortuitous.
On this trip, he had initially planned to meet Bai Xiu under the Heavenly Sheath.
But while passing by, he "heard" some voices, so he decided to pause temporarily.
Even though he had detached the Netherworld Fire from his Heart Sea.
His "Blazing Fire" could still envelop thousands of miles, hearing all voices, and in this regard... Gu Shen was almost indistinguishable from the Divine Throne, perhaps even stronger.
