Gu Sheng sprinted furiously, not daring to pause for a moment. It wasn't until he crossed a simple yet luminous ancient gate, like some kind of boundary, that he suddenly felt the relentless pursuit behind him, vanishing abruptly!
He halted, swiftly turning back, and vigilantly gazed towards the outside of the gate.
All he saw were the densely packed, wave-like black shadows, all halted outside that gate. Their blurred faces seemed to be "staring" at the inside of the gate at Gu Sheng, but none dared to cross that threshold, as if there existed some rule or taboo they couldn't breach.
Confirming his temporary safety, Gu Sheng finally let out a long sigh of relief, finally having leisure to carefully observe and think about what on earth he had encountered just now.
Standing inside the gate, he sharply scrutinized those black shadows outside, which had come to a stop.
This time, he looked more closely.
