The path carved open by the Sword Qi was not, after all, eternal.
Mere hundreds of meters after Gu Yuexi and Chu Sheng charged through, the stasis field that had been forcibly torn open began to rapidly repair itself, completely resealing the path behind them.
But it was enough.
Seizing this brief reprieve, the human and the mosquito's Speed did not diminish in the slightest. Soon, they passed through the last patch of forest and arrived at the foot of the magnificent Divine Hall of Stagnation.
Three distinct groups had already gathered before the Divine Hall.
The first group to arrive, led by a veiled woman, stood on the left side of the jade stairs. Their expressions were wary as they discussed something amongst themselves.
Gu Yuexi and Chu Sheng, meanwhile, landed on the right.
At the very top of the one-hundred-and-eight steps, before the open gates of the Divine Hall, stood the silent figure of Qin Wudao.
He seemed to be waiting specifically for Gu Yuexi.
