「At the same time.」
The group that had just sped past Chu Sheng and Gu Yuexi came to a sudden halt after traveling some distance. The veiled woman at their head reined in her horse.
A tall man behind her immediately rode forward and asked respectfully,
"Holy Daughter, what is it?"
The veiled woman, addressed as the "Holy Daughter," pulled a peculiar, palm-sized container from her robes. It was fashioned from some unknown beast's bone, and her expression grew solemn.
"Just now, the Hui Wang showed signs of waking on its own."
The man's face filled with disbelief upon hearing this.
"How is that possible? Isn't the Hui Wang always in deep hibernation? Unless... it encountered another top-tier Insect Beast Bloodline that piqued its interest."
He thought for a moment before continuing, "We did see an Insect Beast just now, but it seemed to be just an ordinary mosquito. Its Bloodline aura was impure, hardly the kind of existence that would attract the Hui Wang's attention."
