"What did you say?" Dugu Shang asked, his voice trembling slightly.
Lin Hao's gaze was profound as he stared into the void, not answering Dugu Shang's question.
At that moment, Lin Hao's mind had drifted far away; he hadn't heard Dugu Shang's words at all.
Dugu Shang took a deep breath. He no longer planned to leave and instead strode toward Lin Hao.
In the void, Xiu Xiu's head poked slyly out of a fissure. Its large, round eyes darted between Lin Hao and Dugu Shang, its intentions unclear.
Xi Chenghua and the others acted as if they were facing a great enemy, blocking Lin Hao's path.
Dugu Shang stopped, advancing no further. His eyes, fixed on Lin Hao, were filled with confusion, shock, and disbelief.
A few dozen breaths later, Lin Hao came to his senses and was slightly surprised by the scene before him.
'Why hasn't this Dugu Shang left yet?'
"You know of the *Primordial Undying Scripture*?"
