Ximen Chuihuo was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected to find something like this here.
But the All-Things Cut in the stone statue's hand was resonating with the one he held, making him hesitate.
He didn't know what would happen if he got closer, and he still had to find the Spirit Beast.
A part of Ximen Chuihuo wanted to leave, but his feet felt rooted to the spot.
All-Things Cut had been left behind by an ancestor of the Spiritual Control Sect. According to Po Xiao, the thing was a Dao Artifact.
Now that it was suddenly resonating, it was highly likely related to that very ancestor of the Spiritual Control Sect.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he passed it up, he might regret it forever.
'So, what's more important? Avoiding a three-month-long beating, or getting a glimpse of my ancestor's secrets?'
'Is that even a choice?'
Without a moment's hesitation, Ximen Chuihuo approached the statue and placed his All-Things Cut next to the one in its hand.
