A faint chuckle from Xu Yunfan seemed to echo from the void in response. "You flatter me, Senior Sister. The feeling is mutual."

Xu Yunfan sat cross-legged upon the Purple Gold Thunder Pattern Cloud Platform, faint arcs of electricity coiling around his fingertips. His gaze was as deep as an abyss.
The intelligence on the Cangwu Realm, revealed by True Monarch Dong Ming, had sparked a great many ideas in his mind.
"The timing is rather opportune..."
He muttered under his breath as his Divine Thought swept over a cave-dwelling in the Outer Realm of Divine Sky Mountain.
There, Chu Chengnan was like a dormant boulder, his aura dense and heavy, yet unable to conceal the scent of decay that had seeped into his very bones.
