He raised a brow—newcomers, as expected.
And this batch had intriguing identities.
Mind stirring, his thoughts sank into the Preaching Platform.
…
Spirit qi roiled, forming myriad shapes—roaring dragons, soaring phoenixes, each divine.
At the platform’s center, three figures condensed—blurred, faces unclear, but outlines visible.
Ximen Xianzhi bore a sword case with only two blades. As Sword Sect’s chief hero, his cultivation long surpassed the sect’s divisions, entering cultivator realms.
He scanned surroundings—sudden stranger land; surprise, curiosity.
Originally atop Zhongnan peak, snow-practicing sword; one slash—here.
