59 Breaking Through Foundation Establishment
The two observed for a while longer.
They confirmed that there were no remaining Blood Bat Palace remnants in the area.
Chen Zhengdao said, “Let’s go, we should continue to monitor the Three-Star Soul Master and that world-class prodigy from the Dragon-Rising Path.”
He rode the Blue Eagle, preparing to turn back.
Suddenly, the jade pendant at his waist flashed urgently and emitted a buzzing sound.
“An emergency message from the Pavilion Master?” Chen Zhengdao’s expression changed slightly.
The Pavilion Master wouldn’t send an emergency message unless it was something major.
He hastily removed the jade pendant and crushed it between his fingers.
The resonating buzz condensed into a short message.
“Beast tide has suddenly appeared, return immediately!”
Chen Zhengdao’s face changed drastically: “Beast tide? Hiss! After a hundred years, is it about to appear again?”
He dared not hesitate and said, “I must return to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion immediately.”
“I cannot continue to monitor that Soul Master.”
“And you, I believe the Green Cloud Sect will soon summon you back as well.”
Liu Qingxian’s gaze turned grave.
A beast tide was an apocalyptic disaster that no force could remain unaffected by.
She nodded and said, “Uncle Chen, you go back first. I… I’ll go find that Nine-grade Spiritual Root and return as well.”
She had already lost hope in waiting for that world-class prodigy from the Dragon-Rising Path.
She had no choice but to find the one with the Nine-grade Spiritual Root instead.
She had met the person once, and she would definitely recognize them upon meeting again.
Chen Zhengdao nodded, took her back to Lonely Boat City, and then flew away on a cloud.
The strong individuals of Lonely Boat City returned to the city in high spirits.
That evening, City Lord Ye Jifeng announced that the entire Blood Bat Palace sub-altar had been exterminated!
And he held a grand banquet.
The old monsters who had broken through and emerged to welcome Lu Zheng, this Nine-grade Spiritual Root prodigy, couldn’t help but come out again.
They attended the banquet in person.
Their purpose was naturally not for food and drink.
They were curious about the young prodigy who, with his own strength, had killed the sub-altar master!
At the banquet.
Xu Yining, who had woken up, looked at the No.1 Shadow Guard beside her, being respectfully toasted by the city’s strong practitioners, and felt a moment of bewilderment.
They were people of the same age.
Why was there such a vast difference between them?
She had thought that breaking through Foundation Establishment would allow her to compete with him.
But in the end, she was rescued once more.
Before she was knocked unconscious by the sub-altar master, she had seen the figure of the No.1 Shadow Guard rushing towards her.
If he hadn’t acted in time, she would have most likely fallen on the steps and died from the impact.
Looking at the mask in front of her, she was extremely curious about the face behind it.
When did Lonely Boat City have such a prodigy that she could only look up to?
Unfortunately, she would never have the chance to know.
Because the original purpose of the Shadow Guard Team was to eradicate the remnants of the Blood Bat Palace.
Now that the remnants had been cleared.
After the banquet, the Shadow Guard Team would disband.
Feeling a sense of melancholy, she raised her wine glass and said, “Will we meet again?”
Jiang Fan slightly curled the corner of his mouth.
Weren’t we meeting every day?
“Fate shall decide,” he replied indifferently.
Xu Yining felt even more dispirited, raised her glass and said, “Well, I hope we can continue to cooperate if we are fated to. To you.”
Jiang Fan drank it all in one go.
The Shadow Guard Team disbanded silently after the banquet as expected.
