Haoyang Immortal City.
Xiao Ying's cave abode within the "Ten Thousand Woods Spiritual Land."
"Please hold your steps, Fellow Daoist Zhou. The matter I've entrusted to you, I'll leave in your care. I'll visit again another day."
Outside the cave abode, Zhouyang and his Dao companion Xiao Ying escorted a visiting Late-Stage Purple Mansion Cultivator out of the cave abode. As they watched the figure vanish into the distance, they exchanged a glance, each seeing a look of helplessness in the other's eyes.
Since Zhouyang returned to Haoyang Immortal City, he had rested for less than half a month when some well-informed Purple Mansion Stage cultivators residing in Jinyang Country of Haoyang Immortal City took the initiative to visit him.
Their intentions and excuses for visiting were varied.
Some came after hearing of Zhouyang's consecutive victories in three matches at the Death Arena, wishing to know and forge ties with him.
