The valley crumbled apart, ghostly entities surged forth, and fierce winds swept through the layered peaks and ridges, visible even from a great distance.
Scattered lightning, splintered rocks flying in all directions—a chaotic scene unfolded, as flashes of light in the valley flickered on and off. Regardless of the faction, everyone was locked in combat and slaughter.
The Daoist of Yin Mountain rode the winds and landed outside the valley, glancing at the divination symbols in his palm. His expression grew murky and unreadable.
Du Wei intended to perform a blood ritual to summon chaos; the Daoist was present at that time and naturally knew of it.
Moreover, in an effort to win his favor, Du Wei had temporarily lent him the Mother-and-Child Soul-Locking Chain.
Therefore,
he fled.
After obtaining the Mother-and-Child Soul-Locking Chain, the Daoist of Yin Mountain solemnly swore to act as Du Wei's protector, but immediately persuaded Master Jin Quan to join him in fleeing.
