The commotion stirred up by the brothers Ao Bing and Ao Hong had drawn the attention of Wang Ping and Zi Luan. Though they didn't know the specifics of what had transpired, they were relieved to see that, in an instant, only their own party remained.
Zi Luan, standing beside him, looked as if he was about to speak, but he was cut off by a stir from Xiao Shan Lord's direction. Both men immediately looked over. On the other side, Xiu Yu had been staring intently at Xiao Shan Lord the entire time.
At that moment, through the barrier Min You had erected, Wang Ping sensed the Wood Spirit materialize beside Xiao Shan Lord. The sensation stirred the Spirit Vein Consciousness within him, making it show signs of awakening. He subconsciously wanted to observe the Wood Spirit with his Primordial Spirit. The thought, once born, grew ever more intense—a greed and desire emanating from the Spirit Vein inside him.
