Before the words had even faded, the cloaked figure's form drifted backward like a ghost, silently melting into the deep shadows as if they had never been there.
Only when that suffocating presence completely vanished did Xie Songnian abruptly relax.
He was already at the Fifth Layer of the True Master Realm, considered a significant figure in all of Cangzhou Prefecture.

"Sixth Layer of the True Master Realm..." he muttered to himself.
That cloaked figure's strength... was greater than his!
One could probably count on one hand the number of such experts in all of Cangzhou Prefecture!
'The Shadow Prison Sect... the Sinful Desire Sect... the Supreme Secret Treasure... The waters here run far too deep...'
A sense of panic suddenly arose in Xie Songnian's heart—a feeling that events were spiraling out of control.
But he was already in too deep; there was no turning back now!
