The return journey went smoothly. Along the way, Shi Hao met some familiar faces, such as Xuan Kun, Wang Xi, Princess Yao Yue, and some powerful cultivators from the two academies.
"He's back, and there's still time. Could it be that he obtained the Evil-warding Divine Bamboo from the Immortal Mound?" a genius from the Immortal Academy whispered, eyes shimmering.
Hearing this, the others all looked over, feeling quite uneasy. They had put in a lot of effort to break into the mountain gate and come here, yet the other party was about to leave easily.
"Martial brother, did you gain anything?" someone from the Holy Academy asked with a smile.
Shi Hao glanced at him and replied, "I gained a little."
"Could it be that you really found the Evil-warding Divine Bamboo?" Princess Yao Yue's eyes sparkled, originally as pure as an immortal, but now with a hint of charm.
