Li Zhongnan and his companion immediately left the area.
The lackeys sent by Lu Xingkong encountered Li Zhongnan in the mountain passage, and the latter tersely said, "There's a Chaotic Divine Beast hidden in the cave below—leave now!"
There was no longer any point in keeping secrets; the ice crystals had already been collected. All that remained was the looming Chaotic Divine Beast, a creature nearly impossible to deal with. It was best to attract attention to it and let the masters of Ghostly Bamboo Land handle it.
The lackeys promptly followed Li Zhongnan, fleeing the mountain cave frantically. Not long after their escape, streaks of light shot across the sky, and a man whose complexion was as pristine as jade appeared in front of the group. He was tall, imposing, and radiated an aura of authority.
Standing before him felt suffocating, as though being weighed down by an invisible force.
