The elderly man with golden hair nodded and said:
"Alright, if I obtain the supreme treasure at that time, I should show you mercy, given our many years of friendship."
The hook-nosed man laughed and said:
"Me too."
Then, the two exuded an overwhelming aura, transforming into two beams of golden light, piercing through clouds and mist, delving deep within. In the palm of the hook-nosed man's hand appeared a golden, compass-shaped Wizard Tool, guiding the direction in the mist. He glanced to the side, seeing the elderly man transform into a giant golden ape.
It stood thirty thousand zhang tall, its golden hair bristling like steel needles, shooting out in all directions to probe the surroundings. Even for level 9 experts, Perception was infinitely weakened within the mist.
Time quickly passed and it was now two years later.
The elderly man with golden hair and the hook-nosed man were reclusive experts within the Pan-Plane, confident they could go anywhere below level 10.
