After Chen Sheng transformed into a golden Escape Light and disappeared into the horizon for a long time, a faint moan came from the ruins of the White Bone Mountain Market.
A cultivator at the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer, covered in blood, slowly crawled out from under a corpse—his left arm was cut by Sword Qi, the coarse Daoist robe was soaked in blood, and his face was stained with dirt and bloodstains, with eyes full of lingering fear.
He cautiously observed the surroundings, and only after confirming there were no more Sword Qi fluctuations did he dare to softly call into the depths of the ruins:
"Is anyone still alive?"
A few moments later, several battered figures crawled out one by one—some had broken legs, struggling to stand with broken White Bones.
Some had internal organs shaken by Sword Qi, coughing up blood with every step, while others were curled up behind the ruins of a shop, holding their heads in trembling fear.
