David wanted to ask the Seventh Palace Master, but the Seventh Palace Master probably didn’t know, and it was not easy for too many people to know that he had a token, so David didn’t speak!
“What did the Evil Path Hall send you?” Hu Mazi asked in a deep voice.
“You Wuxie Great Elder of the Evil Path Hall personally led people into the Seventh Hall!” The Seventh Hall Master’s voice trembled. “He also stated that we must hand you over, or we will raze the entire Seventh Hall to the ground!”
The Seventh Palace Master took a deep breath, his eyes filled with despair. “Accompanying them are the Eight Grand Elders and Twelve Blood Guards! Even if all the sects of the Third Heaven joined forces, they might not be able to stop them!”
David rubbed the hilt of the Dragon Slayer Sword with his fingertips, his eyes calm and scary: “It seems they are really in a hurry.”
“David, why don’t you go first!” said Huo Jingjing hastily, “The Third Heaven’s Domain is very vast; if you hide, they might not be able to find you!”
The Seventh Palace Master quickly nodded in agreement: “David, as long as we are alive, we can always fight again! The Evil Path Palace is strong; there is no need for direct confrontation!”
“As long as you’re not here, the Evil Path Hall won’t be able to do anything to me. After all, I have the Temple of the Gods behind me, the entire Gods Race.”
David shook his head and looked northwest.
The sky there was covered in dark clouds, with faint flashes of lightning, and a bone-chilling cold pressure was rapidly approaching.
“We can’t leave now,” he said quietly. “Since You Wuxie dares to come alone, he must have set a trap, not to mention…”
He paused, a cold, final look flashing in his eyes: “I, David, never hand over my problems to others. They are looking for me, so I will wait for them here.”
Outside the Seven Palaces, the terrifying winds of the Black Wind Gorge grew fiercer, blowing away the sand and gravel that hit the bluestone tiles of the palace, producing a sharp “gurgling” sound, like the beat of a death drum.
Within the stone room, the Seventh Palace Master’s voice trembled uncontrollably. The communication jade scroll in his hand had shattered into powder, which fell from between his fingers.
Huo Jingjing held Mo Qingyun’s hands tightly, their knuckles white and their faces ashen. Only Hu Mazi tried to remain calm, but he couldn’t help looking out of the cave frequently, his Adam’s apple twitching.
David stood with his hands behind his back in front of the stone gate, his gaze penetrating the thick stone wall and looking up towards the black clouds swirling on the horizon.
The spiritual energy around him was like a lurking beast, appearing calm, but actually ready to be released.
The Dragon Slayer Sword hummed softly in the sheath, as if sensing the bloody battle that was about to occur, the blade emitted a faint golden light.
