Chapter 1102: Chapter 738: Darkness and Light Restored

Before the person arrives, the sound precedes him, like a dragon’s chant and a tiger’s roar.

"Thousand peaks track snow, claw marks deep, alone at a perilous cliff testing iron scales. Under the moon swallowing the clouds, refining courage, in the thunder forging bones, shedding the mundane. The bloody wind hasn’t changed the mountain’s resolve, the transformative fire illuminates the heart of a loyal son. Suddenly a loud roar shatters the sea of clouds, only then realizing the sky abyss has a pathway!"

The poem’s rhyme resonates powerfully, with heroic spirit reaching the clouds, conveying the struggles and triumphs of the arduous journey of seeking the Dao, ultimately achieving a breakthrough with exhilarating satisfaction.

The recitation falls, and a large figure appears before the crowd.

"So it’s him!"

Shen Xuan suddenly understands.

Though he has never personally seen this person, the imposing aura is quite familiar to him.

It was during his stay at the Bright Flame Sect, the original owner of the cave mansion, Hu Xiao True Master.

No!

The overwhelming power that stirs the spiritual mechanism of heaven and earth clearly shows it is True Monarch Tiger Roar!

"Greetings, True Monarch!"

In the dense illusion array of the forest, over a hundred cultivators bow in unison.

"Please rise, everyone."

True Monarch Tiger Roar speaks indifferently.

Yet his gaze falls on the spot where Shen Xuan conceals himself.

"This fellow daoist, you’ve been observing for quite some time. Why not show yourself?"

These words cause everyone present to be shocked greatly.

They are secretly gathering here, setting up a Tier Three illusion array outside the forest, confident of nothing going wrong.

Yet an outsider has silently infiltrated their side.

More than ten Core Formation cultivators did not sense it.

In the void, gentle ripples spread, and Shen Xuan’s figure slowly emerges.

With a composed expression, he smiles faintly at True Monarch Tiger Roar, cupping his hands and saying, "Profound Ice of Cyan Cloud Sect from Song Country greets Fellow Daoist Hu Xiao."

"True Master Profound Ice?"

"It’s actually him!"

A clap of thunder strikes the ground!

In the crowd, multiple exclamations arise.

Liu Yiyun’s mouth slightly opens, stunned for a while, and she calls out in a trembling voice, "Master?"

"Yes."

Shen Xuan nods slightly to her, then releases the aura of the Tai Chi Primordial Golden Core.

His gaze steadily meets that of True Monarch Tiger Roar.

The pressure of the Nascent Soul True Monarch lingers on Shen Xuan for a good while.

With scrutiny, with a hint of surprise.

Ultimately, True Monarch Tiger Roar retracts the pressure.

"So it is Fellow Daoist Profound Ice in person."

True Monarch Tiger Roar speaks in a lukewarm tone.

The downfall of the Bright Flame Sect is closely tied to the person in front of him.

Regardless of right or wrong, as a Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Bright Flame Sect, refraining from drawing the blade here already shows considerable politeness.

"Profound Ice happened upon this place, seeing many old acquaintances gathered, out of curiosity, thus entered the array for a look."

Shen Xuan maintains his composed demeanor and says frankly, "Now that True Monarch has arrived, ensuring everyone’s safety, Profound Ice shall not disturb further and take his leave."

"Hold on!"

True Monarch Tiger Roar’s face suddenly darkens, his voice like thunder.

"Famed for Fellow Daoist Profound Ice’s marvelous Daoist technique, dare to compete with me for a round?"

The atmosphere in the field instantly freezes.

True Master Ming Liu, True Master Wang Yue, and others slightly move their lips, seemingly wanting to speak to mediate.

Yet intimidated by True Monarch Tiger Roar’s imposing aura, the words are swallowed back before they reach their mouths.

Shen Xuan pauses his step, looks up, his voice steady, "Fellow Daoist Hu Xiao, how shall we compete?"

A newly ascended Nascent Soul True Master, that’s all.

With Shen Xuan’s current combat strength, no need to be tense.

"Very simple."

True Monarch Tiger Roar gazes toward the direction of Bright Flame Sect in the distance, a hint of severity in his eyes.

"I hear Fellow Daoist Profound Ice possesses great divine power, dare to accompany me to Bright Flame Sect once? Presently, stationed there are the Cyan-Horned Flood Dragon Emperor and Dark Moon Wolf Emperor. You and I, shall we challenge them together?"

True Monarch Tiger Roar takes out a jade box shrouded in chilling mist.

The lid slightly opens, revealing an exquisite, jade-like mystical flower, emitting a dense water-based vitality and Dao Rhyme of creation.

"This is the Millennium Creation Jade Dew Flower, a superior Water Attribute Nascent Soul Formation Spiritual Object. I offer it as a token for Fellow Daoist Profound Ice to keep."

This item is indeed precious, enough to make ordinary Golden Core cultivators covet desperately.

However, Shen Xuan has a broad perspective.

With his wealth, he can exchange several Nascent Soul Pills, why risk for a single Nascent Soul Formation Spiritual Object.

"Fellow Daoist Hu Xiao, what a calculation."

Shen Xuan gently shakes his head, "Regrettably, Profound Ice has urgent matters, cannot linger long, forgive not accompanying."

"Afraid?"

True Monarch Tiger Roar raises his brows, "Fellow Daoist Profound Ice, are you afraid of those two demon emperors?"
