Chapter 2290 - Entering the Back Mountain’s Forbidden Ground
Heaven and earth were silent and still.
Everyone’s heart shook. A long time passed, but they couldn’t come back to their senses.

No one could have imagined that Vice Palace Master Xiao Jian would choose that moment to return, much less that he’d single-handedly turn the situation on its head!
This was far too unexpected.
Especially since he’d defeated Yan Shuiming in a single attack. Never mind the disciples, even the old-timers were dumbstruck. Their minds went blank.
Even Grand Elder Wei Zhong, a Master God, had lost to Yan Shuiming.
