Chapter 507: Vanishing into Heaven
"Such a joyous occasion calls for a celebration!" Han Guxi clapped his hands and laughed heartily.
"Senior Brother Han is quite right," Jiang Lishan said, but then waved a hand. "However, Chen Qing has only just broken through, and his Golden Core has only just condensed. What he needs most right now is to stabilize his realm. The celebration can wait. There is no hurry. We can discuss it once his condition has fully settled."
Chen Qing gave a nod. "The Sect Master is correct. This disciple has only just broken through, and the Golden Core still needs to be nurtured. My aura has not yet fully rounded out and smoothed over. A period of consolidation is indeed necessary."
He paused, and let his gaze sweep across the figures in the air. "Why is it that Master Hua has not come?"
As those words fell, the atmosphere in the air paused with a subtle, barely perceptible stillness.
The downpour continued without relenting, and occasional lightning tore through the sky, illuminating the varied expressions on everyone's faces.
The smile on Han Guxi's face faded somewhat. He considered for a moment, then said, "Senior Brother Hua left the sect a few days ago. He said he was heading south to visit an old friend and pick up some things along the way."
He kept it vague, but everyone present understood perfectly.
Heading south to visit an old friend?
