Chapter 995: Farewell, Take Care
"There wasn't much to that crisis back then. Shi Kongyu's powers were almost completely suppressed in the Scalptia Spatial Domain, and his main objective was just to foil Fellow Daoist Shi's breakthrough, so he immediately left after that goal was accomplished.
“As for external assistance, this place is completely isolated from the Holy Realm, and anyone who tried to help us would be pitting themselves against Shi Kongyu, so no one was willing or able to provide us with any external assistance," the white Daoist Xie explained.
"I see," Han Li replied with a contemplative nod.
"I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll be taking my leave now, Fellow Daoist Han," the white Daoist Xie said, then turned to depart, while Han Li watched its departing figure with slightly furrowed brows.
It was unclear whether Daoist Xie and the two corpse soul puppets were aware of exactly what had happened back, and judging from White Spirit's response, even if it did know, it wasn't going to reveal this information lightly, so he most likely wasn't going to get anything out of Daoist Xie, either.
If he wanted to uncover the truth, then he would just have to look into the matter from elsewhere.
After setting that train of thought aside, Han Li made his way to the main palace, where there were already close to thirty people present.
In addition to Daoist Xie, there were also the likes of Violet Spirit, Sha Xin, Mistress Liu Hua, Shi Chuankong, Zhuo Fa, and Xuanyuan Xing, and even Zhu Ziyuan and Zhu Ziqing were also present.
A white stone platform had been set up on one side of the palace, and on top of the platform was a circular array that was several dozen feet in size, giving off a white and golden glow.
Bursts of formidable spatial power fluctuations were emanating from the array, forming a spatial vortex that was several dozen feet in size and causing the space above it to ripple like water.
"Welcome, Fellow Daoist Han," Daoist Xie greeted as he rose to his feet, and everyone else stood up to greet him as well.
