Chapter 605: Tang Shedu
He wore a serene expression, as if admiring the scenery within the clouds. Decades of torment and cultivation had completely severed the connection between his inner emotions and his outward expressions. Standing with his hands clasped behind his back, he gazed at the small mountain peak gradually emerging in the distance.
Smiling, he glanced at Tang Shedu and spoke softly, "Senior Brother, why not descend and take a look?"
On the mountain peak, two figures stood locked in confrontation. One of them wielded a pair of large copper bowls, unleashing arcs of lightning and flickering purple light, his expression ferocious. His attire was unfamiliar, suggesting a lineage not commonly seen.
The other figure held twin blades, his body exuding a black and red mist-like flame. His expression was equally tense, with anger barely restrained, as he spoke in a cold tone, "Miao Ye… you truly are out to make life difficult for me, are you not?"
Miao Ye clutched the two copper bowls tightly, his face fierce. Between them, resting on the peak, was a long halberd of deep golden hue. Its shaft curved like a crescent moon, towering taller than an average person, standing silently on the mountain.
"There is no one else here, and the closing of the grotto heaven is near. Why not settle this with a proper fight?" Miao Ye suggested.
Overlooking the scene from the clouds, Yu Muxian appeared relaxed, while Tang Shedu cradled his own halberd, his demeanor indifferent. Yet his gaze lingered on the golden halberd below, betraying a glimmer of interest. He murmured, "That is Situ Chen… the current heir of the Situ Family. After so many years of turmoil in the Golden Tang Gate, how many heirs have died? At last, there is one who is capable."
Yu Muxian's eyes glowed faintly white as he activated his perception technique to examine the artifact on the peak. His own Immortal Foundation circulated within him, its power now even more extraordinary as he had advanced to the late Foundation Establishment Realm. Immediately, he gleaned details about the artifact.
"It is indeed an ancient Foundation Establishment Realm artifact," Yu Muxian said softly. "Likely belonging to some general of the Wei State from long ago. It carries the essence of the Bright Yang. The Wei State always loved crafting halberds and spears as symbols of their valor."
