Fateful Encounter

Seth suddenly appeared in front of a bamboo house that was a bit far away from the area the twelve palaces were located and where one of the most powerful cultivators of the Glazed Lake lived. Before he could even approach to knock on the door, it opened, revealing the figure of an old woman. 

"Sigh... You're here... I was already expecting you would be coming, but for another motive. But seeing how anxious you are, I won't be asking you anything and open the formation for you. However, you have to promise me that you will be coming back." 

"I will." Seth firmly said. He didn't plan on losing his life so soon, since he had so many people that he wanted to spend time with yet. 

Seth's thoughts were in a complete disarray, so he didn't notice that the Lake Mother most probably knew the contents of his conversation with Palace Master Yushui.
