Chapter 455: What Needs to be Faced, Eventually Comes

"I can't wait any longer!"

Feeling as if he was dancing on the edge of a knife, Su Ran realized that one wrong step could cost him everything. Balancing his options carefully, he reluctantly abandoned the mysterious mud coffin. With the Illusion Demon's black cloak on his body and other gear equipped correctly, Su Ran firmly grasped the teleportation circle. All of a sudden, he flopped onto the gleaming portal and in a flash, he disappeared into the hidden space.

"Thud!"

In the Imperial City's royal palace, the residence of Daoist Wang, a disheveled figure appeared, falling ungracefully face-first.

"I'm finally back alive!"

Getting up from the ground, Su Ran could finally breathe easier. He looked around but found no sign of Daoist Wang. A sense of relief washed over him – at least he was saved from extended explanations.

Without any hesitation, Su Ran crushed the Town Portal Scroll he held. A burst of light flashed, and he was now in his territories, the Skeleton Village.
