Gu Lan was quite puzzled. He looked at Gu Simu, who pointed to the distance.
"Those guys were just over there, but where are they now?" Gu Simu asked, clearly confused.
"Old man, didn't you tell me to go find them? Why have they run off now?"
A cold voice suddenly echoed, and a massive surge of true qi swept through from all directions. Sensing the power, Gu Lan's expression darkened, and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes. The Hongmeng Sword appeared in his hand with a sharp ringing sound.
"Since you're still here, why don't you come out!" Gu Lan called out, his tone frosty.
A white-robed elder slowly emerged from a crack in space, his face ice-cold and his eyes filled with killing intent. However, he didn't focus on Gu Lan but instead kept his gaze locked on Gu Simu.
"Girl, I'll spare your life. But you dare come here? Don't blame me for being merciless!" the old man sneered.
