Unexpected Discovery

Gu Lan's expression darkened slightly, and cold light flickered in his eyes. He truly couldn't be certain what danger awaited him next. If he encountered a stronger opponent, he would have difficulty protecting himself, let alone taking care of Shadow.

"Master Gu, don't worry. I have the ability to protect myself!" Shadow spoke, trying to reassure him. While he couldn't handle major problems, he still had the ability to defend himself.

Gu Lan didn't respond, deciding that since Shadow was willing to follow, he might as well let him. Without further delay, Gu Lan transformed into a blur of motion and darted off.

He had noticed that, during the previous battle, those two strange creatures had been observing their surroundings attentively. While he wasn't sure what it meant, he decided to investigate further.

Gu Lan's speed was incredibly fast, to the point that even Shadow struggled to keep up. After a short while, Gu Lan stopped in the void.
