Land of Ruin's Guardian

After taking a glance behind, Gu Simu seemed to be deep in thought, gathering a stream of true qi in his hand.

If what Gu Lan said was true, then the shadow he was seeing should also mimic his movements.

Gu Simu slowly raised his hand, and he saw the shadow do the same.

After several attempts, Gu Simu was sure that Gu Lan was right.

He didn't bother with it further and focused on retracting his aura.

"Father, what should we do next?" Gu Simu asked, looking expectantly at Gu Lan.

Seeing her eager expression, Gu Lan almost spoke but swallowed his words.

"Let's first find the Flame of Hell with your father," he said.

He instinctively wanted Gu Simu to leave this place, but he knew her character well. She wouldn't listen to him.

Leaving her alone here would only bring danger, and it was safer to go with her.

"Why wait then? Let's go quickly before we run into trouble," Gu Simu said, already eager, a smile of excitement spreading across her face.
