As disappointment lingered due to Li Xiongshan's failure, a corpulent figure was seen sprinting towards the mountain summit.
"Oh, it's that darn fatty again."
"With the fatty here, Fang Xiu must be around too. They just killed Senior Brother Xu Mao, and now they're after the Taiyi Essence Gold."
"How can the fatty be so confident? Even Senior Li couldn't manage it; he's just a joke and will probably get knocked out by the Taiyi Essence Gold's energy."
Several individuals, previously scared away by Fang Xiu and Bai Zhan, shook at the sight of Bai Zhan's return.
Even Bai Zhan himself was nervous; witnessing two groups being repelled consecutively did not boost his confidence.
However, once committed, under the watchful eyes and tense atmosphere, Bai Zhan, being of the White Tiger lineage, couldn't afford to back down now.
He gritted his teeth and decided to go for it.
