Wang Anfeng didn't keep the remaining people waiting long; almost as soon as Yuchi Jie looked back, he had already emerged from the Eight Gates Sword Formation, appearing as if he had only been a step slower, thus emerging later.
Yuchi Jie breathed a deep sigh of relief, took a few steps toward Wang Anfeng, and walked alongside him. It was only after a moment that the eerie atmosphere slowly faded, giving Yuchi Jie a faint sense that Wang Anfeng seemed somewhat different, though he couldn't quite pinpoint what had changed.
After pondering for a long while without any conclusion, he simply pushed the thought out of his mind.
Gong Yu glanced at Wang Anfeng's back, her expression thoughtful.
Wang Anfeng smiled at her, hastened his pace, and caught up to walk shoulder to shoulder with Gong Yu. He was already prepared for her questions, but she didn't say anything, just quickened her steps and moved forward.
By their side, Lv Baiping muttered something about being slow.
