Chapter 4450: 5.0202 They Came with the Wind

Just a few steps later, a massive tremor suddenly erupted from deep underground.

The sound was incredibly close, as if exploding beneath their feet. The tremendous impact caused everyone's expressions to falter slightly.

The mercenaries and rogue cultivators on the beach all became vigilant, unsheathing their swords and blades from their Sea of Consciousness.

"Boom!" Another massive tremor came from beneath their feet. Haoguang, the old man, widened his dog-like eyes, staring blankly into the distance.

A perfectly normal patch of ground had been torn open by something, and thick smoke billowed out, making people cough and retreat several steps.

Could some giant beast be crawling out from under this pit?

Everyone's expressions were grim and solemn, their grip on their swords and blades tightening for no apparent reason.

"Senior," An Yang couldn't help but call out, "Is there another guardian beast here?"

Senior Haoguang stared blankly for a moment, racking his brain to think.

Inside the earthen pit not far away, smoke continued to billow, but nothing was crawling out.

The old man quickly shook his head. "I've never heard of such a thing."

No, that's wrong. In all his years of living here, he had never encountered any giant beasts.

"There are giant beasts in the Tianji Secret Realm, but I didn't release them."

He wasn't that despicable, was he?

If all the big guys from the secret realm were truly released...

The old man couldn't help but shiver. He wouldn't have had such peaceful days if that were the case.

Everyone thought the same; if the senior had released something, he would have surely informed their Second-Generation Sect Leader beforehand.

After all, in the senior's heart, the Second-Generation Sect Leader was the most important.

In the old man's eyes, even a single strand of hair from the Xuanji Sect's Second-Generation Sect Leader was more precious than them...

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

As everyone whispered and questioned each other, several more tremors rumbled, making them sway and almost fall over.

Qiao Mu glanced towards the large earthen pit.

A familiar figure suddenly leaped out of the large hole, spitting twice, and wiped the dust from their face.

Immediately after, another person emerged, their sleeves fluttering as they swept away the thick smoke.

Both were clad in dark robes, handsome and graceful like bamboo or jade trees. However, their outer robes were now stained with dust, and a strong scent of smoke and fire clung to them, making their appearance somewhat comical.

Before everyone could react, the two walked towards them as if carried by the wind, one behind the other.

Upon seeing the expressionless Grand Master Qiao Qiao, their steps quickened, and they floated over to the little Crown Princess in a flash.

"Qiao Qiao!"

"Qiao Qiao, what a coincidence!"

The Crown Princess's small, rigid poker face revealed no discernible emotions.

An Wushuang, however, widened her eyes and couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Oh my god, Big Brother! What happened to you, Big Brother? How did you crawl out of that pit? Hahahaha, look at you, so disheveled! Eh? Could it be that Senior was right, and you two fell into those Thousand Caves and Ten Thousand Holes?"

"Scram." Mo Lian gave the troublemaker Princess Wushuang a speechless glare, then shot Fu San a warning look.

Young Master Fu San: ...

What did I do? You can't control your own sister's mouth, so you glare at me?

"Ahahaha." Princess Wushuang, showing no restraint, continued to laugh at her brother.
