Dark Surge (Final Chapter of Volume)

A number of experts in the Three Realms had paid attention to the situation. On the clouds nearby, Old Mother of Blackfoal Mountain, Guangchengzi, Yang Jian, and Qin Yun had similarly seen all that had happened.

"The Nails On The Head, Seven Swords is known as the most powerful hex in the Three Realms," said a baffled Old Mother of Blackfoal Mountain. "However, according to what I know, it requires twenty-one days of rites to deliver its maximum potential. By scheming against Hou Yi today, Lu Ya must have already begun the rites twenty-one days ago. Was he already aware that Hou Yi would burn his Dharmic powers to deal with Zhurong twenty-one days ago?"

Guangchengzi nodded as well. "There are many oddities about the opening of Mt. Three Blades. Perhaps it was Lu Ya who opened it."

"It was him."
