Wasting no time lingering around after having escaped from the illusory beasts, Xuan Hao made use of the momentary confusion of the illusory beasts to slip back into the cave where the entrance to the Sea of Mist was located before rushing straight into the Sea of Mist. Not even noticing the formation that was hiding the presence of the entrance.
Hm? Someone is here?
Only realizing something was wrong after entering the Sea of Mist, Xuan Hao could not help glancing towards the old man looking like a shriveled-up corpse sitting not too far away from the entrance to the Sea of Mist.
Someone similar to Chu Li? Whatever it is, I don't have time to waste…
Swish-!
Not caring too much about the appearance of the old man due to his current state looking like he would collapse if a gentle breeze passed through the Sea of Mist, Xuan Hao rushed past the old man and made his way through the wooden gate connecting the Sea of Mist and the Ephemeral Forest.
Happy New Year!
