บท 651: The Disappearing Xuan and the Scattering (2)

Compared to the newcomers and Imhotep, Heng and Zheng were very familiar with Xuan. After all, they had been partners through life and death many times. They knew Xuan's every move well and had seen the fervor in his eyes earlier. Whenever he talked about the unknown, his eyes would shine with the same zeal, but... the hint of cruelty was unusual, something they had never seen in Xuan before.

Zheng and Heng exchanged a glance, both feeling uneasy. Although Xuan had always concealed it well, his descent into a state of inner demons was apparent. It seemed he was struggling to keep it under control, and they could only hope he wouldn't lose it at a critical moment. Otherwise... Team China might truly face annihilation here.
