Su Ping saw that those Ascendant cultivators weren't the elites that had gathered in the body's heart earlier, but another group of middling cultivators; he ignored them and pressed forward.
He saw a lot of fleshly remains and machines on his way. After zigzagging through the channels, he found that he had reached the neck of the body according to the map.
The head was right in front of him.
"Is the ancient corpse reviving?"
Su Ping was surprised and confused.
He soon saw his first senior brother and the others. Liu Xia and the other elites were there too, standing in front of a narrow, long channel. In front of them were a group of Ascendant cultivators clad in unusual clothes, including some Heavenly Lords. Su Ping saw that some of them were wearing armor he was familiar with.
It was the same armor worn by Ascendants from the Wolf Fangs, a local organization.
