Zhaang Ye surpassed Situ Houtu in a single breath, reaching the end of the Ancient Passage and landing on a massive stone platform.
As soon as he left the Ancient Passage, Zhaang Ye felt the presence that had been weighing heavily on his mind suddenly dissipate.
With the dissipation of that presence, the True Qi in Zhaang Ye's body immediately resumed its circulation. His whole body suddenly felt light and airy. The fatigue and drowsiness vanished in an instant, and he felt filled with boundless energy.
The sound of footsteps came from behind him. It turned out that Situ Houtu had also arrived.
Situ Houtu's cultivation had reached the Fifth Layer Peak of Martial Arts. The moment he arrived at the end, his strength immediately recovered. His body suddenly straightened, as rigid as a mountain. The weariness in his eyes vanished completely, and his gaze turned sharp and bright, naturally exuding a powerful aura.
Zhaang Ye's and Situ Houtu's eyes met.
