The flow of time within the courtyard's Dao Domain has returned to normal.
The massive dark cloud to the north had just swept over the city wall of Xuanbei Pass when Chen Chong noticed something amiss.
He stared grimly at Xie Xuanyi and Mi Yun. Without this unexpected "demon attack," he was confident he had a hundred methods to keep these two in the city. But now he faced a critical decision—
Keep them?
Or face the enemy?
"Hah."
Chen Chong took a deep breath and exhaled heavily.
In less than a breath's time.
He made his choice.
The overwhelming pressure enveloping the entire courtyard suddenly dissipated. Snow and ash flew in the sky, scattering down, leaving the courtyard in disarray, with tiles and bricks scattered everywhere.
"Is it... over?"
Chang Mei Arhat sat heavily on the ground.
His face was pale; he hadn't quite recovered from the pressure just now.
The oppressive presence brought by Chen Chong was too strong.
