In the center of the grand hall, two massive figures stood guard in silence.
[Twin Shadows: Mirror and Destruction], Mid-stage Core Formation, HP x15.
...
「Meanwhile, at the Guixi Sect martial arts arena.」
Dong Changsheng's figure materialized in a flash of brilliant light, and he staggered a few steps before finding his footing.
He glanced around. Behind him was the massive gate of light leading to the [Guixi Secret Realm].
He tried reaching out to touch it, but his hand couldn't pass through.
The secret realm had rejected him.
He... couldn't go back.
'Lin Qingfeng!!!'
Dong Changsheng's face was a mask of venomous resentment and indignation.
'So close!'
'I was *so* incredibly close!'
'That monumental opportunity was about to become mine!'
'Lin Qingfeng not only stole the destiny that should have been mine, but he also mercilessly struck me down!'
This was a humiliation Dong Changsheng would not forget.
