Mu Tianzi stood silently in the Heart Spirit Realm, then suddenly said, "I want to go in."
"No." Pei Ye answered very quickly, as if he had been holding these words in his mouth all along.
Mu Tianzi raised his sword and stepped forward, but Pei Ye merely lifted his hand and the mist thickened; the bamboo seemed to grow out of thin air right before his eyes, and with just a brief blink, Xi Tingxin disappeared. The white fog of the Purple Bamboo Forest, soaked with cold, once again shrouded the Bafang.
The Purple Bamboo Forest was boundless; naturally, Xi Tingxin's position within it was no longer fixed.
"I will find it again," Ji Man said.
He did not look at Pei Ye, but continued forward, sword in hand.
"Then wait until you find it again."
Pei Ye watched his back vanish into the forest, and thus was able to return to reality.
Thick, turbid wind whipped about; the platform was very broad, and from where he stood he could see the great swathes of black treetops.
