Tang Xiuqi's voice came from behind him.
Xu Wuyi retracted the Power of his Heart Image, and the Gravity Field around his spear slowly dissipated.
He turned to see Tang Xiuqi walking up the steps, his pale face wearing its usual gentle smile.
"Senior Brother Tang." Xu Wuyi retracted his spear and bowed.
"The Rift has been quiet these past few days. The Energy readings have remained low." Tang Xiuqi walked to the edge of the parapet and gazed at the distant Rift. "It seems the Beast King on the other side has also calmed down for a while after the last Beast Tide."
"That's a good thing," Xu Wuyi said.
The two stood side by side on the wall, the autumn wind rustling the hems of their clothes.
Inside the fortress, the Martial Artists were busy with their own tasks. Su Wen was debugging the Rune Array, Zhao Kun was leading a few new recruits in coordination drills, and Li Shuang was regulating her breathing alone in a corner. Everything was in perfect order.
