Shen Haoran and Ling Feng moved quickly. In the time it takes half an incense stick to burn, they had traveled from the depths of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect to its main gate, and then to the cave where Xu Hao was resting.
Upon entering the cave, they found the other Qi Refining Sect disciples gathered around Xu Hao. Hearing the noise outside, they had all drawn their weapons, but when they saw it was Shen Haoran, they let out a collective sigh of relief.
"Boss, you're finally back!" one of the Qi Refining Sect disciples exclaimed, hurrying forward to greet him.
Shen Haoran nodded and walked to Xu Hao's side. Seeing the faint rise and fall of his chest, he asked softly, "How is he?"
