When he emerged from the Great Cauldron, besides Zhou Qing, there were Sect Leader Cao Zhengyang and two other disciples in the Golden Core Realm.
As for Lu Yaoyao and others, they were nowhere to be seen.
"Greetings, Uncle-Master, greetings, senior brothers!" Zhou Qing cupped his hands in salute.
Cao Zhengyang said, "Zhou Qing, you've worked hard. This time, you're going alone, so the chances of attracting those Wandering Souls should be much lower. Don't worry, if anything happens, the two of them will rush in to save you immediately."
Zhou Qing nodded, but he couldn't help wishing for some good luck.
Then, Duanmu Shu handed Zhou Qing six Yang Fire Talismans, just in case.
"Then I shall go!" Zhou Qing bowed and resolutely stepped inside.
Watching Zhou Qing's lonely figure disappear behind the bronze door, Duanmu Shu sighed deeply.
"I wonder how Mo scolds me behind my back. Always sending his disciple into danger, it is indeed immoral." Duanmu Shu muttered to herself.
