Not long after Zhao Sheng had fled, two tunneling lights suddenly raced from a distance and landed atop a desolate mountain.
The light faded, revealing two figures, one tall and one short. One was a black-robed elder, and the other, a younger woman in palace attire, both exuding the formidable aura of the Golden Core Realm.
The pair scanned the bloodied ground, their expressions turning ugly at the sight of the shattered remnants of the Jade Scorpion's shell.
"It is indeed the White Jade Scorpion King! It seems we've arrived a step too late, Master Jade Scorpion's fate is more likely dire than not," the black-robed elder grimly stated, picking up a piece of the scorpion shell.
The woman in palace attire waved her hand, summoning a White Bone Tower. Muttering incantations, she spread a swath of white light across her surroundings.
Wherever the white light swept, a mass of dark energy rose from the ground, turning into a dense aura of death.
