Xia Feng had no intention of going back to find Gong Changyi.
Are you kidding me? Now that he had escaped, only a fool would walk straight back into the trap.
However, what he didn't expect was this.
As he fled northward, a woman's ethereal and light laughter echoed in his heart, "My dear brother, where do you think you're running off to?"
With those words, Xia Feng's limbs unexpectedly began to move on their own, turning him around to sprint back the way he came.
Startled, he quickly checked himself and discovered that at some point, a strange curse had been placed on him.
After thinking for a moment, Xia Feng realized the truth.
It was the curse given to him by the Holy Light column when he entered it to have a secret talk with Gong Changyi.
No wonder Gong Changyi had him enter the column; she was waiting here for me.
Xia Feng sighed. Soon, under Gong Changyi's control, his limbs quickly moved, and he found himself back in front of the Holy Light column.
