In the mist-filled Yunwu Mountain, several dark figures darted through the forest, moving swiftly upward, far faster than any running champion seen on TV.
"Huff... huff," the autumn wind blew chillingly, red leaves continuously falling—this was a pre-dawn battle.
A man in purple clothes, accompanied by several demons with bloodshot eyes, arrived at the mountain peak. At the center, there was a round platform with two pearl-like orbs, slightly larger, emitting mist and a white glow that intertwined with the moonlight.
The man in purple revealed a greedy look, murmuring, "So this is the treasure, the Cloud Mist Pearl. This time I've made a significant contribution to the Netherworld Hall. The Hall Master might view me in a different light, hahaha!!"
He controlled the demons to surround the orbs while he walked over slowly, without the slightest concern for the approaching Shangguan Family, Lin Family, or Mu Yunlong.
