If there were no danger, I would not have deceived Sovereign Mu into guarding the Great Black Wood for me for half a year. " There was one more thing he did not say aloud: if he could not return alive, then Shen Mu would not merely guard the Great Black Wood for half a year — he would have to guard it for the long ages to come. At that time, Shen Mu would become Tai Yi's successor, never able to leave. Wei Suifeng and Shu Jun, unaware of the inside story, smiled apologetically and said: "What person could possibly trouble you, Senior?

"This old fellow Tai Yi — he's fierce indeed! " Seeing Tai Yi fight his way forward, Shu Jun could not help but admire him greatly: "Old in years but strong in spirit!
