Chapter 307

Compared to Zhao Wuji's shock, Zhao Shenyue wore an expression that suggested she had expected this all along. As a direct descendant of the Dayue imperial family who had received personal guidance from Great Sage Qingtian in his later years, her vision was exceptionally profound. She had a deep, thorough understanding of the Dao practiced by Great Sage Qingtian. In contrast, Zhao Wuji, who was also a noble of the Dayue imperial family and slightly superior in cultivation, lacked deep contact with Great Sage Qingtian and thus could not perceive the clues immediately. It was only when the mysterious Void Return cultivator—whom he had believed was about to be defeated or even slain by Yang An—suddenly surged with vital energy, his body towering ten thousand feet high as if aided by divine power, that enlightenment finally dawned on him.
