On the morning of Ling'ao Island, a light mist lingered like a thin veil among the mountain forests, and the leaves were covered with crystal-clear dewdrops. Shimmering faintly in the morning light, they looked like scattered stars fallen to the mortal realm.

Hu Feng immediately unleashed the Spirit Shadow Dividing Light Sword, several sword images shooting like lightning toward the direction where the shadow had vanished, while shouting: "What kind of rat dares skulk about on Ling'ao Island!"
