Chapter 363: Senior Brother Will See You Off

The morning light of the mao hour had just pierced the eastern cloud layer, like an extremely fine golden sword, slicing an opening in the perpetual mist shrouding Gazing Star Cliff.

Su Ming was already dressed and standing before the entrance to his cave dwelling.

The newly issued purple True Disciple robe, due to its special material, had an excellent drape. The seven-star cloud patterns on the cuffs occasionally refracted a faint gleam in the dawn light.

He raised his left hand. On his index finger was the "disguised" Xuantian ring.

At this moment, the ring was dull and dusty, its surface even bearing several scratches as if eroded by time. It looked like a defective item picked up from some second-hand stall, completely out of place with that resplendent True Disciple robe.

"Buzz."

Two tokens in his bosom vibrated almost simultaneously.

Su Ming reached in and took them out.

One was a True Disciple token carved from purple jade, warm and smooth to the touch; the other was a Punishment Peak law enforcement token cast from black iron, chillingly cold.

The same line of characters appeared on both tokens, the strokes sharp and severe, exuding an official, impersonal coldness: "Chen hour, Heart-Questioning Platform, Illusory Wave Sea. Do not be late."Su Ming gently rubbed his thumb over the icy-cold characters "Do not be late" but said nothing, merely hanging the tokens back at his waist.

He took one final look back at the cave dwelling behind him that he hadn't even warmed up yet.

All the defensive formations were activated to maximum power, even that unknown web-spinning spider was kept outside the barriers.

"Let's go."

He said to himself in his heart, then turned and stepped forward.

Just as he walked out of the range of the illusion formation before the cave dwelling, a grating, teeth-on-edge sound of metal scraping suddenly came from above, followed by a loud "CLANG!"

A blast of air carrying pine needles rushed towards his face.

Su Ming instinctively retreated half a step back. He saw a plank that looked like it was cobbled together from various scrap metals and junk, crashing crookedly onto the clearing ahead.

As the dust settled, Luo Feng's face, always wearing a brilliant smile, appeared.

"Little Junior Brother! Good morning!"

Luo Feng jumped down from the "Floating Formation Board" that was still smoking black, holding a red-lacquered food box carved with intricate patterns in his hand. "I figured the time was about right, so I came specifically to see you off!"

Su Ming's tense shoulders relaxed slightly as he cupped his hands in salute. "Third Senior Brother, what brings you here?"
