So now there were two possibilities: either he encountered an illusion or an alternate space. In any case, he should not be in danger. After all, Ge Panming must have chosen this place to hide for a reason.
As Ge Panming was his own weapon, any plan or confrontation was likely aimed at himself. Perhaps it was better that Xia Xianning was not nearby.
Lo Yingbai understood this and slowly walked into the open hall. The sword that Xia Xianning had just used to break down the door had also disappeared.
The shrine in the middle was precisely the silver long halberd that had just flown out and been cut back by Xia Xianning, which should be Ge Panming’s true form.
The Chi Qiong clan had received the favor of the Ghost Emperor and honored him as their guardian deity, mainly because Ge Panming could sense this halberd, which led to his acceptance as a priest.
They did not know that this person’s true identity was the god who had saved their clan back then.
The accumulated anger had mostly dissipated with Peng Xuan’s death and Zhu Caiwei’s failure. Looking at the halberd now, Lo Yingbai felt a complex emotion.
He lightly pressed on the shrine and leaped up, closely examining the long halberd, feeling something unusual.
Now he basically knew Ge Panming’s identity, their grievances, and the feelings between him and Xia Xianning in their previous life. However, Lo Yingbai always lacked the deep sense of involvement that Xia Xianning had. This “knowing” was merely “knowing” and not a feeling from the depths of his heart.
Lo Yingbai’s fingers gently traced the uneven texture when a voice suddenly came from behind:
“Long Xiao sets the palace, five capitals submit. Eternal light remains, rainbow spans endlessly.”
He withdrew his hand, jumped down from the shrine, and turned back calmly, saying, “You’re here, Ge Panming.”
Ge Panming smiled ambiguously, his figure turning and disappearing before Lo Yingbai’s eyes. Immediately, the halberd on the shrine transformed back into human form.
Lo Yingbai’s gaze swept behind Ge Panming, seeing Zhu Caiwei hiding behind a curtain, peeking out a corner to look at him. Their eyes met, and she was startled, quickly hiding back.
Lo Yingbai asked Ge Panming, “You still want to protect her?”
