Although the altar had appeared, Ge Panming hadn’t expected Lo Yingbai to use a diversionary tactic. Seeing the amulet retrieved, his expression changed, throwing Zhu Caiwei down, blocking Lo Yingbai’s knife, almost desperately trying to snatch back the jade amulet.
Ge Panming indeed became anxious, pressing close with each move, his murderous intent filling the air. Lo Yingbai found himself increasingly struggling to push and block.
Seeing Ge Panming’s fingertips about to touch the jade pendant’s edge, he decisively flung it, sending the pendant flying. Ge Panming leaped to grab it but was blocked by Lo Yingbai, forced to watch the jade shatter on the ground.
In that moment, he was completely stunned.
Lo Yingbai even felt that Ge Panming seemed somewhat sad, a strange sense of bitterness passing through his heart.
The shattered jade pendant suddenly emitted a dazzling light.
Golden light filled the sky, clouds and rosy clouds rising, as if day suddenly replaced night.
An inexplicable pull made Lo Yingbai involuntarily reach out to touch the golden light. Ge Panming, emerging from his daze, tried to raise his hand to stop him but was pushed back by the blinding radiance.
The demonic energy on his body made him extremely sensitive to such light, and he shielded his painful eyes with his arm, then felt the light suddenly dim.
Looking at Lo Yingbai, Ge Panming was stunned.
Where the mist cleared, a tall figure stood, a white battle robe fluttering slightly in the wind, untouched by dust.
Ge Panming’s lips trembled, seeming to want to smile, but the smile never formed, only releasing two hoarse syllables: “Ming Lang…”
Lo Yingbai glanced at him, and Ge Panming felt as if his very core was pierced.
He wanted to step forward but hesitated, carefully asking: “About our matter… do you, do you remember?”
Lo Yingbai was silent for a moment, then said: “You are… Chun Xiao.”
Through countless ages, he had been the Ghost Emperor, the Underworld Minister, the Child of Humans and Demons… but it had been a very long time since anyone had called this true name.
