Xiang Shaoyun kept his released Nether Soul Domain active, maintaining the independent s.p.a.ce around him. Those with strength weaker than his soul power would find it extremely hard to detect his actual location.

In any case, the strength of his physical body had been greatly weakened at the moment. On top of that, he had been further injured by Su Jun. Although he had healed somewhat using a drop of lightning liquid, he no longer dared to easily reveal himself in his current condition.

He suspected that Di Tong would also turn around to kill him. But when he saw clearly who the person sneaking around was, he blanked out.

It's him! Xiang Shaoyun exclaimed inwardly.

The newcomer was none other than Huo Xudong. He should have left like the others long ago. Why had he returned? Xiang Shaoyun believed that he had a decent relations.h.i.+p with Huo Xudong. However, he found it hard to believe Huo Xudong would return for no reason. It was also unlikely that Huo Xudong had returned to take care of him. After all, he could have just stayed behind instead.

Whatever the reason, Xiang Shaoyun did not intend to reveal himself. Inwardly, he thought, I hope you don't disappoint me.

When Huo Xudong arrived at the area, he started looking everywhere. When he found the corpse of Su Jun's mount, shock covered his face as he cried out in alarm, ”Brother Xiang, Brother Xiang, where are you? I am here to help you!”

Xiang Shaoyun was going to withdraw his Nether Soul Domain upon hearing that. However, after a slight hesitation, he still decided to remain patient and kept waiting. In his current condition, he shouldn't be meeting Huo Xudong as he did not wish to be a burden. Thus, he decided to wait for Huo Xudong to leave by himself.

By this point, he already believed that Huo Xudong had returned to help him. He even decided that Huo Xudong was really a good friend. That thought had barely formed in his mind when he heard Huo Xudong's next words. His entire body went cold, as if he had dropped from a hot spring into an ice pool.

That was because after crying out a few times without getting any reply, Huo Xudong muttered to himself, ”Su Jun's dead mount is here. I reckon Xiang Shaoyun and Su Jun must have fought each other. Regardless of whether Su Jun is dead or alive, I'm afraid Xiang Shaoyun must have left far away. What a pity. I had hoped to s.n.a.t.c.h the forbidden technique from him.”

He was practically whispering in a very soft voice. Even if someone was standing right beside him, that person might not hear anything. But with the Nether Soul Domain, each of Xiang Shaoyun's senses was extremely sharp. He heard every single word clearly and was completely stunned.

Huo Xudong then went back into the devil wind beast territory. Xiang Shaoyun's eyes were raging with fury, and he was finding it hard to hold his anger. He gripped his fists tightly as he roared inwardly, Yet another d.a.m.nable traitor! He deserves death!

A fierce murderous intent surged out of him. He was once betrayed by those closest to him back at the Ziling Sect, which was why he hadn't been able to easily trust others since then. That was also why he considered very few people his friend nowadays.

Recently, he had been getting along well with Huo Xudong. He had thought that Huo Xudong had befriended him because both of them were similarly a victim of the Seven Villains. That a.s.sumption caused Xiang Shaoyun to feel somewhat at ease around Huo Xudong, and was how he came to see Huo Xudong as a friend.
