"Alright, this is as much as I can help you with. From now on, you're on your own, young man. We should have a chance to meet again!"
As the Hou spoke, its massive body suddenly trembled, unleashing a colossal force like an ocean tide that sent Qin Li flying into the air.
"Senior, wait…"
Qin Li's vision suddenly shifted. He was back above the deep valley. As he came to his senses, he felt as if it had all been an illusion. He immediately extended the vast Spiritual Power from his Sea of Consciousness downward.
