Inviting Yan Ao and Lu Ya to come out of seclusion required a grand ceremony, but when it came to Bowei, things were completely different.
The meeting was clandestine.
Apart from Lan Chuan, Lu Ya, Yan Ao, and a few God Kings, no one would know that Bowei had become Zhao Xing's Dao Protector.
There was no invitation ceremony either, because Zhao Xing did not need to be indebted to Bowei.
Bowei was here to atone for his sins.
If there was any debt of gratitude to be paid, it was owed to the Samsara Divine Palace.
Palace Master Lu Ya gently flapped his wings, and in the next moment, Zhao Xing found himself back in the Samsara Divine Palace with the Martial God, Yan Ao.
It was still the same familiar bronze gate and the familiar cemetery.
The guardian was still Palace Lord Tu Ning.
However, when Zhao Xing saw Bowei again, he was no longer disheveled and chained to a gravestone.
A refined courtyard had been built where the Yanshen Stele once stood.
Walking into the courtyard, Zhao Xing saw that Bowei had changed into clean clothes, his hair tied up with a white jade hairpin.
His expression had softened, as if he had regained his humanity.
His eyes were filled with wisdom, seeming to have returned to the high-spirited Grand Elder he once was.
