"It's time to close the net," Lu Xuan said coldly, gazing at the grayish-white eye in his palm.
The fisherman who had laid the bait thought he was about to catch a big fish, but little did he know that what awaited him were several ferocious, bloodthirsty sharks. Lu Xuan immediately sent a message to the three core disciples, Ge Pu and the others, who all confirmed they were ready to provide support whenever needed. As for the luan bird and the little white ape, with the strand of hair left by the white ape, Lu Xuan could summon them at any time.
Over the next few days, Lu Xuan kept a close watch on the happenings in the small courtyard in the underworld through the Void Nightmare Eye. During this time, the infant phantom within the Saint Infant Fruit sapling appeared several times, each time showing clear signs of consciousness, carefully observing the courtyard's formations and layout. However, despite its strong initiative, the infant phantom was still just a malevolent spirit fruit with no special abilities, let alone the power to break through the Thousand Illusions Smoke Array Lu Xuan had set up.
Knowing that the fruit was nearing maturity, Lu Xuan contacted Ge Pu and the others, and they all converged on Swordgate Town. Ge Pu and Zhong Jingshan, the two core disciples, hid in the center of the town, ready to reach the courtyard in a matter of moments. As for Huo Liner, she stayed on the outskirts of the town as a precaution.
