In a flash.
Before Jiang Yuan and the others' eyes, Nie Yuan's figure entered South Heaven Gate and instantly disappeared from their view.
...
Nether Starfield.
In the starry sky.
As the waters beneath South Heaven Gate rippled slightly, Nie Yuan's figure instantaneously appeared in the starry sky.
In an instant.
Nie Yuan felt a resonance with the Great Dao, his primordial spirit entrusted to the heart of the Great Dao.
The might of the Saint returned to him, and he immediately felt a wave of relief in his heart.
With his arrival, he instantly attracted the attention of everyone.
Seeing this, the Southern Ridge Demon Emperor's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he thought to himself.
Nie Yuan?
They actually let him return?
Could it be that Nine Nether wasn't lying in wait at South Heaven Gate and had instead gone deep into the Ancient Heavenly Court?
Or did Nine Nether not desire to become enemies with Nie Yuan, thus not showing himself and allowing him passage?
