399 Majestic Hero—Black God

The Buried City.

At the top of one of the Eternity Peaks, the magic circle inside the Eternal Barrier lit up. Darius did not need to turn his head to tell who was the one that had just arrived. His focus remained on the spectral army that was charging up relentlessly through the mountain path. He greeted Qin Ruo without facing him, "Welcome back to the Buried City!"

"Glad to be back," Qin Ruo replied calmly. He looked into the distance and did not bother whether Darius had heard him.

After being in and out of the Buried City so many times, he was already used to the transition of altitude between the plains and peak and was indifferent to Darius' customary greeting. He first took a good scan of the surroundings, then, as usual, he followed the sky bridge lining and looked all the way down to the Buried City which was at the far end from Eternity Peak.
