Jiang Chen, with a solid plan to confront Gu Ran, decided it was time to act.
With a single thought, he vanished from his spot. High in the sky, he shot toward the marine region where Gu Ran was hiding.
Meanwhile, on a coral reef, Gu Ran continued to maintain his invisibility. Yet, a trace of unease began to creep into his heart. He wondered, 'What was observing me just a moment ago?'
Just recalling that eerie sensation sent a chilling tingle down his spine, filling him with a lingering fear.
'Is there a terrifying demonic beast lurking around this coral reef?' he thought. 'But that can't be! I chose this reef carefully as my hunting ground—there's no way a demonic beast stronger than the Mysterious Platform realm would appear here!'
Or could it be that a powerful cultivator passing by has noticed me?
The more Gu Ran pondered, the deeper his regret grew.
