Nine Evolutions of the True Spirit Chapter 355 – Gains

Rewinding back to a few hours ago.

The monster infiltrators had successfully broken through Zhen Ling Sect's security and sneaked onto Zhen Ling Island. However, at the foot of the mountain, three Zhen Ling Sect Enlightened Masters were already there waiting for them.

Li Xuan-Yin, the Shadow Sage;
