Chapter 499

Lu Cang carefully observed the tree within his territory, and he could clearly feel that the tree was absorbing energy between the cosmos.

Just moments ago, in that space, he had not felt this at all.

It's impossible that place had no cosmic energy.

So what exactly caused this?

If this continues, his territory may be in danger.

Meanwhile, all life within Lu Cang's territory had noticed the presence of this tree.

They could clearly feel the power draining from their surroundings.

But since this thing had been brought back by Lu Cang, none of them dared to approach and investigate.

As Lu Cang pondered, he suddenly sensed a presence that was both unfamiliar and familiar.

He looked up toward the distance, as if someone were approaching.

He was certain he had never met this person before, yet he felt a strange sense of familiarity toward them.

The only possibility was that this person was someone he had known before his slumber.

But he had been here so long—why hadn't this person come to find him until now?

Had they finally sensed his power returning?

With these doubts, Lu Cang walked toward that direction.

Soon, he saw a figure in white robes descending from the sky.

The figure floated gently to the ground, steadied themselves, then swiftly approached Lu Cang.

Before Lu Cang could speak, the figure knelt down.

"Master, you've finally returned. I've waited for this day for so long."

"You are…"

Lu Cang realized his assumption was wrong—he had no memory of this person.

If this truly were someone he had known before, he should recognize them now.

"Who are you?"

Lu Cang asked softly.

He was deeply curious about this person; since they had come here, they must be able to sense his power.

His current level was already extremely high—only someone of considerable strength could perceive his energy.

What puzzled Lu Cang was that even now, he could not gauge this person's true depth.

"Master, don't you remember me?"
