Zhang Yuxian's heart sank. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't fathom how Lu Ze had found help of this caliber.
Who was this man?
The Azure Nether Daoist, a Body Integration Realm master who had lived in seclusion for years!
Unless someone of a sect master's standing intervened, no one could do a thing to him.

The young man gritted his teeth and
