"Still pursuing them?" Qu Jianlei asked curiously. "Have you ever actually killed a Great Venerable? Don't you know how much of a commotion that causes?"
The Ten-Armed Ancestor was momentarily speechless. Listen to what he was asking—had it ever killed a Great Venerable? Strictly speaking, killing a Great Venerable was nearly impossible.
