"Who is this?"
The red-haired man stared at Li Xuanxiao.
Xue Jian gave a light cough. "Everyone, let me introduce him. This is our Ghost King's new Protector."
"The new Protector? Where are Chen Liu and Master Bai?"
The man with a great serpent prowling at his feet asked.
Xue Jian was still pondering a tactful way to put it when Li Xuanxiao said bluntly:
"The two of them are dead. I killed them."
The moment those words fell, the other eight present could not help but stare in astonishment.
Chen Liu and Master Bai were dead?
As figures whose strength was second only to the Ghost King's within the Ghost Domain, Chen Liu and Master Bai were naturally well known to everyone.
There was no doubting their strength.
And now they were hearing from someone else that they had died?
"A new face. Why have I never heard of you before?" the red-haired man asked.
"It does not matter whether you know me or not. It is not too late to introduce myself now.
I am a Shushan Disciple, Li Xuanxiao."
"What!? A Shushan Disciple?"
At those words, the entire hall was shocked.
"A Shushan Disciple?"
The man with the great serpent narrowed his eyes slightly at Li Xuanxiao.
"What kind of joke is this? Shu Mountain has been destroyed for so many years. Where did a Shushan Disciple come from?"
Li Xuanxiao smiled. "If you do not believe me, have a look at this token."
"A token from Shu Mountain?" The red-haired man was instantly intrigued.
Li Xuanxiao took a box from his sleeve. "Catch."
The red-haired man raised a hand and caught it.
It was a box of rather ancient design.
"This is a token from Shu Mountain?"
Yet just as his words fell—BOOM!!
A tremendous force
