Yang Shan hovered in place, striking a pose.
On either side of him, Yao Xing and Xin Shi of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan flew past in succession.
Neither of them looked at Yang Shan with any friendliness.
Yet neither made a move against him.
If Yang Shan had been the closest to the Bodhi Pill, then aside from Huo Zhi, every other expert present would likely have tacitly chosen to bombard him with Dou Skills!
But with this openly calculated move, Yang Shan had easily dissolved everyone's hostility toward him.
Though this would make the others even more wary of him, in Yang Shan's view, wariness was merely wariness. It was far better than facing them head-on.
The Yao Clan's heaven's chosen, the Nine Netherworld Python Clan Leader, and those two Eight Star Dou Zuns from the Pill Tower who already had one foot in the grave.
Xiao Ding and Xiao Li of the Xiao Clan were also lurking in the shadows, eyeing him like tigers.
Yang Shan was not Xiao Kuang. If he really went up against so many people, even if he did not die, he would lose a layer of skin! He could not exactly have Zi Yan expose her identity and go all out to protect him, could he? It would have been great if Senior were here.
Zi Yan had special circumstances and could not reveal her true strength when there were too many people around.
But Xiao Xun'er had no such concerns.
Unfortunately, Xiao Xun'er had taken the Purple Immortal Pavilion's people to the Refining Barrier.
It was not that Xiao Xun'er had disregarded her agreement with an ally. Rather, she worried that if the Purple Immortal Pavilion acted alongside Yang Shan, they would split the opportunities that should have belonged to him.
