At the same time, above Huanyan Marsh outside Huanyan City, an exceptionally tall man with a body as sturdy as an iron tower hovered in the air, his expression displeased.
His facial features were sharply defined and resembled those of the Human Race, save for his thick, hard, bluish-black nose, which was like a rhinoceros's sharp horn. His ears were also long and pointed, each adorned with a massive golden earring.
As he looked at the endlessly churning Misty Illusion Smoke in the marsh, the iron-tower man's expression grew increasingly grim, as if he could barely suppress the anger in his heart.
At this moment, a streak of red light shot over from the horizon. Yet while it was still hundreds of miles away, a crimson spirit domain suddenly appeared, wrapped around the red light, and dragged it before the iron-tower man.
With a deafening boom, the red light shattered at once, revealing a Red Jade Flying Chariot within.
Next Moment, three figures flew out of the chariot. They were Gongshu Jiu, his Senior Brother Wang Xiaosen, and his direct disciple Feng Qingyuan.
"Greetings, Lord Chi Rong!"
Despite having been humiliated, the three immediately bowed respectfully to Chi Rong.
"You are half a month late!"
Chi Rong said angrily.
"Reporting to Lord Chi Rong, Silver Fox appeared in the Black Mountain Immortal Domain. We were delayed because we went to capture him."
Gongshu Tian immediately explained.
"Did you capture him?"
Chi Rong asked in a deep voice.
"Er... Silver Fox was cunning. He saw through the trap we had set up in advance and had someone else purchase the Myriad Soul Grass, so..."
Gongshu Tian immediately looked embarrassed, but before he could finish, Chi Rong interrupted him with a shout of "Trash!"
*Damn it! A mere foreign race dares humiliate
