"Origin damaged?"
A suitably inquisitive look appeared on Fang Xi's face.
When it came to gossip about one of the Five Sons of the Human Race, evidently no cultivator could avoid indulging in it.
"I don't know the details either... It was just that after that, Chang Qingzi's activities in the Lower Realm, which had quieted down for a time, became somewhat frequent again. He even began searching everywhere for spirit pets with exceptionally long lifespans..."
