Eclosion Heavenly Venerable stood meekly, not daring to speak.
Sword Venerable Tai'a glared at him for a long while, but in the end, he could hardly do anything to him. After all, this was a disciple he had raised himself.
His disciple had now condensed a Great Dao Divine Image. Once he repaired it completely, Sword Venerable Tai'a could bring him to the Small Immortal World and have him join the Ancient Sword Immortal Hall. Then he would have another ally there.
Just then.
A haughty man in brocade arrived before them.
He glanced at Eclosion Heavenly Venerable first, then bowed respectfully to Sword Venerable Tai'a. "Master, I heard Senior Brother Eclosion had arrived, so I came to meet him."

Still, Eclosion Heavenly Venerable cupped his hands to the man.
"I'm Eclosion. You're Master's disciple too?"
The man in brocade said coolly, "I am Jin Bujue. A pleasure to meet you, Senior Brother Eclosion. I heard you've been guarding Master's old home in the Zhoutian Sword Domain. Why have you suddenly come to the Small Immortal World? Has something happened there?"

The bastard did that on purpose, didn't he? Of all the things to bring up, he picked the one sore spot!
Sure enough.
Sword Venerable Tai'a's expression, which had
