"You really were playing dead!" Hongjun said coldly.
"Again!" Zhong Shan held the Eternal Life Blade horizontally, and an unprecedented battle intent surged straight into his mind.
"Your cultivation actually rose by one level?" Hongjun said coldly.

Contrary to his usual behavior, Zhong Shan actually began explaining the Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail to Hongjun.
"Devouring Heavenly Tail Beast? Heh, so what? It's merely at the Ancestor Immortal Tenth Heaven!" Hongjun said disdainfully.
