A life-and-death battle between the two sides seemed on the verge of erupting!
Just then!
"Cough, cough, cough... Little friend, could you give this old man some face and refrain from massacring these youngsters? It is no easy thing for cultivators to produce juniors with extraordinary bloodlines. Would that be possible?"
A hoarse, aged voice rang out.
Then, an old man leaning on a cane walked in. He trembled as he moved, looking as though he had one foot in the grave.
Yet this old man carried an intensely dangerous aura!
He walked slowly, appearing no different from an ordinary elderly man.
Chen Xuan stared at the old man, and the vigilance in his heart steadily rose!
This was a formidable foe!
Very dangerous!
The more Chen Xuan sensed him, the more he realized how extraordinary the old man was. Moreover, his aura was incomplete, carrying an ethereal, elusive charm.
"An avatar?" Chen Xuan asked coldly.
The old man laughed heartily. "Little friend, your eyes are truly sharp as a torch! This old man is Ming Lou. Meeting you today feels like love at first sight. Could you give me this bit of face? As for entering the hall, it will not be too late for you to enter after Saintess Ruyan leaves!"

"Hmph!"
Chen Xuan snorted coldly, his expression turning even frostier!
Though he was somewhat wary of Ming Lou, there was absolutely no chance that he would back down because of it!
What was more, Liu Ruyan
