Twenty years ago, Sect Leader Zhu had placed enormous hopes in Xu Yi.
Though Xu Yi had been at the True Essence Fifth Turn back then, he still couldn't Point Origin.
But the extraordinary talent Xu Yi had displayed was unlike anything Sect Leader Zhu had ever seen in his life.
After Xu Yi set out for the Demon Domain, Sect Leader Zhu had even secretly thought that if Xu Yi failed to find an opportunity there,
he would spend whatever resources it took to obtain the Point Origin Secret Method for the True Essence Fifth Turn from the Saint Clan.
He had never expected to hear nothing for twenty years.
Meanwhile, the world had undergone tremendous changes, and Donghua Immortal Sect had been swept into violent upheaval, declining day by day until it now faced the danger of annihilation.
At this critical moment, Xu Yi had burst onto the scene, rescuing the sect from peril and bringing stability to Donghua. Sect Leader Zhu had finally seen his last wish fulfilled.
The heavy burden that had weighed on his heart for so long suddenly lifted. Though Sect Leader Zhu was about to die, he was truly happy.
"Ancestor Miao—I wonder how much you know about him, Sect Leader. I've always felt he was impossible to see through. At the very least, I'm not confident I could defeat him."
Xu Yi had to bring up the one old monster from their recent battle whom he had not been confident of keeping there.
Of course, Xu Yi didn't think Ancestor Miao was necessarily stronger than him, either. He was simply wary because he couldn't see through him.
And now that Ancestor Miao had left, it was as though he had left behind an adversary. That was a hidden danger, all the same.
