Xu Yi said nothing, assessing the situation before him.
A deafening crash suddenly rang out. The defenses surrounding the entire main hall shattered, and with a thunderous boom, its great doors collapsed.
In the next instant, the hall's dome was blown away too. The sky was clear, the weather fine, and blazing sunlight streamed without restraint across Xu Yi's face.
Facing the dazzling sunlight, he saw dozens of people suspended in midair. At their center stood an enormous pure-white jade palanquin, before which five gigantic azure dragons roared and clawed at the air.
A man in white stood gracefully atop the palanquin. It was Dan Mingyu, whom Xu Yi had encountered once before. Xu Yi recognized him, but the man did not recognize Xu Yi.
Back then, Xu Yi had been forced to stand with his head bowed, making way for Dan Mingyu's palanquin. He had never expected their paths to cross again so soon.
"Greetings, Young Master Mingyu."
Half the people beside Xu Yi bowed and greeted Young Master Mingyu in the air.
Mi Fang hurriedly sent Xu Yi a thought: "Guard Master Sui, I spoke frankly with you because I felt we got along. The Dan Family's strength is beyond what any lone cultivator can challenge. Offer an apology and pay some compensation. I believe you can put this behind you. After all, you're a Guard Master in your own right. No matter how overbearing the Dan Family may be, they still have to show Reverse Star Palace some respect."
"Thank you for your concern, Brother Mi."
Xu Yi paid little mind to Dan Mingyu. Instead, he felt Mi Fang was worth winning over.
"Ninth Young Master, please go back. Even if Chunlai dies at the hands of these villains, he won't bring shame upon the Dan Family..."
