Venerable Yuanshi, seated upon an Eight-Treasure Glazed Couch, abruptly opened his eyes.
A rare flicker of shock and gravity appeared on his eternally placid face.
"An Ancestral Witch?"

Sect Master Tongtian stroked the Qingping Sword across his knees, his eyes brimming with exhilaration.
Though he did not know who this suddenly appearing Ancestral Witch was, he vaguely guessed that it must be connected to his mysterious Vice Sect
