"Ren Xuan, did you really think I was that easy to fool?"
"All that talk of yours was just to buy time."
"But you should know that no matter what tricks you use, they won't work. You can't stall for long."
"And what was that about 'Invincible Changan,' the Longevity Realm's unrivaled number-one prodigy?"

Seeing that the sect master was taking the bait,
