Li Jianyi's words left Long Jianxiong stunned.
He naturally knew the situation at Tianjian Peak. Ever since the upheaval there, it had been going downhill instead of making progress.
Now, Tianjian Peak was the weakest of the Profound Sword Sect's peaks.

"Oh? So he's a powerful cultivator you recruited? Can he be trusted?"
"He seems trustworthy enough, but he's no powerful cultivator."
