That was right—the first Holy Lord to launch a sneak attack was none other than the Ji Family Holy Lord, whom Su Haoming knew best!
Hearing Su Haoming's praise, the muscles at the corners of the Ji Family Holy Lord's eyes twitched slightly. He could not tell whether Su Haoming was genuinely praising him or mocking his sneak attack.
But no matter what, it was hardly something honorable.
The Ji Family Holy Lord coughed twice and said calmly, "Fellow daoist Su flatters me. The Immortal Palace and the Ji Family have always been allies. Naturally, Ji knows which side he ought to stand with."
"Besides, my Little Moon also appeared in the Dragon Transformation Pool."
"She is now the Immortal Palace Saintess and greatly favored by the senior True Lords. When she returned home for a visit last time, she even showed Ji the source imprint left behind by True Lord Xuanhuan."
"That dark... ahem, powerful and terrifying aura is something Ji still cannot forget."
"With such favor bestowed upon her, how could Ji, as the Holy Lord of her maternal family, drag Ziyue down and affect her future in the Immortal Palace?"
"Indeed!" Another Holy Lord chuckled. "Brother Ji is absolutely right. Although Li has no connection with the Immortal Palace, he shares a good personal friendship with Brother Ji."
"Moreover, Li once listened to True Lord Huanyu's teachings. No matter what, I could never oppose the Immortal Palace!"
Li?
Su Haoming blinked, then suddenly understood. "So it is fellow daoist Li from the Yao Guang Holy Land. My apologies, my apologies!"
You only recognized me now?
The Yao Guang Holy Lord's lips twitched before he smiled. "Fellow daoist Su is too courteous. In just over a month, you have advanced from the Dragon Transformation realm to such heights.
