Zhutian Sword Master, Xiaoyaozi!

Listening to Nalan Chen's sigh of admiration, Third Gentleman remained as calm and composed as ever. He slowly said, "The promise Duan Kang made to you seems impossible to fulfill now."

As a powerhouse from Doomsday Palace's headquarters, for Duan Kang to have hidden within the Death Abyss Sea, he must have reached some kind of deal with Dao Ancestor Refining God.

But now that Duan Kang was dead, his promise naturally could not be fulfilled.

"I'm very curious to see which of you and Doomsday Palace will have the last laugh."

Third Gentleman calmly replied, "Who has the last laugh isn't important."

"What I seek is simply to live with clarity, to gain a thorough understanding of this great age."

"I only wish to uncover this world's ultimate truth. As for Doomsday Palace... hehehe, it isn't important."
