Old Ancestor Ling Shan respectfully bowed to Shen Fan. Clearly, he had not recognized Shen Fan's identity.
That was only natural. He had never met Shen Fan, and had only learned of his existence through Shui Tian.
Moreover, the Shen Fan Old Ancestor Ling Shan knew of might have been stronger than his junior, Shui Tian, but at most, he would have been at the Seventh Grade True Ancestor realm.
He would never have dreamed that Shen Fan could break through beyond the Sixth Grade in such a short time.
In fact, Shen Fan's true combat strength far surpassed his cultivation realm.
In Old Ancestor Ling Shan's eyes, Shen Fan was most likely a Saint Ancestor of the Fifth Grade or higher!
How could he dare offend a powerhouse like that?
Shen Fan had no intention of revealing himself, either. Seeing Old Ancestor Ling Shan's reaction, he simply went along with it.
"There's no need to stand on ceremony. I merely happened to see injustice and step in!"
"But if I'm not mistaken, those fellows who attacked you just now seemed to be of the same race as you?
What's going on between you?"
Shen Fan's curiosity didn't displease Old Ancestor Ling Shan. In fact, he had expected the other man to ask. If their roles had been reversed, he would probably have done the same.
After weighing his words, Old Ancestor Ling Shan explained.
"To be frank, Senior, I am the Old Ancestor of the Tian He Lineage of the Water Origin Spirit Race. Those people just now are also from my race, but not from my lineage!"
"They attacked me because someone ordered them to seize the supreme treasure of my lineage!"
As he spoke, Old Ancestor Ling Shan actually summoned a blue orb from within himself.
