The other party let out a long sigh. "You guessed right."
"I am a disciple of the Pill Emperor and a descendant of the Miao Clan—the clan leader of the Miao Clan during ancient times."
"During ancient times, I was hunted across the Supreme Sea by an immortal of Mu Royal Court's generation. I was no match for him and perished."
"Only a wisp of my remnant soul remained, dwelling in the Fusang Tree."

He was also the last True Immortal of Miao Royal Court.
"Fine.
