Li Xinge nodded slightly.
"Fellow Daoist Xuanji, there is no need for such courtesy."
He glanced at the Primal Chaos Martial Saint.
"This man ascended from a lower realm," he said. "He claims he reached our world through an ascension passage. Yet why have I been unable to find the slightest trace of that passage anywhere in this world?"

Li Xinge narrowed his eyes slightly.
"And the third?"
"The third..."
