The Beast-Taming Dao True Immortal truly did not think he was guilty—at least, not guilty enough to deserve death.
But Qian Zhong's brazen attack finally forced him to face reality.
The cultivation and status he had been so proud of were, in the other party's eyes, scarcely any better than an ant's!
Once the veneer of polite courtesy was torn away, the relationship between cultivators remained as naked as ever: the strong were supreme!
