"I see you~ Come out now and we can still have a nice talk. But if you piss me off, you little Venerable will be returning to the embrace of the ancestor today! Ahahaha!"
The wild, arrogant voice came from within the red mist. Qi Lingyue's eyes remained calm and still. She ignored Blood Sword Master's taunts. The panic concealed beneath his voice was enough to tell her that he had no way of getting out.
