In the sky, Peony Fangshi's face, which had been twisted into an ugly expression, instead calmed at this moment. With a face as still as water, he stared at Lin Chuan, seemingly trying to see through just how many more tricks Lin Chuan had up his sleeve.
"I underestimated you!" Peony Fangshi said seriously as he looked at Lin Chuan.
It had been Peony Fangshi who proposed sealing Lin Chuan within the Longevity Realm. But now, it seemed this plan could no longer be described as a failure—it was simply lifting a rock only to smash his own foot.

But now, with the outcome laid completely before them, they finally realized just how laughable and childish that notion had been.
"There are plenty more things you underestimated," Lin Chuan said calmly. "Still, I'm rather curious about your true identity. It seems being the companion divine beast of the Central River Continent is not where you truly belong."
The corners of Peony Fangshi's lips curled slightly into a tranquil smile. "My identity is something you cannot touch. Remember this: today was the Central River Imperial Family's defeat, not mine. One day, I will return!"
"I'm afraid I won't give you the chance to make a comeback," Lin Chuan said.
