"Why wouldn't I dare?"
Before anyone else could speak, Long Yaochen answered calmly.
He had seen someone beat the younger generation, only for their elders to show up.
But beat an elder, only for someone younger to show up...
That was a first.
Xuan Zi immediately looked his way.
His gaze seemed to ask,
That man's one step away from becoming a Soul Sage. Are you sure you can handle him?
