Skyfire Saint, Present!

"Nonsense. I have the utmost respect for the elderly. Why don't you come over here? Let me show you some proper respect. I swear I won't harm a single hair on your head."

Xiao Yan made this promise with complete sincerity.

"Hehe, I'm only afraid that once I go over, you'll tear these old bones of mine apart. Xiao Yan, was it? The Xiao Yan who killed five Heavenly Venerables of my Soul Hall in the Jia Ma Empire?

Gu You slammed his cane against the ground and snorted.

"No, no, no. I'm not fighting you for the moment. I still need to kill those two losers, Hun Yu and Jiu Feng, first. A man has to keep his word when he's out in the world. Tian Huo, entertain Saint Gu You for me first."

Xiao Yan waved a hand.

As Venerable Skyfire took that step, his aura began to surge rapidly.

Five-Transition Dou Zun Peak, Six-Transition Dou Zun Peak, Seven-Transition...

In an instant, Venerable Skyfire's aura
