I had prepared for the worst. If reason failed,
then I would fight this White Immortal possessing Chen Hui right here.
White Immortal's true body was absent, and among the Five Immortals, White Immortal ranked lowest in combat ability.
If we really came to blows, I truly did not think this White Immortal possessing Chen Hui would be a match for me.
Their greatest strength lay in dispelling evil and treating illnesses.
That was why people said White Immortals excelled at healing and saving lives, but not at fighting.
A shrine like this deserved respect. From a certain perspective, they were quite similar to my second profession as a doctor.
If this could be resolved peacefully, that would naturally be best.
I assumed a defensive stance but did not take the initiative to provoke or attack.
After hearing me, the other party widened Chen Hui's eyes, which glimmered with a faint ghostly light.
"Ah! You killed Gray Ten Han?"
Since she had questioned me rather than attacking immediately, I felt there was still room to turn this around.
I immediately nodded.
"Yes, White Immortal! Today, I heard that a series of fires had broken out on Peace Street. I sensed that some evil thing was at work, so I tracked down that rat demon and finally killed him. This is his demon hide..."
As I spoke, I took the rat skin from my bag.
As fellow animal immortals, she should have been able to recognize it easily.
White Immortal merely glanced at it before saying in surprise,
"It really is Gray Ten Han's hide! What an impressive youngster. Your cultivation is remarkably profound."
At that moment, a trace of surprise appeared on Chen Hui's face.
After all, the fact that I could fight Gray Ten Han one-on-one was enough to
