A Battle Appointment with Northern Cold!

"Several other Immortal Venerables believed Northern Cold Fellow Daoist had the better odds of winning, so they were not prepared to intervene," Qing Yuanzi replied, his expression somewhat unnatural.

He knew that he had come today to lay everything bare, yet when he spoke these words himself, he still felt somewhat ashamed. After all, compared to Jiang Che, Northern Cold Immortal Venerable had rendered illustrious service to the Human Race.

In truth, if Jiang Che's talent had not been so terrifying, the Human Race's Immortal Venerables would certainly have sided with Northern Cold Immortal Venerable and would never have allowed Jiang Che to truly come to his door and challenge him.
