"Deputy Sect Master Xie, so it was you."
At the sight of the white-haired elder, Fan Feichen smiled as well and returned the salute with cupped fists.
This man was Xie Huaian, one of the deputy sect masters of the Enlightenment Dao Sect.
The two were old acquaintances who had known each other for well over a thousand years.
Xie Huaian blinked and smiled. "I heard your disciple has just entered the War God Ancient Tower?"
Fan Feichen nodded.
"Sect Master Fan, your disciple isn't a Saint Spirit Root either. I'm afraid he won't achieve a very good ranking in this ranking tournament."
Xie Huaian's words were startling.
Fan Feichen was displeased, but did not show it. He merely frowned slightly. "Why?"
Xie Huaian lowered his voice and sent a voice transmission. "I heard that, aside from the Righteous Path Sect, the Red Luan Immortal Sect, and your Mountain-Suppressing Sword Sect, which have no Saint Spirit Root geniuses, each of the other seven sects has one!"
All seven sects had Saint Spirit Root geniuses?
Fan Feichen's brow furrowed even more deeply, and he hurriedly transmitted, "Is this information reliable?"
"Of course it is."
Xie Huaian transmitted in a low voice, "You should know the strength of our Enlightenment Dao Sect. We investigated the backgrounds of every sect long ago."
Fan Feichen suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.
Saint Spirit Root geniuses were indeed extraordinarily powerful, especially those cultivated by great sects like the Enlightenment Dao Sect and the Thunderfire Sect. Their strength was even more terrifying.
Across the entire Eastern Jin, the farther west a sect was located, the less likely it was to possess Saint Spirit Root geniuses.
Naturally, the Beast Taming Immortal Sect was an exception.
Remembering his beloved disciple's astonishing strength, Fan Feichen regained his confidence.
