"As a dignified Void Sage, aren't you showing a deplorable lack of magnanimity?" Ge Yiming looked at Fang Yun with a cold expression.

"I was sitting in my own home when you came to my door and asked me to betray my country. Not cutting your head off with a single stroke was already magnanimous enough. Remember to tell your uncle that he made a mistake," Fang Yun said.
