At that thought.
A chill ran down the Blue Fox Ancestor's spine.
His hopes of claiming a reward instantly turned into boundless terror.
"Exalted immortal..."
The Blue Fox Ancestor lay prostrate on the ground, his voice trembling with tears.
"The fortunes and lives of my entire family, young and old, all depend on True Person Wang..."
