"Wait... we can intervene?"
Xiao Yan's eyes lit up. He was instantly interested.
After all, he loved teaching bullies who preyed on the weak a lesson!
"Heh. Of those who can leave their mark on the Space-Time River, which one isn't a peerless powerhouse?"
"A mere Five-Ring Immortal Venerable doesn't even count as dust in the River of Time—unless he was an Immortal King in his youth."
Yuan Heng spoke up with a smile.
Realization dawned on everyone. They recalled crossing the Space-Time River on their way here and seeing those images. Every figure in them had indeed been a peerless powerhouse.
"Great. In that case..."
Xiao Yan was about to step in and show what he could do when a thought struck him. His eyes darted, and an idea took shape.
"Tsk."
A sneer thick with disdain came from the corner where the Heavenly Dao Immortal Sect stood.
It wasn't loud, but in the silent gathering, it rang out like thunder.
Nangong Huang's knife-sharp gaze swept toward it.
A burly young man strode out calmly.
He rolled his neck, joints cracking, his face twisted with the disgust of someone who had spotted something filthy.
It was Shi Huang!
He strode to the edge of the Dao Platform and grinned at Ah Hu.
"Brother, well fought! That's how you deal with shameless scum—quick and clean!"
Then he turned to Nangong Huang, making no effort to hide the contempt in his eyes. "Hey, Nangong clan head or whatever you call yourself. Your Household's exhibition match was so embarrassing I could barely watch."
"Faking it was bad enough, but you can't even take a loss?"
"Swapping the pill right in front of everyone?"
"And planning a sneak attack behind his back?"
"You've disgraced... the entire age with the likes of you!"
