Experts—there were more experts!
Ji Yuan first glanced at Heavenly Silkworm True Person, who seemed to have pushed himself to the limit. His body was shriveled, his face pitch-black, and even the Heavenly Net in his hand had gone dull.
In that state, forget surviving another clash between Golden Core True Persons.
He probably could not even defeat someone at Peak Foundation Establishment.
The thought flashed through Ji Yuan's mind before he turned toward the figure who had landed beside him.
The newcomer was an old man in gray cloth robes. He was slightly hunched, but unlike Mourning Eccentric, he carried no cane. Instead, he stood with his hands behind his back, looking rather dignified.
Of course, it was mainly the way he had arrived in a streak of light that made Ji Yuan think so.
Sensing the vast, ocean-like aura emanating from the old man, Ji Yuan ventured, "Might you be Senior Icefire?"
Without waiting for an answer, he added, "My surname is Li."
Ye Zhiqiu's heart gave a jolt at those words. She did not dare glance at Ji Yuan, though, and kept her expression perfectly composed.
She had traveled the world for years, managed by luck to reach Peak Foundation Establishment, and even obtained a secret inheritance.
They were all smart people.
Whether the man before her was surnamed Qiu or Li, he had saved her life.
That was enough.
"Oh? You're from the Li Family?"
Icefire Old Man looked Ji Yuan up and down.
"That's right."
Ji Yuan felt relieved at once. He first put Heavenly Silkworm True Person away, then took a token from his Storage Bag and said respectfully, "My surname is Li, and my name is Changshou."
"Li Changshou? Not a bad name."
Icefire Old Man swept the token in Ji Yuan's hand
