The Heaven-Hunting Great Emperor did not answer Xu Taiping.
Instead, he asked in bewilderment:
"Xu Taiping, did you... truly come from that insignificant little sect in True Martial Heaven of the Lower Realm?"
Xu Taiping was stunned for only a moment before he understood.

The Heaven-Hunting Great Sage answered:
"See whether any Heaven Shocking Realm cultivator is defending the Ruin Star
