Over the next few days, Xiao Yu returned to his peaceful routine, either cultivating, refining pills, or studying Dou Techniques.
Until five days later.
Xiao Yu was still refining pills when he sensed an immensely powerful aura descend upon Xiao Court.
The aura was formidable. The visitor should have the strength of a Dou Zong, and he was considerably stronger than Yun Shan, whom Xiao Yu had fought before. Even Medusa back then had fallen somewhat short of him.

The Elder of Jia Nan Academy's Inner Academy-Su Qian!
Glancing at the medicinal ingredients in the Medicine Cauldron, which had yet to be fully purified, Xiao Yu withdrew his flames.

His blade-sharp gaze was so cold that it made one's pores tighten.
Moreover, the old man had concealed his aura extremely well. An ordinary person could not sense the terrifying power hidden within
