High above the nine heavens, those star-like eyes quietly watched Elder Xu.
Calm, indifferent, as though looking at an ant that had wandered into a palace.
Elder Xu's legs were trembling uncontrollably.
The thoughts in his head were a tangled mess, too...
What cultivation realm was an existence like this in...?
A Golden Immortal? No, he had seen Golden Immortals.
An Immortal King? He dared not guess.
But why would an existence like this touch those lousy demon beasts of his?
What did Fourth Tier and Fifth Tier demon beasts amount to in the Immortal Realm? They were considered too pathetic even to serve as mounts.

Si Chen shook his head.
"Take your time."
Elder Xu drew a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
