At that moment, the spectral image of the Qingping Sword hung high above Mount Shu.
That alone was already an immense deterrent.
Laozi looked toward Golden Ao Island with a dark gaze.
"Tongtian, are you going to intervene in this too?"
He demanded coldly.
He no longer even addressed him as "third brother," instead calling Tongtian directly by name.
That showed just how furious Laozi was.
Yet after Laozi's words rang out,
it was only a moment later that Tongtian's reply followed.
"Brother Laozi, I have no intention of interfering in the affairs of the Humans."

"Is there anything improper about that?"
As his words fell, all living beings nodded.

As a sect leader, Saint Tongtian was perfectly entitled to do so.
However, some powerful experts grew thoughtful.
They vaguely sensed that Tongtian had placed particular emphasis on Gu Changqing being his disciple.

that a faint, barely perceptible yet meaningful smile had appeared on Gu Changqing's seemingly drunken face.
"Heh... has Master finally begun to change?"
He murmured drunkenly, so softly that only he could hear.
