"You ants truly dare to go this far?!"
Laozi had remained silent, but the moment he spoke, countless humans shuddered, their hair standing on end.
Ants!
How merciless, how vicious those words were!
After all, even when Laozi and Yuanshi had fallen out with Gu Changqing and the others,
they had still maintained their outward dignity as Sages before the human race, never displaying such furious exasperation.

"Heh, everything's settled. I'll head back to my Interception Sect... uh... and
