At the critical moment, the Piaomiao Sect's six Emperors struck together, barely managing to block the attack this time.
In midair, a young man in white gazed coldly down at the six Emperors.
He said calmly, "I heard that the Piaomiao Sect's eldest senior brother happened to obtain a metal-attribute Supreme-Grade Throne. I'd like to borrow it to play with for a couple of days. Would that be possible?"
Fang Tian, a peak Emperor, snorted coldly. He had already drawn his sword and unleashed a powerful Combat Technique at the man in midair. "Hmph, dream on! My son's opportunity isn't something you can just borrow because you ask. You're merely a Void Venerable. Do you really think you can run wild in my Piaomiao Sect?"
The man in white snorted disdainfully. He actually caught Fang Tian's full-strength Combat Technique with his bare hand, then crushed the sword light formed from vast Spirit Power with a slight squeeze.
He smiled faintly. "The Void Venerable Realm is indeed nothing remarkable, but there are differences in strength even within it. As for me, I've merely chosen to remain in this realm for certain reasons."
"Enough. Stop wasting time. If the metal-attribute Throne weren't useful to me, I wouldn't have come to your weak little sect, with only a single Void Venerable Realm ancestor guarding it."
As he spoke, he slowly removed the white glove on his left hand, revealing an ancient symbol on its back that meant twenty-four.
At that moment, everyone was shocked by that number.
Taking the man's appearance and clothing into account, Fang Tian seemed to finally remember who he was.
He exclaimed, "You're Shi Honglei!"
"What? He's Shi Honglei?"
"The White-Robed Sword Venerable who once ranked twenty-third on the Aptitude Rankings!"
Some cultivators who had only heard his name
