Death Planet.
Yujing City.
High in the sky, the void opened, and a figure quietly emerged.
He had just raised his hand, preparing to form a Spell Seal.
A voice rang out from afar:
"Sneaking into someone else's home and wreaking havoc-isn't that a little beneath your station?"

Xu Xingke stepped out from behind Sword Maiden, studied the Saint Venerable closely,
