Tuoba Ye looked utterly unconvinced. "Golden Toad Granny has Gu Arts to conceal herself. Once she dives into this Blood Sea, she's like a clay ox entering the sea. Even someone as powerful as True Lord Haoran couldn't track her down. What could you possibly do?"
Qing Sanxiao, however, spoke up for Qing Chen. "Fellow Daoist Tuoba, you can't put it that way. Sect Leader Qing naturally has his reasons for saying so. As the head of a sect, surely he wouldn't make sport of True Lord Haoran and Flying Bear True Lord?"

Qing Chen did not answer and remained silent for a moment.
To the others, he seemed to have been stumped and was now embarrassed.

Everyone looked closely, only to find his palm empty, with nothing there at all.
