"An ambusher!?"
Purple Flame Immortal King froze briefly, then his expression changed drastically. "You mean... this is a trap? A trap targeting you?" "Whether it is or not doesn't matter. When soldiers come, meet them with generals; when water comes, dam it with earth."
"It was my mistake. How did I fail to realize?

But a Seven-Star!?
A Seven-Star top-tier Immortal King!?
How was that possible!?
No Celestial Immortal, however powerful, could
