Bai Shoudao's gaze paused slightly at those words, settling on Bai Yi's calmly smiling face.
In just a few short decades, it seemed that a whole world had come between him and the White Household's prodigy.
Single-handedly defeating countless prodigies in the Six-Celestial City selection, then forcing his way into the inner city of Domain-Suppressing City.

"I comprehended Sword Intent!"
