"Senior, your injuries?" Huang Xiao asked with some concern.
Both Seniors were injured. If they encountered the Longevity Daoist, they probably would not stand a chance.
"My injuries have healed considerably, and I've recovered seventy or eighty percent of my strength. A full recovery probably won't be possible in the short term," Senior Ji said.
Huang Xiao understood this. The more powerful an expert was, the harder it was to recover fully from injuries, and the price they had to pay was enormous, just as with Senior Xuan Yuanjun.
"Then you're much the same as this old man. Our conditions have stabilized for now," Xuan Yuanjun said.
"Senior Ji, can't even the Longevity Chapter help you recover completely?" Huang Xiao asked.
"Certainly not in the short term. My vitality is limited," Senior Ji said. "But you needn't worry too much. Even if I go to the Immortal Spirit Domain, protecting myself won't be a problem."
"What if the Longevity Daoist takes action himself?" Huang Xiao asked.
If it was a puppet, Huang Xiao believed it could not possibly be Senior Ji's match.
The problem was that the Longevity Daoist's whereabouts were unknown, and he could appear at any moment.

"If he's tied up, he should be making preparations to activate the Grand Formation, right?" Huang Xiao asked. "As for severe injuries, that doesn't seem very likely, does it?"
"Anything is possible," Ji Xuanying said. "When the Grand Formation failed back then, he must have suffered a backlash. As for how badly he was injured, there's no way to know. I agree with Xuan Yuanjun. Whatever the reason,
