At this moment, atop Mount Tai, at the Jade Emperor Peak, Taoist Xu He stood with Song Ningran protected behind him. He stared at the young man before him and said solemnly, "Tang Liuyun, don't harbor any ill intentions toward this young girl. Behind her stands an Immortal!"
The youth appeared to be in his twenties, with handsome features and a delicate, somewhat sinister charm. His face was pale, devoid of color. He wore a red silk robe, his gaze fixed on Song Ningran, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned in a faint smile.
"Immortal? HAHAHA! Xu He, you've been searching for more than seventy years and still haven't given up? I don't want to waste words with you. Hand the girl behind you over to me, so I can absorb her essence for my cultivation!
"Xu He, I know your old injuries haven't healed, and you can't fully utilize the strength of a Great Grandmaster. You can't stop me. If you don't want to die, step aside, or I'll kill you along with her today!"
