Based on this display, Xinghu was likely just one step away from the late-stage Nascent Soul realm!
'A formidable foe...'
Shishanzi sighed inwardly.
Still, he cupped his hands in a salute and said,
"Fellow Daoists, I am Shishanzi."
"Nanshan, it has been many years since our trip to the Cloud Cliff Sea Region…"
Shishanzi smiled, making pleasantries and trying to build rapport.
"Shishanzi, long time no see… I still vividly remember our travels in the sea region, when we joined forces with several other Daoists to slay the Nine-headed Serpent Emperor."
Nanshan cupped his hands, his attitude gentle and humble.
He and Shishanzi had some shared history.
Xinghu, however, remained expressionless. Showing no interest in pleasantries, he cut right to the chase. "Did you have a hand in the Grotto Heaven's early arrival?"
As he spoke, an invisible pressure spread out!
TWANG.
The sound of a zither rang out.
Qixia's brow furrowed slightly as her fair hand plucked the strings.
