The vision of all three men blurred; they hadn't seen how this person had appeared at all. Such a feat proved he was someone they stood no chance against.
"Lord Xiqi Leopard? What are you doing here?"
Nether Fire's face paled in alarm. He quickly bowed, then carefully voiced his question.
Xiqi Leopard ignored him, instead turning to Fang Qingyuan.
"Young Friend Li, it wasn't convenient for me to appear earlier. I hope you don't mind."
Fang Qingyuan nodded, accepting the apology. 'Xiqi Leopard probably held back because he wanted to gauge my combat strength,' he thought. 'Who would have thought that Withered Bones and Nether Fire would lose their nerve and not dare to make a move in the end.'
'It's clear now that Nether Fire recognizes this man, while Withered Bones just looks on with deep apprehension. If Xiqi Leopard hadn't been here, he would have fled long ago.'
"You two can go. Young Friend Li and I have something to discuss."
