Chapter 554: Chapter 336: Dao Protection

"Elder brother..."

Hearing this meaningful statement, which could even be considered a veiled criticism, the Cloth Sack Arhat and the Pagoda-carrying Arhat furrowed their brows even more severely.

The Peony Fairy was also of the Mahayana Realm, and her cultivation was comparable to theirs. However, she addressed Zhen Yuan as "elder brother," her words not concealing her admiration and protection, and even revealing hostility towards them. Such indirect criticism served as a warning both overtly and covertly.

But why?

Cloth Sack Arhat and Pagoda-carrying Arhat were genuinely perplexed.

One must know that in the path of cultivation, the achieved are revered; dragons do not associate with snakes, and tigers do not walk with dogs.
