"I will first dismember your limbs, torture you half to death, and then hand you over to Master Xuan Guang," Xiao Gao said with a sinister smile as he approached Qing Yu.
Suddenly, a strong wind whipped up in the sky, followed by the crisp sound of a crane's call, "Li..."
Xiao Gao, recognizing the familiar cry that followed Master Xuan Guang, his patron, hurriedly looked up.
A figure descended from the sky. Mid-fall, he released a Sword Qi that forced Xiao Gao back.
The figure landed between Xiao Gao and Qing Yu, who lay on the ground. Dressed in a white Daoist robe, his face composed, it was none other than Qingzhou.
"Friend, it's best to mind your own business lest you get burned," Xiao Gao said gravely, his eyes fixed on this newcomer who had appeared out of nowhere. Judging by the Qi Mechanism revealed by the other, he was no less than himself—an Innate Expert.
