When the sect elder sensed the tense atmosphere between Tian Yang and Ren Xia from afar, she thought about approaching them but hesitated.
Just as the sect elder took a step forward, Tian Yang suddenly released a chuckle.
His voice was calm, yet there was an undeniable confidence in his tone.
"You'll capture me and gift me to the Immortal Gu Clan? Sorry, but I don't think you're qualified to do such a thing."
Ren Xia frowned, and her eyes narrowed.
"What did you just say? I'm not qualified?" she repeated, her tone turning sharp. "Who do you think you are?"
"You were just a peak Spirit King fifty years ago," she stated. "I don't know what happened inside the mountain, but I highly doubt you've managed to surpass me in cultivation in such a short time."
Ren Xia's cultivation had already reached the peak of Divine Lord when she first met Tian Yang inside Han Zexian's Tomb.
