Shi Jian had lived for a long time.
A very long time.
In fact, he could no longer recall what was his exact date of birth and how long that he had been alive.
At the higher stages of cultivation, it was possible for one to live for hundreds of thousands of years.
Shi Jian had only lived for a few thousand years but still… there was very little that could surprise him anymore.
But today… he was shocked for the first time in centuries.
The Sect Leader knelt down to get a closer look at the face of the girl who was still unconscious with her chest slowly rising upwards with every breath that she took.
Xu Lu's face… it was… it was… horrible.
Horrific scars criss-crossed the entire surface area of her face as if someone had taken a blade and carved random paths through her flesh.
