The Holy Sword Emperor knitted his brows.
His expression starting to get complicated, he said, "S-smoke,..." He almost called out to the Smoke Ancestor directly but managed to stop.
He continued, "Eternal Smoke Venerable, please step back, Eternal Star Venerable is not here."
His tone sounded formal, which was odd considering they had joked a lot in the past.
Hearing that, the Smoke Ancestor who had now become the Eternal Smoke Ancestor also showed a strange expression.
He replied, "I know you're forced to be here... As an old friend, I can help you. How about you stand here."
He pointed to his side.
"I can't," the Holy Sword Emperor replied.
He then took a breath.
"We are old friends, so I will remind you, you better not disturb the Eternal Star Ancestor, you should have heard about his strength."
