The elder named Qing Yue was suddenly awoken, a wry smile crossing his weathered face as he said, "The blood-colored figure is indeed the one who injured me. Merely a casual hit from him and I was gravely injured, unable to fight!"
What!
The other elders exchanged shocked glances upon hearing this. Although Elder Qing Yue was not the most powerful among them, he had reached the peak of the mid-phase of the Blood Refining Realm.
Merely a casual hit had him gravely injured. Thus, the blood-colored figure must be a warrior in the late phase of the Blood Refining Realm. Besides the Grand Elder, no one here could match him. Initially, they assumed they could handle him, but the words of Elder Qing Yue shattered their hopes.
