Time slowly trickled away.
After an unknown amount of time had passed,
the gaunt old man finally slowly opened his withered eyelids.
"You've come."
He struggled to speak, his voice harsh like the grating of metal, extremely unpleasant to the ear.
"The Qingxiao Sect of Wanxiang Mountain has entered Great Jin, intending to kill Qin Zheng."
Gao Wuxing spoke with respect.
"Qin Zheng..."
Gao Qiuxian murmured to himself, his slow and rigid thinking seeming to churn in deliberation.
After a moment, he responded, "What are you going to do?"
Gao Wuxing continued, "Delay for one day, to fight for time for the elder ancestor to complete the soul possession."
Gao Qiuxian imperceptibly nodded slightly.
Crack... Crack...
Bones sounded as if they were about to rot away, even a slight movement caused a cacophony of cracking.
"Where is the person?"
Following that, Gao Qiuxian spoke again.
"At Taiwu Academy."
Gao Wuxing respectfully replied.
"Hm?"
