Yin Lihuo led the gray-robed Daoist and Qin Yun to a pavilion where they sat down. Maidservants served them tea and pastries while the Ximen family clan elders stood outside the garden to await further instruction. They did not dare disturb Qin Yun and company.
"I'm relieved that fellow Daoist Qin is here," said Yin Lihuo with a smile.
"Daoist Yin, with your strength and the famous Physical Establishing Sage being extremely capable of life preservation, you would even be able to fight existences at the Paramount realm. How were you seriously injured by the great fiendish demon?" Qin Yun asked puzzledly. "Is his strength greater than that of a Paramount realm existence?"
"In terms of strength, he was at best Senior Brother's equal," said the gray-robed Daoist.
"Equal?" Qin Yun was surprised.
