Chapter 1235: Qi Jiaoyao
The newcomer did not reveal their true face, which was covered by a Wuist bronze mask that completely concealed their features. This mask could also block spiritual perception and could unsettle one’s mind. Clearly, it was no ordinary item. If not a semi-immortal object, it was at least a top-grade treasure.
This mask was the reason Qi Xuansu thought an Ancient Witch had come to life. However, he quickly dismissed this thought because the black robe was clearly not a typical Wuist attire. Instead, it looked like it was from the Great Xuan Dynasty. In other words, this newcomer was very likely a human.
Entering the Lingshan Paradise was extremely difficult. Even Qi Xuansu had to rely on a pseudo-ascension method to get in. Could this person be from the Yao family?
More importantly, Qi Xuansu had not expected there to be other humans here at all, so he had made no disguise whatsoever and appeared in his true form. Meanwhile, the newcomer had wrapped themself up tightly, as if afraid to show their face.
As a result, Qi Xuansu felt completely exposed. After all, Qi Xuansu was quite famous now, being the youngest Sage of the Daoist Order.
Qi Xuansu did not rush to make a move, nor did he beat around the bush. He asked directly. “Are you from the Yao family?”
The newcomer was clearly taken aback for a moment. Instead of answering directly, they countered, “Who are you?”
This was not mental communication, but in the official tongue of the Great Xuan Dynasty. Clearly, it was not a revived Ancient Witch like Quan. However, the bronze mask concealed the person’s original voice, making it difficult to tell their gender.
Qi Xuansu said in surprise, “You don’t recognize me?”
“Why would I recognize you? Are you very famous?” The newcomer scoffed.
For a moment, Qi Xuansu did not know what to say.
He was certainly famous. The merchants of Lion City had even studied him specifically. Even beyond Nanyang, many knew of him. At present, he was at least on the same level as the Three Daoist Prodigies. While he could not claim that everyone in the world knew him, he was still renowned far and wide. Even the most prominent figures had heard of him, including the Three Deputy Grand Masters, the Great Xuan Emperor, and the Three Great Ancient Immortals.
