Chapter 23: Like Building
Tie Dan got up from the ground, glanced at the mixed cultivation young master impaled on his sword and pinned to the wall, his eyes remaining open in death, then turned his head to survey the loft.
This mixed cultivator really had quite a collection of miscellaneous items.
