Meng Qi did not know Longevity Sage's foundation but he knew the Sage could not be a simple character as he was able to oversee predestined lifespans and leave behind a reputation in a time where immortals were everywhere.
Right at this very moment, the Sage was found with his skull split open, magnifying the distance between his eyes as he "looked" at Meng Qi and Gu Xiaosang. The emotion frozen on his expression was neither shock nor astonishment, despair nor fright. Rather, it was a mask of apathy as if not even death could disturb the tranquility of his mind. Perhaps, he merely lacked the time to react.
No matter how experienced and knowledgeable Meng Qi was, the Sage's stare nevertheless terrified him. However, he could not afford to concern himself with this. The 'strange shadow' of the Peach Garden was now almost at his back, breathing sinisterly cold air down his neck.
