The Heavenly Corpse Old Man revealed a benevolent smile, "Young friend, you jest. I am merely here to join the excitement. As an old bag of bones, fragile as I am to the wind, I have no intention of getting into a fight with anyone."
Indeed, the Heavenly Corpse Old Man had no intention to take action. He bore no life-and-death enmity with Su Changkong, and his presence here was solely due to a transaction with Superior Xuanming, to help him locate Su Changkong.
If Superior Xuanming could have killed Su Changkong, then the corpse would have belonged to him as compensation.
But the outcome was beyond expectation, Superior Xuanming perished under Su Changkong's blade, a powerful being who had mastered a pseudo Divine Skill and cultivated a Blade Soul, suspected to be the reincarnation of a Martial Saint!
