Ji Xuankong's expression was equally grim. The domineering presence of the Tianlu Pavilion Master was something he couldn't ignore, even with his status as a Divine Pill Great Grandmaster.

After all, the Tianlu Pavilion had always been the sole Emperor Sect of this Great World, and its foundation was something no individual strength could contend with.

Even if Ji Xuankong himself could disregard the threats from the Tianlu Pavilion, his granddaughter and disciples could not.

Despite his reluctance, Ji Xuankong ultimately chose to take a step back, agreeing to refine two furnaces of Sovereign-level divine pills in exchange for the Tianlu Pavilion not pursuing the matter of Luo Xiu's killings.
