When he saw Ji Yuan's reaction at this moment, his mind was filled with only one thought, and that was... this Elder Qiu actually wasn't afraid of that Celestial Silkworm Zhenren.
What does this imply?
It implies that he is definitely also a Golden Core Zhenren!
Upon this thought, Hu Li set aside all other concerns, looked at Ji Yuan in front of him, and spoke with a laughing tone through transmission: "Just joking, just joking, this Young Master Jiang is an outsider, he's from Shangxi."
"But with the elder, it's different. We are fellow townsmen, we're our own people."
Ji Yuan chuckled without speaking, simply channeling a trace of Spiritual Qi into the Yin Ghost Sect Ring worn on his hand.
In an instant, a mist like a thin veil enveloped his entire body, and his aura suddenly changed, exuding a faint, imposing kingly presence directed at Hu Li.
"Ah—"
Startled, Hu Li instinctively shrank back and took several steps back before steadying himself.
