Xiao YiCai slightly bowed, said, “Teacher uncle overstates, disciple dare not”

Tian BuYi indifferently said, “He even told you this et it, this is TongTian Peak’sthe Heaven Secret Seal, “ he paused, in a deep voice said, “This is no trivialYe Founder once co Yun seven branches leaders, not to use unless out of absolute necessity…”

He took a deep breath, said, “The implications of it, all of us understands it very well I just want to ask one question, does DaoXuan senior brother really thought about this carefully?”
