"What keen perception, kid." As the voice carried through, an elderly crone slowly walked out from behind a tree.
Upon seeing the elder, Lin Chen's expression changed slightly.
Actually, Lin Chen hadn't sensed the elder's presence at all; it was his consciousness, Xiao Shuai, who reminded him.
Judging by the aura emanating from the elder, the opponent seemed to be a high-level cultivator of the Divine Pulse realm, far surpassing him.
In fact, he had noticed this elder during the competition, but he didn't expect the elder to be waiting for him here.
"Senior, do you need something from me?" Lin Chen greeted with cupped hands and a polite smile.
The crone smiled faintly: "I am Qiu Yun, an elder of Shushan. I'm here to settle a score with you."
"Settle a score? Senior, you must be mistaken. I don't know you; how could we possibly have any scores to settle?"
Qiu Yun snorted coldly: "You should remember Li Meng, shouldn't you!"
