As Yu Ran's corpse plummeted from the sky, Fang Qingyuan drew his gaze back from the distant White Mountain.
Whatever was happening on White Mountain, the matter at hand was what was most important.
The White Tiger Star Aspect swooped down, caught Yu Ran's corpse in its jaws, and then returned to Fang Qingyuan's side, head swaying and tail swishing.
He dismissed the Black Tortoise Star Aspect, which had cost an immense amount of primordial qi to summon. Every moment the star aspect existed was a massive drain on the Immortal Mansion Primordial Qi.
Fang Qingyuan gazed at Yu Ran's corpse before him, lost in thought.
He'd been struck by a Godslaying Needle that had been charged for a long time. Normally, with Yu Ran's level of cultivation, it shouldn't have been enough to kill him. However, he had been immersed in an inexplicable sense of sorrow at the time, his guard completely down, which was why the single blow proved fatal.
