Cai Li said calmly, "His Sword Technique has truly improved by leaps and bounds these past few years."
A hint of gratification could be heard in her voice.
'It seems Lao Qi hasn't wasted his time these past few years.'
"That's pure talent!" Elder Xiao Qi sighed. "In the face of true talent, hard work and bitter training are hardly worth mentioning!"
Cai Li just smiled faintly, remaining noncommittal.
Xiao Qi's gaze fell upon the massive crater. "I wonder why those four Tier Three Demons are taking so long to show themselves."
Cai Li stared into the depths of the crater and said in a low voice, "Soon."
Xiao Qi frowned. "I have a bad feeling about this, Fellow Daoist Cai. Don't let your guard down later."
"Of course," Cai Li nodded.

Beyond the Demon-Exorcising Platform, at the edge of the massive crater, Chen Yu Yan and numerous other Inner Sect Disciples used various techniques to fend off the demons swarming from all corners of the third level.
