A gentle energy dissipated Li Baiyi's sword aura. One of the squinting Great Ascension Cultivators looked alarmed and gestured a thank you towards the void.

"Who are you? Since you're a Saint-Observing Realm cultivator, why sneak around and not show yourself? Are you afraid of offending my Taiyi Dao Sect and the Yang family?" After Li Baiyi's attack was diverted, he sensed the cultivation level of a Saint-Observing Realm.

Seeing the other party unwilling to show themselves, he guessed it was a figure from a major sect, tasked by the immortal lineage to handle this matter.

"This person is a disciple of a friend of mine. I hope you can give me, Li, some face and let her stay," Li Baiyi said with neither humility nor arrogance, pointing at Yang Tianxin, showing no fear even in the face of a Saint-Observing Realm cultivator.
