After a moment of silence, Bai Ancestor said, \"Have you met the Lifeless True Saint?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Daoxin instantly looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He already knew why the Bai Family’s Ancestor was supporting him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ancestor, have you also felt the presence of the Lifeless True Saint?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, originally Bai Mingxing said he would support you, but the family actually did not, until I heard that you sensed the Lifeless True Saint from the Void.

Okay!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bai Family’s Ancestor agreed instantly without any hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he still asked one question in the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is the Chaotic Realm really that powerful, that even the Federation’s technology cannot combat it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Daoxin hesitated for a while, then finally spoke the truth:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In truth, it cannot be completely certain, but I have an intense unease in my heart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bai Family’s Ancestor did not say much else, nor did he change his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Daoxin did not mind either;
