Thanks for the chapter! @Maximum He is an elder from one of the 4 Sacred/Holy Lands,
basically the 4 big evils Yun Che has to deal with next, but he will not directly fight this guy's holy land, they will submit to him after a bit of trouble and trials.
@xxxNothingxxx@Maximum No, if memory serves in the novel this guy pitched in in YC's defense too when he was accused by the emperor's son or something, but they skipped that in the manhua, so it became wierd with a plothole. In the previous tournament only the Mighty Sword holy land was supervising,
they become the big baddies in the mortal arc eventually.
