"Senior Wei of the Azure Spirit Sect?"
"I heard... wasn't the Azure Spirit Sect wiped out by the Demon Cloud Sect? How is Senior Wei still alive? And with a casual strike, he killed that Mountain Ghost Clan Spirit Transformation cultivator..."
The cultivators whispered among themselves, utterly shocked.
For a Void Refinement cultivator to kill a Spirit Transformation cultivator was perfectly normal. But today's battle was somewhat different.
Wei Tu, who had made his move, had only undergone tribulation at One Qi Temple and broken through to the Void Refinement realm a few decades ago.
The Mountain Ghost Clan Spirit Transformation cultivator he had killed, meanwhile, had been at the peak of Spirit Transformation, only a single step away from Void Refinement.
Cultivators differed in realms, true, but no matter what, a newly advanced Void Refinement cultivator should not have been able to casually annihilate a peak Spirit Transformation cultivator with a single strike.
Thus, more cultivators instinctively attributed it to Wei Tu "picking up a bargain" after the Jiang-surnamed cultivator had severely injured the Mountain Ghost Clan Spirit Transformation cultivator. That was the only reason such a breathtaking result had been achieved.
Of course, this thought merely flickered through their hearts. They would never dare spout such nonsense openly.
"This junior, Jiang Huanchen, greets Senior Wei."
"This junior, Ma Youdao, greets Senior Wei."
The Jiang-surnamed cultivator and the burly man with coarse features stepped forward and transmitted their greetings to Wei Tu.
Yet in the next instant, something happened that greatly startled the burly man—this "Senior Wei," an utter stranger to him, turned his head, and his gaze lingered on him far longer than it did on the Jiang-surnamed cultivator.
His heart instantly skipped a beat. He wondered whether he had somehow offended Senior Wei somewhere without realizing it.
