"Shameless!"
Yun Guangming cursed inwardly. Somehow, many outsiders had appeared behind them at some point. At the crucial moment, Shen Yi had chosen to admit defeat, completely strangling Yun Guangming's chance to continue fighting. Whether it was coincidence or premeditation, Yun Guangming could not make another move against Shen Yi today. It left him somewhat dispirited.
"Brother Shen truly lives up to his reputation!"
Yun Guangming composed himself and put on a broad smile. While praising Shen Yi, he removed the corpse poison from him. Everyone behind them showered him with praise, saying that Yun Guangming possessed the bearing of a great man, upright and aboveboard, worthy of sincere friendship.
Yet Yun Guangming could not bring himself to feel happy. Today had truly been a missed opportunity. Still, it was not without gain. Shen Yi gave him the impression of being arrogant and overconfident despite having mediocre cultivation. It seemed the Fengdu Five Tigers were merely famous in name, which was what had allowed Shen Yi to succeed.
Among the crowd were several disciples of the Corpse Herding Sect. Seeing Shen Yi fight Yun Guangming to a draw, only to ultimately lose by a single move, they were all greatly shocked. Then, seeing Yun Guangming greet Shen Yi with a smile from beginning to end, they could not help but question Shen Yi's identity. They silently committed the name Shen Yi to memory, intending to get closer to him in the future.
By now, the crowd had grown ever larger. Yun Guangming no longer had room to strike ruthlessly. He could only bid everyone farewell and choose to leave. As for whether Shen Yi stayed or went, he did not particularly care. Still, for the sake of maintaining his image, he politely made a token inquiry.
