Ye Xiwen's overpowering display seemed to stun everyone for a moment. The great battle they had imagined did not erupt immediately; instead, the scene fell silent, quiet enough to hear a pin drop.

The many Great Saints and disciples all watched, waiting to see how this would end. At first, they had not taken Ye Xiwen seriously. They had merely been watching to see when Su Zhenfei would finish the battle. But now that they saw Ye Xiwen could actually contend with him, everyone fell silent.
