"Marquis, do you know the person down there?" the deputy general asked in confusion.
Huo Qubing shook his head.
"He actually managed to subdue that Female Demon... I thought only the Marquis could restrain her in this world." The scholar in Confucian robes looked at the Mysterious Person clad in the Scorched Black Hat and Robes, shock filling his eyes.
"He is very strong." Huo Qubing spoke in a low voice. "I thought I was the only one in this world to reach that realm... but it seems that is not the case."
"You mean he has reached that realm as well?!" This time, the deputy general's jaw dropped in shock.
Lin Qiye had subdued the female prisoner purely through physical strength, so even they had not detected any Mental Power fluctuations from him. But Huo Qubing's realm far surpassed that of the scholar and deputy general, and he could naturally see that every movement Lin Qiye made carried the aura of the Human Apex.
Huo Qubing silently watched the figure carrying the unconscious female prisoner over one shoulder while dragging several monster heads with his other hand, seemingly deep in thought.
After a long while, he slowly spoke:
"Please come upstairs so we may talk."
Hearing Huo Qubing's voice, the man started walking upstairs. Finding the monster heads somewhat cumbersome, he casually tossed them beneath the tavern before carrying the female prisoner up.
Only when he entered the room did the deputy general and the others clearly see his face, and the shock on their faces deepened further.
Beneath that scorched hat was another young face, one that appeared to be about the same age as their Marquis. A Broken Sword hung at his waist, and his entire aura was restrained, making him seem like an ordinary person.
