Murong Qingcheng gently exhaled a stale breath, then stepped down from the Battle Arena as well.
At that moment, her expression looked rather grim.
Although her cultivation level was somewhat lower than Dugu Yijian's, the gap between their actual strength was enormous.
She had to admit that, aside from Chen Wen, Heavenly Ruins had produced quite a few monstrously powerful talents.
Even though she came from the Outer City, she had to acknowledge that fact.
Before long, Murong Qingcheng returned to the group.
Murong Qingxian patted Murong Qingcheng's shoulder and said, "Take it slowly. Once you've absorbed the Holy Spirit Leaf and returned to the lineage to receive your inheritance, you'll definitely catch up."
"Ultimately, strength isn't determined by cultivation level or age."
"But those are still objective factors. I believe your future self won't be inferior to anyone."
Chen Wen wholeheartedly agreed with Murong Qingxian.
In terms of talent, Murong Qingcheng wasn't necessarily any worse than Dugu Yijian.
But the clear, objective fact was that Dugu Yijian was both older and further along in cultivation than Murong Qingcheng.
So it wasn't impossible for Murong Qingcheng to catch up in the future.
"Don't worry. I'm not so fragile that this would throw me off balance."
Murong Qingcheng nodded, then took another deep breath. "But Heavenly Ruins really has produced quite a few geniuses this time."
Zhuge Qiyue nodded too. "That Bai Beichan looks pretty strong to me, and so does the one called Buyetian."
"Those four hold the top four spots on the Heavenly Ruins Disciple Ranking. I'd never heard of them before this."
Then Chen Wen shifted the subject. "I asked the ancestors of Ye Tian City, but even they couldn't be certain where those people came from."
This...
Murong Qingcheng and Murong Qingxian froze.
They were no fools,
