Xu Ying stood stunned, unsure what had happened that could possibly make these several Dao Masters of the Dao Realm help them deal with the Dao Venerable.
He immediately came to his senses and asked rapidly, "Grandmaster, could it be that after you went to the Dao Realm, you discovered that the Dao Venerable truly had mastered Nine Dao Verification?"
