Everyone followed her gaze and saw, in the distance, a distinctively dressed procession heading toward the arena where they stood.
The man at the head rode a Unicorn Elephant, a beast notoriously difficult to tame. The fact that he rode a Demon Beast showed that the newcomer was no ordinary figure.
A major figure behind the Six Great Families had appeared. It was unclear whether he was from the Dynasty or from the Cultivation World.
"A Return to Void True Lord, likely at the late stage." Dugu Zixuan saw through his cultivation at a glance.
"Mm..." Lin Heng nodded. "Then there's no doubt about it. He's from a Cultivation World faction. The Dynasty's people wouldn't be this high-profile."
"Mom, Master... hide your realms for now. Let's see what tricks he's trying to pull."
Meng Yutong and Dugu Zixuan looked at him in unspoken agreement. Without asking further, they immediately cast spells to disguise their auras.
They were not completely concealing themselves, merely suppressing their realms so the other side would think they were minor cultivators.
The Unicorn Elephant led the way, and the townspeople along the road consciously made way for it. The man looked very young; setting aside his cultivation, his face made him seem no different from a young man in his twenties.
Cultivators, after all—even women could be ravishing as paintings, and men could naturally be refined and elegant.
Not everyone enjoyed pretending to be old and profound.
"Who are these people? They're even riding a Demon Beast. How imposing..."
"From the looks of it, they're heading for the people at the arena. Shiyang Town hasn't been this lively in years. They're either here to cause trouble or to take part in the Martial Examination."
"Could they be people of the Martial Path?"
"..."
