Just as Yuan Jue was taking Li Yun to the warehouse.
Another group of people suddenly arrived in Sparrow Emperor County.
Every one of them wore crimson long robes, bright as fire, with a particularly conspicuous Mountain and Flame Overlapping Emblem on their bodies.
"Supreme Mountain!"
"Why had Supreme Mountain's powerhouses suddenly come here?"
"Hiss... judging by their intentions, they seemed to be heading for Four Directions Guest?"
The arrival of this group instantly threw Sparrow Emperor County into an uproar.
Everyone knew that in the south of the Ancient Celestial Continent, the Supreme Mountain Li Huo Palace was the supreme existence, like an emperor seated high above, looking down upon the entire Southern Land.
Yet it was exceedingly rare to actually see Supreme Mountain powerhouses descend upon the county.
In fact, the last time Supreme Mountain powerhouses had come to Sparrow Emperor County had been forty years ago.
For many ordinary people, and even martial artists below the Innate Realm, forty years was already most of a lifetime. Some of those who had witnessed Supreme Mountain powerhouses arrive in Sparrow Emperor County forty years ago had long since turned into a handful of yellow earth.
Those who had been children back then were now middle-aged people in their forties or fifties, gradually entering old age.
But no matter what.
The might of the Supreme Mountain Li Huo Palace was unquestionably feared, and it had sunk deep into people's hearts.
Just like forty years ago.
A Supreme Mountain Elder had descended upon Sparrow Emperor County and sought marriage with the Sparrow Emperor Clan, then the county's greatest family. When he failed, the entire Sparrow Emperor Clan mysteriously vanished within a mere month, while the properties they left behind were carved up clean in an instant.
How terrifying was that?
