Surrounded by so many people—and with the ones questioning them being Inner Sect Disciples of Divine Water Immortal Palace's Long River Hall—how could Lian Yun Kong and Ji Lan dare disobey?
On top of that, both of them felt that since Li Yun was already a True Disciple of Great River Hall, there was nothing particularly serious about telling the story of their encounter on Second Island.
If anything, it would make Li Yun's genius stand out even more.
And so, the two recounted how they had met Li Yun, only concealing the part where Li Yun had crushed and killed an Earth Immortal Ninth Layer during Second Island's Immortal Array trial.
After everyone present heard it, not one of them wore a normal expression.
Damn it, what the hell?
They had thought he was some extraordinary figure from who knew where, only to find out he was actually just a lowly immortal who had flowed upstream from a Yellow Grade World?
That was right.
Out of the deeply rooted habitual thinking where those born in Heaven Grade Worlds looked down on Earth Grade Worlds, Earth Grade Worlds looked down on Mystery Grade Worlds, and Mystery Grade Worlds in turn looked down on Yellow Grade Worlds, once everyone present learned Li Yun's origins, not only did they feel no admiration, they instead all felt contempt and disdain.
The Heaven Immortal from Long River Hall who had questioned Lian Yun Kong and the other even put away his smile and turned to leave, his earlier beaming enthusiasm completely gone.
It was as if saying even a few more words to them would be a desecration of him.
The others also smiled and soon dispersed.
But one low, disdain-filled mutter after another still clearly entered Lian Yun Kong and Ji Lan's ears.
