The four men were tall and broad, each clad in specially made leather armor. Their bodies radiated waves of immensely powerful true qi.
Judging by their auras, there was no doubt they were all late-stage Kings!
One of them had an aura remarkably similar to Tuoba Yu's, whom Lu Yang had met before.
Another's eyes and brows bore a six- or seven-tenths resemblance to Murong Xingyue, who had refused him earlier.
Lu Yang guessed that these people were probably from the Four Great Families.
However, night had fallen, and Vengeful Spirits had already begun appearing in the wilderness.
