Who Ambushed Whom

What a grand show of force!

The martial cultivation level of this world was far below that of Forty-Nine Immortal City.

"It is not about what you have on you, but where you came from!" said one of the Li Family's Grand Elders in a grave voice.

Zhou Heng grew even more curious. "You suspect my origins? Hahaha, I thought no one in this world knew they were frogs at the bottom of a well. I never expected you to have such an awakening!"

He knew full well this was a trap, yet
