News of Li Yunjing's arrival immediately sent the Primordial Yang Dao Sect into an uproar!

His fearsome reputation for slaying seventh-level nascent soul realm cultivators with only peak golden core realm cultivation had sent tremors through cultivators in every direction.
Even this outdated news had already left everyone dumbstruck.

This was the Primordial Yang Dao Sect's highest ceremonial welcome-the Nine-Ring Burning Heaven Bell.
