"Master, may I ask why?"
"Whether it's the Sword Burial Sect or the Soaring Sky Dynasty, neither is someone to be lightly offended."
Only after a long while did the shock in their eyes slowly fade. They looked at Bai Yu seriously.
They did not understand why Bai Yu insisted on going after the Soaring Sky Dynasty. With his talent, he could only be described as a monster. Even if he developed steadily, his future accomplishments would still be terrifying. It was not impossible that he could even build a superpower all on his own.
