The marquis's manor.
"You're saying that wave from the great sun just now was Jiang Ning?!!"
Shen Wenyuan stared at Ye Zhengqi, who had just arrived at his door, his eyes filled with shock.
"Yes!" Ye Zhengqi nodded. "I saw him unleash the Sun Suspended in the Sky Conception with my own eyes. He defeated Nan Zhiwei with ease."

Red clouds filled the sky. The
