The voice rang out with boundless fury, like an erupting volcano unleashing flames that could destroy the world.
As it reached everyone present, they felt as though thunder had struck them. A deafening buzz rolled through their minds.
The Bronze Gate finally closed completely, its edges fitting so tightly that not even the slightest gap remained.

"There are many things you can only learn once you reach that level. And when you learn them, you'll understand that this world is nowhere near as simple as you imagine."

He felt gaze after gaze settle on him, as though everyone were looking at a rare treasure. An emotion he could not quite name filled their eyes.
Qin An said slowly, "Lord Gu, the battle is over. Let's clear the battlefield."
The place had been as still as dead water, but the moment he spoke, noise returned.
Everyone began talking, and Qin An was the subject of every conversation.
"Who is he? Why have I never seen him before?"
"He must be a newly appointed Mountain Patrol Marshal. Can't you see the Copper Mountain Patrol Marshal badge
