"Oh, do you have news, brother? Has someone achieved something even more dazzling than the Evil King?" someone asked, aghast.
"Was it the Formless Sword, the Daluo Demonic Maiden, the Infallible Calculator, the Wolf King, or the Sword Monarch?" The man rose to ask, greatly flattering the richly dressed young gentleman.
"Heh, none of them. The Evil King himself has accomplished something even more astonishing."
"He stormed Xingyun Manor alone and challenged the former number one on the Human Ranking, the Formless Sword, as well as the Infallible Calculator Wang Siyuan and the Guardian at his side," the richly dressed gentleman said, opening his folding fan.
"But when did the Young Master of the Wang Family go to Xingyun Manor?" someone asked in confusion.
"He's the Infallible Calculator. How would people like us know what he's thinking?"
"True enough. That's the Wang Family of Jiangdong for you." Someone nodded.
"And guess what happened next!" At this point, the richly dressed gentleman deliberately kept them in suspense.
"Oh, just tell us! You're killing us here!" It was not only that one man listening. Many martial artists without ready access to news had gathered around him.
"Did the Evil King die?" someone guessed.
"The Evil King grew arrogant, challenged an expert of the Exterior stage, and met an untimely end, becoming the shortest-lived number one on the Human Ranking!" someone else speculated.
"Close. He really did leave the Human Ranking, but not that way. The Evil King ascended to heaven in a single step, underwent four calamities, and entered the Exterior stage. He's no longer an expert on the Human Ranking!" The richly dressed gentleman shook his head with a self-satisfied air, as though he had been the one to ascend to heaven in a single step.
"That's obviously a huge difference!"
