The Four Symbols Sect's Stance

"It's Guest Elder Ye!"

Someone among the Liu Lineage's guards shouted first, and the local Cangwu crowd watching nearby erupted.

"It's Champion Ye! Champion Ye is here!"

"Outsiders dare throw their weight around in Cangwu? Just wait until Chief Disciple Ye deals with them one by one. Let's see if they're still so arrogant then!"

The crowd's excitement caught like dry firewood. As soon as Ye An appeared, shouts rose one after another.

The smile on Xie Hengzheng's face did not fade when he saw Ye An. It deepened, carrying the pity of someone who thought country bumpkins knew nothing of the world.

"So you're that... Ye An?"

"You look presentable enough."

"But the people of Cangwu praised you to the heavens. Now that I've seen you for myself... you're nothing special."

Xie Hengzheng sneered and signaled to the old man in black. "Elder Mu, today I want him to learn that there's always someone better, and a sky beyond the sky! You know what I mean?"

The old man in black whom Xie Hengzheng had called Elder Mu gave a slight nod. His hawk-like eyes had already locked onto Ye An.

He could clearly sense that Ye An stood among the best of Late Qi Condensation, but had not yet reached Half-Step Qi Gathering.

Elder Mu himself had reached Half-Step Qi Gathering. His partially converted True Essence had long since tempered the meridians throughout his body until they were extraordinarily tough.

With the sophistication of the Xie Family's Martial Arts on top of that, he believed few in Qi Condensation could match him.

This Chief Disciple Ye might indeed have won Cangwu's Qi Condensation tournament, but how formidable could the champion of Cangwu's younger generation really be?

At the end of the day, he was only a young man!
