"The Western Domain Group, Qiao Chuyu?" Jian Changfeng turned to Zhuge Hong. Zhuge Hong's travels had taken him through most of the Western Domain Group.
Zhuge Hong pondered for a moment, then said quietly, "I've heard a little about Qiao Chuyu. She was once a nobody, but two years ago, I heard she entered a Forbidden Land. When she came out, she rose like an army from nowhere, crushed the Western Domain Group's many geniuses, and became famous far and wide."
"As for Qiao Chuyu's origins, if I'm not mistaken, she comes from the hidden Ancient Martial Gate. Its legacy stretches far back, and it recruits disciples only from the Western Domain Group. Several Half-Step Creation Great Experts live in seclusion within the sect. Its power ranks among the finest even on the True Martial Continent."
Jian Changfeng's eyes widened. Zhuge Hong's words had stunned him. "The Western Domain Group is too mysterious. It even has a hidden sect like that?"
Zhuge Hong shook his head. "That's not strange. Hidden sects exist not just in the Western Domain Group, but all across the True Martial Continent. Changfeng, never underestimate the world beyond. Many reclusive experts train disciples too. Most rarely emerge or concern themselves with worldly affairs. They devote themselves to Ascetic Cultivation..."
"The disciples taught by experts like that are the truly terrifying ones."
At this, Zhuge Hong seemed to recall something. "I once met a Half-Step Creation Great Expert in a desert of the Western Domain Group. That expert had three disciples. Even the youngest was at the Ninth Layer of Saint Martial Realm. I sparred with him, and the result..."
"One move!"
"He defeated me in a single move!"
Zhuge Hong drew a deep breath. He still seemed unable to believe it.
"How is that possible?" Jian
