The Zeng Family had sent six people to meet them, five men and one woman. All appeared middle-aged, but each had a steady aura. Even the Heaven and Earth Essence around them showed no turbulence, settling instead into calm.
Pan Long knew at a glance that they were all advancing from the Innate Realm toward the Return to the Natural State, and each had already made considerable progress in splitting their True Qi.
The strongest among them was the woman whose hair had begun to gray. In her current state, a Four Symbols Truth-Returning Pill would let her attempt a breakthrough immediately, with an excellent chance of success.
The Zeng Family really does deserve its reputation as a Renowned Sect of You Province. They can casually round up six people at the Innate Peak.
No wonder they've never given up on starting a war. All six have a real chance of reaching Returning to the Origin. With the Zeng Family's methods of feeding war with war, one great battle would be enough for at least one or two of them to break through and Return to the Natural State.
To these old hands of the Martial World, virtue, wealth, and reputation are all less reliable than their own strength. An Innate Master lives only a hundred and twenty years, while a True Person often lives two hundred and forty or fifty, if not longer. Seen that way, the Zeng Family's choice really does serve their interests best.
But they care only about their own interests, never anyone else's. The Zeng Family can profit from war and keep growing stronger, but what have the people of the northeast done to deserve it?
The Zeng Family may have left the Demon Gate, but in their bones, they still follow the Demonic Path!
