"Is what you said true? A peak True Qi Realm cultivator not only broke through a peak Gang-Forming Realm martial skill, but killed its user outright?"
Inside the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord sprang to his feet upon hearing Luo Chenxiao's account, finding it utterly unbelievable.
The City Lord looked to be in his forties. His sword-like brows slanted toward the clouds, while his jet-black eyes gleamed with a cold light—contained yet unspent. One glance was enough to tell that his cultivation was unfathomably profound!
"I saw it with my own eyes. I had never seen that set of martial skills before. With a single strike, its qi formed three successive waves, and its power was boundless. It even surpassed Tiger Roar Descends Upon Heaven, the Noble Grade martial skill of our City Lord's Mansion!"
Luo Chenxiao nodded.
"When Cheng'er came back yesterday and told me about it, I already thought that young man was a talent. I just never expected him to be this formidable!"
The City Lord stood where he was, seemingly lost in thought.
"City Lord, should we step in? If we do, the Four Great Families may jointly accuse us of violating the agreement. But if we do not, the young lady seems to have feelings for this Nie Yun..."
Luo Chenxiao voiced his veiled concern.
"What is Cheng'er's relationship with Nie Yun?"
Hearing the old man before him hesitate and stammer, the City Lord frowned.
"The young lady seems... to like this Nie Yun!" Luo Chenxiao spoke his guess aloud.
"Hm! Since she came back last night, she has been full of praise for that boy. The moment she woke up, she insisted on going to see him. How could I not know what she was thinking? Sigh, my Qingcheng has finally grown up!"
