"Young Master Xu, you aren't a cultivator from Youyun Heaven, are you?"
Amid the biting, blustering wind, Old General Zhang Kaitai also looked down from the city tower, continuing his voice transmission with Xu Taiping without betraying anything.
With battle imminent, the two tacitly refrained from mentioning the Yin Tally again.
"How did you tell, Old General?"
Xu Taiping was somewhat surprised.
"Tianhai Town is thick with turbid qi. No cultivator from Youyun Heaven is willing to come here."
The old general spoke evenly.
"The turbid qi at Tianhai Pass is indeed thicker than elsewhere, but it's still far better than my homeland."
Xu Taiping silently nodded as he replied.
Tianhai Pass's "thin" spiritual qi and "thick" turbid qi were relative to the rest of Youyun Heaven. Compared to True Martial Heaven, its concentration of spiritual qi was already on the level of Vulture Peak; otherwise, trees that tall would never have grown here.
"Your homeland is actually worse off than our Tianhai Pass?"
Old General Zhang Kaitai could not help turning to look at Xu Taiping, his eyes full of astonishment.
In his view, aside from the Demon Abyss, there should have been nowhere with heavier turbid qi than their Tianhai Pass.
"To be frank, Old General, I'm a cultivator from True Martial Heaven."
Xu Taiping ultimately decided to tell him the truth.
"True Martial Heaven?!"
Old General Zhang Kaitai looked at Xu Taiping as though he had seen a ghost.
After hearing A Zhu and her younger brother's account and witnessing that rescue just now, Zhang Kaitai had assumed that even if Xu Taiping was not a cultivator from Chenglong Heaven, he at least came from Jueyun Heaven.
He had never imagined that Xu Taiping actually came from True Martial Heaven.
"Are you disappointed, Old General?"
