Many disciples and elders whose Cultivation Level exceeded Dou Emperor had already vaguely gauged the pressure woven into Xiao Yan's voice.
The owner of that voice was at least a Dou Zun expert, and quite possibly stronger than their own valley master.
"What's been going on in the valley lately?"
The disciples and elders were puzzled. A Dou Zun expert had previously come to the Ice River Valley to discuss something, only to leave in a huff.
This newcomer was even less polite. He had started hurling abuse the moment he arrived, making it clear that he had no intention of showing them any respect.
The elders and disciples of the Ice River Valley found this extremely hard to get used to.
Although the Ice River Valley was the weakest of the Three Valleys, ordinary factions could not compare to it. Whenever its members ventured outside, what faction did not greet them with a few respectful words and a little flattery?
Yet now someone had come straight to their doorstep and hurled abuse at them. Had the man doing the cursing not been so powerful, these elders and disciples would have flown out and smashed him already.
Still, they knew perfectly well that if they showed themselves, a casual strike from him would probably reduce them to ash.
While they were pondering this, an equally immense aura slowly spread through the Ice River Valley. Upon sensing it, the elders and disciples all lit up with delight.
"It's the valley master! The valley master has come out!"
Some of the disciples finally grew excited.
A handsome man dressed in white slowly emerged from the Ice River Valley and walked into the sky, step by step. His leisurely bearing inspired envy, as though he were an immortal strolling through his own courtyard.
