And that was not all. Owning a complete sixth-grade equipment set was exceedingly rare, and Nie Li was precisely controlling the force of his blows to torment Murong Yu. He was clearly avenging what had happened in the Ghost Ruins.
Meanwhile, on a distant rooftop, Long Tianming and Situ Beiyan sat on the tiles, drinking wine.
Long Tianming had not expected Situ Beiyan, the sect master's son, to take an interest in Nie Li as well.
Situ Beiyan was not actually all that interested in Nie Li. It was mainly because Long Tianming attached such importance to him that Situ Beiyan had begun paying attention too.
But now, this young man did seem rather interesting.
Long Tianming took a sip of wine and chuckled. Nie Li had only managed to defeat Murong Yu because of his sixth-grade equipment set.
Situ Beiyan did not agree. Nie Li had come from a small world without any backing, yet he had acquired an entire Sixth-Rank Treasure Artifact Set before entering the Eastern Courtyard and had even been accepted as a disciple by the Heavenly Cloud Venerable. How could that not count as ability?
Moreover, he had heard that the faction Nie Li and Gu Bei had established in the Great World had gathered several thousand members in just a few months. It seemed the Great World would become even livelier in the future.
Hearing Situ Beiyan's rather relaxed tone, Long Tianming could not understand it. Should he not be wary of such a genius rising to prominence?
At present, only two people could compete with him for the position of sect master: Situ Beiyan and Li Yufeng. But Gu Bei, who had become the Gu Family's first-in-line successor, Li Xingyun of the Heavenly Path League, and Long Yuyin could not be underestimated either.
