"Th-this man is...?!"
"Huh? You know this terrifying-looking fellow?"
"You don't know? Didn't you follow what happened to the Mittel Family three days ago?"
"You'll have to forgive me, brother. I wasn't in the Imperial Capital three days ago, so I've only heard a little about it. But what does this man have to do with the Mittel Family? Could you explain?"
"All right, I'll tell you. This is the very man who appeared that day alongside the current Lord Ice Sect. Even Lord Ice Sect treated him as a subordinate would his superior. You can imagine what that means-he must be at least a Dou Zong!"
"Gasp! So that's how it is! No wonder Sect Master Yun Yun acted like this. The Pill King really doesn't measure up to a powerhouse like him. It looks like Pill King Gu He will lose every scrap of face today."

Hun Changqing felt a headache
