Immortal-Welcoming Valley was Quiet.
People looked at Jing Jiu and the Green-Curtain Sedan, their faces filled with shock and bewilderment. They found this utterly absurd.
Slightly angry, Nan Wang asked what everyone present wanted to ask: "What nonsense are you up to? How can a Green Mountain disciple fight for another sect?"
