The blood rain abruptly ceased, and the gale fell silent.
Yet at this moment.
The thousands upon thousands of Spirit Beasts charging and roaring below seemed to sense some irresistible terror. Every last one prostrated itself on the ground, the myriad beasts falling silent!
Whether it was the surviving Incense Dao cultivators in the city, Li Xiangyun, or the Foundation Establishment cultivators clinging to life inside Prince Gao's Residence, not daring to flee.
Or the many Fourth-Tier Cultivators high above, besieging Tang Ji.
All of them now looked in alarm and uncertainty toward the southern city wall, at the brawny man who had abruptly arrived, his presence so vast that he seemed like a god.
Even from so far away, someone like Li Xiangyun still instinctively retreated several steps.
Her eyes were filled with deep wariness and gravity.
"Who is that?!"
"Is he with the Incense Dao, or our side?"
The dozen or so Fourth-Tier Incense Dao cultivators likewise swiftly exchanged glances.
"He's definitely not from our Myriad Gods Kingdom!"
"I've never heard of him... Great Chu doesn't have anyone like him either..."
Though the Chu dynasty was vast and its high-ranking cultivators countless, every single cultivator who reached the rank of Nascent Soul True Lord was a dragon or phoenix among men. Almost everyone in the public eye was a known figure.
Yet when they compared him against the Great Chu cultivators in their intelligence, none matched.
But judging solely by the strength of the presence spilling from him, he was certainly no newly advanced Nascent Soul cultivator.
This made all the Incense Dao cultivators wary.
A powerful opponent was not frightening; an utterly unknown opponent was.
Among the cultivators present, only Tang Ji, trapped within the Incense Dao cultivators' encirclement, suddenly brightened at the sight of that figure!
