After he left, Yu Dao and Yan Ruize got together again.
"So, what do you think? Anyway, I thought it seemed somewhat remarkable," Yu Dao said.
"Yes, I feel the same. But just by looking, we can’t tell much. Only through actual combat can we know his true degree of capability," Yan Ruize replied.
In fact, it wasn’t just the two of them; other elders from the Golden Saber Institute and Wunian Academy shared similar thoughts.
Of course, there was no contempt or deliberate suppression involved.
After all, most of the martial artists present were people of status, and Lu Dingtai had come to assist them. Even if they had some doubts, they kept them to themselves without voicing them.
Meanwhile, the news that Zhao Ya’s master, Lu Dingtai, had come to assist spread rapidly.
Wei Family.
The atmosphere in the room was extremely solemn. Even the normally flamboyant patriarchs from noble families were sitting upright, not daring to utter any superfluous words.
Xie Tianfeng glanced at the message he received, gave a slight smile, and then tossed it onto the table. He then turned to ask the elders of the Profound Sun Sect,
"Is this Zhao Ya the main force opposing our Profound Sun Sect previously?"
"Yes!"
"What is his strength?" Xie Tianfeng asked.
In an instant, all eyes converged on one elder.
Wu Dalun, with a look of shame, responded, "Back to the Sect Leader, I have clashed with this young man once and was thoroughly defeated. It’s also rumored that he once bested a Meridian Opening expert from Beyond the World, which shows his strength."
"People from Bright Moon Valley, yes, I know! That was just a useless person with two meridian openings, not worth mentioning. But by what you say, this Zhao Ya indeed has some skill."
Xie Tianfeng’s expression grew slightly more serious. "His master must also be quite extraordinary. When the time comes, I will personally see how capable he is."
Having just opened several more meridians, Xie Tianfeng was full of confidence. That he would deign to handle it personally was already giving the other party great honor.
At the same time, Yan Sifu and the people from Washing Sword Manor reacted differently upon hearing the news.
However, most didn’t take it too seriously.
After all, given the chaos to come, unless one had supreme strength to dominate all others, it was already difficult to change anything with just personal power.
The night grew deeper, and the wind became stronger.
In Yan Capital City, households bolted their doors and shut their windows, and even the night watchman was nowhere to be seen.
Yan Xizhao stood at the highest point of Washing Sword Manor, gazing at the Yan Capital City shrouded in darkness, feeling as if it were a colossal ship struggling through a stormy sea.
No one knew how many would not see the sun after tonight.
Just then, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared somewhere in Yan Capital City.
Yan Xizhao’s eyes narrowed slightly, recognizing it was in the direction of the Wei Family, evidently, they had taken action first.
"Officers!" Yan Xizhao coldly called out.
"Present!" came the uniform response from the training ground.
Yan Xizhao slowly raised his sword, pointing forward, "March with me!"
"Yes, sir!"
The elite force surged toward Yan Capital City like a tide.
Simultaneously, shouts and cries of battle resonated through Yan Capital City, marking the commencement of an unprecedented war since the city’s founding.
At this moment, a figure swiftly streaked across the night sky, landing atop a tree, gazing at the gradually boiling Yan Capital City with eyes filled with murderous intent.
Those with vendettas, settle them; those with grievances, resolve them.
Everything was to be settled tonight.
With this thought, the person took a deep breath, feeling as though the starlight filled their dantian with power.
With a slight tap of the toes, the tree branch trembled almost imperceptibly.
Then he vanished behind the city wall.
