Chapter 5: Sand Bandits and Dongque City

"Was the young master already this powerful upon his initial entry into the Nascent Soul Stage?" murmured Qin Yitian, still immersed in Lu Qingshan's recent display of the Tide-Breaking force, full of astonishment and doubt.

It must be known that Qianliu was not some weak Ordinary Nascent Soul, but a cultivator from a top tier sect, with a superior inheritance, ranked on the Yellow List at the pinnacle of the Nascent Soul Stage.
