Jiang Lu and Moral Heavenly Venerate had withdrawn their Dharma Forms, and then slowly descended atop the city wall.
Companions flocked to express their concern, among them three women who were particularly worried, pulling Jiang Lu here and there, checking him over to see if he had sustained any injuries.
Ayin watched from a distance, sizing up this once Lord of the Netherworld whose reputation he had long heard of but had never met.
"I heard that this lord is also an Abstraction Master in the same league as me, but I wonder if the old abstraction can match up to the current one."
Ayin stroked his chin, muttering to himself,
"The times have changed... Although I acknowledge the method you just used against my master, it was justifiable as you had no other choice, but whether you behave like this in real life or it is just a stunt to attract attention, that I'll have to study and observe further..."
Meanwhile, an unexpected incident occurred elsewhere.
