When Elder Xiao Jingyao appeared, Lin Yi’s eyes narrowed sharply. Sensing the man’s spiritual energy, Lin Yi realized that this Elder was significantly more powerful than Xiao Cheng had been at his peak.
Lin Yi estimated Xiao Cheng’s previous strength to be at the late Xuan Grade, leading him to suspect that Xiao Jingyao might be at the legendary Di Rank. Though he had never encountered a Di Rank cultivator and couldn’t be certain, the intense sense of threat radiating from the elder suggested his guess was likely correct.
The Xiao Family was truly well-hidden. According to Song Yu, Di Rank experts were rare. The Lin Family and the Jin Family of the "Purple Yam Monster" had them, and while Song Yu’s family in the Imperial Capital was powerful, her grandfather was only at the late Xuan Grade. Lin Yi only knew this because he had once bested Song Yu; otherwise, these secrets would have remained hidden. Of course, these old foxes were masters of deception—who knew what their true strength really was? It was entirely possible that even Song Yu’s grandfather had kept his family in the dark.
