When Guan Zehong mentioned his arch-rival Wu Liao, everyone in the tavern burst into laughter.
The rumor about Wu Liao boasting that he had slain a level-eight Saint-tier demonic beast had been making the rounds among all the cultivators traveling through the Ice Plains lately. Wu Liao was a Star-realm powerhouse who had been famous in the Ice Plains for centuries, so no one believed he could have turned a level-six beast into a level-eight one with his words. And that was not even mentioning the rumors about Chen Xuan, the Evil Emperor, slaying the ancient ritualists.
"Brother Guan, to tell you the truth, we’re just like you—we don't believe for a second that the Evil Emperor Chen Xuan has such immense capabilities. If those so-called ancient ritualists were truly at the Dao Saint realm, how could the Evil Emperor have killed three of them in such a short time? It’s just getting more and more exaggerated with every retelling."
