She suddenly shtly and spoke to the elderly merchant, ”This Sir!”

These merchants were just ordinary commoners, naturally they would not be at the actual scene but hearsay was created because of this In addition, those Good Faction cultivated masters had always been very secretive so it was the best topic for these coossip about
As they chat along, a few of those young guys’ voices becaan to pay attention to it
”anyway, at that tier, luckily DaoXuan the old ihtly dabbed with his fingers, i with thunder crash ca sound was heard within the vicinity of hundred of miles, this then made the Evil Faction retreated!”
