Everyone in the audience was stunned.
They clearly hadn't expected the old woman to say such things.
But the old woman paid them no mind.
She continued, "That young upstart slanders Cultivators, but in my humble opinion, for him to resist Cultivators with his pathetic bit of power is like an ant trying to shake a great tree!"
"Furthermore, that 'Martial Scripture' he's promoting is, as I see it, an evil book that is heretical and goes against the laws of heaven!"
She spoke with eloquence, trampling Li Chang'an and his Martial Scripture into the dirt. She stopped just short of pointing a finger in Li Chang'an's face and cursing him out.
At some point, the crowd below the stage had fallen silent.
The old woman didn't notice anything amiss at first, but as she went on, she realized no one was making a sound. She looked up and saw a handsome, elegant young man standing not far from her.
