"Stop!"
Following the shout, a burly man emerged from the crowd of onlookers.
He was over two meters tall, with a large, round face covered in a thick, bristly black beard. His arms were brawny, and his build could be described as bearish. The cultivation he exuded was not low—he was already at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer.
As he strode forward, he carried the intimidating presence of a Fierce Beast unleashed from its cage.
"Fellow cultivator, I am Wanlan Shan. I apologize on behalf of my younger brother. Could I ask you to let him off the hook?" the dark-faced man rumbled, his gaze burning as he stared at Lü Zhong, his aura pressing down on him.
Wanlan Shan?
The name sounded familiar to Lü Zhong. Hearing the chatter of the gossips in the crowd, he instantly recalled the man's origins. This was a notoriously ruthless figure from the neighboring Celestial Vast Square.
