Back then, the Xu and Liu families had faced off against the Chen and Qiu families. The Qiu Family withdrew without a fight. Facing a joint pincer attack, the Chen Family's main force was annihilated, but a few members still managed to escape.
This person was one of them.

The Xu Family's upper echelon faced the situation grimly. They had just set foot on a grand path and could not afford to be tripped up by a careless mistake.
