"Have you heard? That Xu Nian has appeared."
"Really? He still dares to show up? Where is he?"
"He's in Haohai City, reportedly someone found out he has already killed two Early Stage Immortal Sovereign experts."
"Damn, he killed two Immortal Sovereigns? What is Xu Nian's cultivation level?"
"That's the weird part, he's only at the Mid-stage Immortal King Level."
"A Mid-stage Immortal King killing Immortal Sovereigns? How did he do it?"
...
Xu Nian sat in a tavern in Fengyang City, sipping immortal wine and savoring delicacies made from Immortal Beasts.
Hearing the independent immortals nearby gossiping, Xu Nian found it both funny and frustrating.
When did he ever go to Haohai City?
Moreover, it seemed no one should know about him advancing to Mid-stage Immortal King yet?
The only one who knew, the disciple of the Tianhua Immortal Emperor, had already been killed by Xu Nian.
So it was obvious that the person they were talking about wasn't actually him.
