The mood wasn't great, but their mental fortitude was strong. Even in this political crisis, they managed to engage in casual banter, even if just superficially.
Zheng Zhong approached, greeting them as equals, and said, "Mayor Hu, the Hall Master is currently meditating and adjusting his qi. If you're not in a hurry, please wait a moment. However, considering the urgency of your situation, perhaps you should follow me ahead?"
His diplomatic abilities were remarkable, and he spoke gently. Noticing the spiritual qi swirling around the Martial Arts Hall, Hu Rui Nian nodded in agreement, "Alright."
The Hall Master of the Immortal Martial Combat Hall, Wang Xuan, at least possessed a cultivation level at the Peak of Divinity Transformation as an Earth Immortal, which earned Hu Rui Nian's respect. If Wang Xuan only had Aerial Cultivation, it would be a different matter.
