The instant people recognized him, the gathered geniuses erupted in shock.
"H-he is Xian Li... the Spear Demon of Boundless Martial Palace!"
"Heavens, what is he doing here?! He is ranked thirty-third on the Hidden Dragon Ranking!"
"I heard his recent strength has already risen close to the level of the top twenty!"
"Did he come for Li Yun? If so, Li Yun is finished. No matter how monstrous he is, how can he compare to someone like Spear Demon Xian Li?"
"That is true. Xian Li entered the fifth level of the Essence Qi Realm long ago."
Shock spread through every corner of the Tea Ceremony.
The arrival of the flying boat from Boundless Martial Palace had already shaken the entire gathering, but the appearance of Xian Li elevated that shock to an entirely different level.
For many disciples present, the Hidden Dragon Ranking was a symbol beyond ordinary imagination.
