All at once, every head turned toward the sound.
Over on the other side of the tavern, near the bar, a tall, square-faced young man slowly rose to his feet.
He was dressed in a simple, gray Cultivation Robe. Slung across his back was a weapon wrapped in thick cloth, looking thicker and heavier than a typical staff.
His features were plain, but his eyes were shockingly bright, as if two inextinguishable flames burned within them.
The moment he stood, an immensely powerful and incredibly pure aura radiated from him.
"It's Qin Yonglin!"
"Qin Yonglin, the Staff Fool!"
Someone in the crowd immediately recognized him, letting out a soft gasp.
This was the very same Martial Fool, Qin Yonglin, who had previously crushed Qin Feng's ultimate killing technique, Qian Yuan, with his superior Celestial Essence Staff technique in the Imperial Arena!
The atmosphere, already as taut as a bowstring, didn't lessen when Qin Yonglin stood. Instead, it grew even sharper.
