The mass exodus of Ninth-Tier Martial Artists from the Martial Soul Hall's main nest naturally couldn't be hidden from the Great Xia Dragon Guard.
However, it was just as Profound Snake had guessed.
Jingtai and the others merely believed it was because those in the Martial Master Realm would be useless in the coming war, so the Martial Soul Hall was dismissing them to cut their losses.
But what Grand Chief Steward Jingtai and the others didn't know was...
...that each of the more than thirty thousand Ninth-Tier Martial Artists carried a potion that gave them an extremely slim chance to break through the Martial Artist realm and become a First-Tier Martial Spirit!
Not long after the experts of the Great Xia Dragon Guard had departed,
the Fourth-Tier Martial Artist, who had been sent near the County City by a Third-Tier Martial Spirit from the Martial Soul Hall to deliver a message to Chu Qingyun, had also entered the city and met with him.
