Accompanied by Zhuge Cang and Wang Changchun, Yang Fei, Helian Rong, Wang Lei, and Xu Jian followed Sect Master Zhang as they hurried toward Central State City.
Half an hour later, Central State City was in sight.
Upon entering the city, the bustling metropolis was exceptionally lively. In taverns and teahouses, discussions were endless. Storytellers, who seemed to have acquired information from mysterious sources about the incidents that had occurred on Qingtian Sect's mountain, spoke with such fervor it was as if they had witnessed the great battle firsthand.
As Yang Fei and his companions passed through the city, some recognized Sect Master Zhang and others recognized Duanmu Fourth Master (Xu Jian), immediately attracting many curious glances.
Soon after, people noticed the captive Wang Changchun and Zhuge Cang, which prompted exclamations of surprise and drew even larger crowds of onlookers. Some boldly inquired with Sect Master Zhang about what had happened.
