Outside the Bronze Gate, there stood ten people.
Two women and eight men, all middle-aged or elderly in appearance.
Among them, if Li Qian were here, he would recognize one of them as the donkey-riding elder who once bestowed upon him the Great River Sword Qi.
Suddenly, the Bronze Gate began to emit a faint glow.

Suddenly, a strong energy fluctuation burst forth from within the Bronze Gate.
The ten people were well-prepared and did not approach, instead standing at a distance.
Woo... woo... woo...
