As this news spread, waves swept through the martial arts world of Sinovera's Imperial Capital, rippling outward. But its influence was ultimately limited—martial artists regularly battle Demons and Specters, and few have the leisure to pay attention to such matters.
At most, they clicked their tongues in mild surprise.
For example, they'd note this as an amusing anecdote, something to bring up over tea... and this, in turn, indirectly proved Andrew Han's status in the martial arts world.
Andrew Han is a peerless Legend, a prodigy of this era!
For him to crush a clan like the Zhuo Family is only natural—not something worth excessive shock or awe.
However, the Imperial Capital gathers countless clans and martial arts sects. Hearing that the Zhuo Family nearly faced annihilation inevitably stirred some complicated feelings among them.
“Still.”
“The Zhuo Family in the Imperial Capital was simply courting death, actually letting Victor Zhuo commit theft from within. Even a fallen martial arts sect, if united, could wipe out the Zhuo Family.” Someone scoffed, disdainful of the Zhuo Family’s vile conduct.
Stealing sect relics is a serious crime.
Victor Zhuo’s death is irrelevant—a mere peak Martial Artist can’t shoulder such responsibility! The Zhuo Family trying to distance themselves from him and shirk blame is nothing but wishful thinking.
The fury of the Martial Arts Alliance is easy to imagine.
“The Zhuo Family is already history.”
“They did whatever it took to prosper, but in the end, they’ll reap what they sow.” Some among the clans even began to feel a trace of pity, sighing with the sorrow of foxes mourning rabbits.
Clans and martial arts sects are fundamentally different.
The former are bound by blood and seniority, focused on immediate interests. The latter are built on martial arts, valuing reputation and long-term growth—this structural difference is the root of their divergence.

Splash, splash.
Late March, the waterfall was tinged with chill, hanging like a Milky Way from the heavens, crashing down onto the dark green boulders below, sending up earth-shaking sprays of water.
Within it stood a single figure—Li Gang.
