(PS: Sorry, I was dizzy and took a day off yesterday. I'll make up for the days I owe this month.)
In the Third Zone of the Ancient Genius Graveyard, Xiao Ye and his three companions became alert upon seeing the green-robed youth, Tong Zhan, make a move.
With the strength of a Prince Level, even if one proceeds alone, as long as they are cautious, there wouldn't be much danger. Hence, the reason to join them seemed rather far-fetched.
Moreover, with Tong Zhan's capabilities, he should have been considerably famous during the first level, and they should have known him. After all, there were only so few strong practitioners at the Prince Level, and Tong Zhan was not among them.
Most strangely, in the Third Zone's yin wind, even Xiao Ye struggled a bit, having to sustain a protective shield to resist, while Tong Zhan seemed not to require such, moving forward with ease.
