At this moment, within the Defensive Barrier, there were a gathering of around a dozen cultivators, each dressed in the attire of the Refining God Sect. Outside the Defensive Barrier, however, stood two distinct powers clearly delineated from each other. One was the group of people including Lin Zhiyuan whom Qi Tian and his companions had just encountered, and the other group appeared somewhat disorganized, with no uniform attire. Among them, some wore the garb of Great Zhao Nation, some looked like people from Chi Di, others seemed to be from Bei Rong Kingdom, and there were even a few cultivators from nations neighboring Great Zhao Nation.
Of these three powers, the group led by Lin Zhiyuan was the strongest. Each one of them was a Gold Core Realm powerhouse, with Lin Zhiyuan being the highest level at Gold Core Stage 4th Level, and even the weakest among them was at the Gold Core Realm Second Level.
