The martial artists of Tieshan County were panic-stricken and hurriedly distanced themselves from the vicinity of Evergreen Pavilion. Many even hid in the mountains and planned to return only after the situation had settled.
Tieshan County was undoubtedly the most dangerous place at the moment. Grandmaster martial artists could perish at any moment, let alone those of mediocre or low rank.
They weren't even third rank.
A ripple of battle could turn them to ash.
Although Tieshan County was some distance from Evergreen Pavilion, it was inevitably close, and powerful figures arriving would certainly make their base in the county.
Thus, the martial artists in the county all temporarily left, seeking a place to avoid the turmoil.
Even the common folk sensed that something was amiss and fled the town.
In just two or three days, the town had quieted down significantly.
No guests entered or exited Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, which had become eerily quiet.
