"A refutation?"
In the tea house, the cultivators who were sipping their tea and exchanging various pieces of news all suddenly stopped their movements.
The speaker was a middle-aged rogue cultivator in the Qi Refining stage VII or VIII. However, he seemed to be more prosperous than the average cultivator at the Qi Refining stage X, even wearing a Class I top grade defensive tool.
Seeing the crowd staring at him, he didn't show any sign of nervousness and said enthusiastically:
"The Palace Master of Zhenling Palace declared that Master Zhang was indeed injured earlier but has since recovered and is now in secluded cultivation."
"In no more than three to five years, Master Zhang will come out of his seclusion. So, everyone should stop spreading these unverified rumors."
Upon hearing this, the tea house erupted with bursts of laughter.
"Do you actually believe that?"
