The following day, news of the battle spread throughout the Blue Wind Region, becoming the talk of the town.
At first, many did not believe it, but as disciples from the sect confirmed the story, Caleb Li's name became sensational.
In a tavern, a group of young men and women discussed the event, excitement etched on their faces.
"I wish I had joined the Sky Cloud Sect…" a young man said regretfully.
"You wish… tsk!" a girl sneered.
"The Red Crane Sect has become a joke. Their disciples don't even dare to come out anymore."
"True. Hahaha. How could their sect elder be that weak?"
"It's not just the Red Crane Sect; the Azure Sword Sect and the Radiance Sect have also become jokes. Though no one dares to say it out loud."
"You're right. Everyone expected two grade-8 sects to defeat a grade-9 elder, but we were proven wrong. The Sky Cloud Sect isn't just any grade-9 sect."
