"A major figure stepped in to suppress the matter."
"But considering the downfall of a powerful family like the Lu Family, there are only a few people in Yongning City who could suppress such a thing."

She even had time to stretch out her palm and smooth out the wrinkles on her dress.
"Heh heh, a major figure? How important can they be?"
"No one else but the city lord, and a few from the Lan Yue Pavilion."
"Let's halt our movements for now, and wait for the Divine Envoy to arrive before we start again."
The woman withdrew her hand, making this the conclusion of their discussion.

With each punch, the inner strength and Qi-Blood in his body flowed towards his marrow to refine and warm nurture it.
Gradually, the speed of his punches grew slower.
