The Northern Mountain County King and the Sub Hall Master were simply unwilling to offend Xue Tu.
Yet they were not afraid of Xue Tu.
Otherwise, they would not have previously said they would follow him until he left Northern Mountain City.
This statement itself signified that they did not welcome Xue Tu.
Of course, they did not wish for a battle of Earth Origin Realm to erupt in the skies above Northern Mountain City.
At least, for a completely unrelated young person, it was not worth it.
But, if it were for the Northern Mountain Sword Master, then it was entirely worth it.
The Sword Master was the master of swords for a county, not just for the Sky-splitting Sword Sect.
He represented the highest level of Sword Dao in a county now or for a long time to come.
He held immense symbolic importance.
The two sternly stood in front of Xiao Yi.
Even mobilizing Golden Core power, they restrained Xue Tu.
