Li Yao was fascinated.
On his way there, from the chitchat between the father and the daughter of the Ling family and the conversation among the barbarian Cultivators, he had heard the names of the top Cultivators. 'Mother White Lotus' Wan Mingzhu was the one with the highest frequency.
However, the barbarian Cultivators did not know much about the outside world, and Ling Shoujing and Ling Lanyin, because of their biased stance, decried Wan Mingzhu as a brutal, hideous ghost queen while mentioning how exactly the 'ghost queen' rose in the southeast where the Cultivators were most powerful.
It was the first time that Li Yao had heard the story from a different perspective. Whether it was true or not, it was refreshing enough.
