On the same day, a piece of news suddenly spread like wildfire in the front-line camps. A mysterious man who claimed to be Qin Wei's enemy was said to have witnessed the battle between Qin Wei and Li Bai of the Exploding Heavens Faction. He swore that Qin Wei's soulbound weapon got destroyed and that he was seriously injured. The mysterious man even stated that he stole the lifespan of more than 1,000 years from both of them while they were distracted.
When the news first came out, nobody believed it at all. How could Qin Wei, a great cultivator at the peak of the Great Vehicle Stage and the protector of the Tong Tian Nation, be defeated by a young man at the Form Synthesis Stage, and even have his soulbound weapon destroyed? However, Xu Que assumed the identity of Li Bai and appeared the very next day. He pretended to pass by the camp and was immediately pulled aside by a group of cultivators, asking whether or not the rumors were true.
