When Li Fan appeared at the center of the battlefield, the disciples of Li Mountain momentarily froze in astonishment.
Li Fan?
The Li Mountain disciples couldn't believe their eyes. Lu Yuan had already been defeated—what was the point of Li Fan stepping forward?
During the Sword Inquiry at Li Mountain, Li Fan had displayed impressive strength. The disciples wouldn't underestimate him completely, but still, he faced Jiang Taie, the prodigy of Lingxiao Pavilion.
The genius Sword Cultivator who filled them with despair.
*What could Li Fan accomplish by stepping forward, other than seeking defeat?*
Gu Qingyang revealed a trace of surprise. While the other disciples hadn't noticed, he had caught Lu Yuan whispering something to Li Fan as she stepped down.
Lu Yuan trusted Li Fan?
*Could there really be a miracle awaiting Li Mountain?*
*No—it seemed far too unlikely.*
Many in the surrounding crowd even began openly discussing it, prompting a cold smirk from Chu Zili.
