Upon hearing this, the three people standing nearby frowned, but they didn't have much of an opinion about the order in which they were asked to speak.
The cultivator surnamed Park was once a prodigy in the chief rank. Although he was defeated early on, his strength was evident. Secondly, the cultivator nicknamed "Demon of Fiends" was a protector of the Seven Blood Sect. Those who could become protectors were all core elites, so their combat power was self-evident.
Therefore, it is reasonable for Granny Rongshan to be ranked last, even though she is the most famous.
But what about this 'Liao Yong' in front of us?
I've never heard of it before; it's probably a pseudonym.
He only had the cultivation level of the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm, and he had just broken through.
Even if their origins are extraordinary and they possess some kind of background, their apparent strength is far inferior to theirs. Why then do they enjoy such preferential treatment?
"Hehe, Old Woman Rong has some objections. Fellow Daoist Qiu, I'm not questioning you, but rather this fellow Daoist who's been hiding his true identity—what qualifications does he have?"
Granny Rongshan looked at Lin Xiuyuan without any politeness and said.
The two people beside her didn't say anything, but they also frowned and turned their gazes to Qiu Yan, clearly thinking the same thing.
Qiu Yan said with a smile, "This Fellow Daoist Liao is no ordinary person; he can hold off any potential chief figures!"
Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately narrowed their eyes and focused their gazes on Lin Xiuyuan, staring intently as if trying to discern his appearance and origins.
For a moment, all three of them looked somewhat surprised and uncertain.
It is quite obvious that the chief figure Qiu Yan mentioned should be one of the chief figures of the Five Elements Sect.
Is this person in front of me comparable to him?
Could it be that he's the top student in his class?!
What is its origin?
If he were the chief of the demonic path, he wouldn't conceal his face, so he can be ruled out.
Then only the Great Yue Prodigy remains. Could he be the chief figure of the Jade Cauldron Pill Sect or the Heavenly Sword Sect?
But it doesn't seem like it, after all, none of the known top geniuses seem to have just broken through to the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm!
However, although it is impossible to deduce, after Qiu Yan's words...
Granny Rongshan and the Demon immediately fell silent, their gazes no longer filled with doubt.
However, the monk surnamed Park still had a questioning look in his eyes.
Since it doesn't match the known top prodigies, how can it be proven that it has the combat power of a top prodigy?
At this level, there are always names and surnames.
Especially considering that Lin Xiuyuan had just broken through to the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm.
Resisting and confronting head-on are different concepts.
Therefore, in his view, Lin Xiuyuan is very likely not the latter.
The cultivator surnamed Park had previously competed for the top spot and was confident he could withstand a prodigy of this caliber, so he didn't intend to relinquish his priority and spoke directly:
"With his cultivation level? I don't think so. If he's to rank before me, he'd have to earn my complete respect. But if it's just about simply holding off the top genius, I, Park, am confident I have that ability!"
