Suddenly, Elder Yun sighed.
He was the first to break the silence among everyone.
A hint of reminiscence appeared on the face of the patriarch of the martial arts lineage. "Back then, we were new disciples of the Nine Heavens Holy Land and were fortunate enough to witness that earth-shattering battle from the outside."
