Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned and looked at Tian Feng with blank expressions.
"Swords have no eyes, and to avoid harming the innocent, you may leave Lujiang as soon as you need to. You can return after our army has quelled the rebellion!"
Although Tian Feng's voice wasn't very loud, it made everyone's ears ring.
