“Old Hu, are you sure you didn’t see wrong? Did Captain Zuo really break through to the Heaven Level?”

In the crowd, someone whispered, still finding it hard to believe.

The old man’s expression turned serious as he replied, “It's not just a breakthrough to the Heaven Level. If this old man isn’t mistaken, Captain Zuo’s current cultivation has already reached the peak of the early Heaven Level, and he’s probably only a step away from the mid-Heaven Level.”

Hiss!

Old Hu’s words drew gasps from the crowd.

Everyone’s eyes were wide, as if they were caught in a storm of disbelief.

Zuo Li breaking through to the Heaven Level was already shocking enough, but to think he was actually a powerful figure at the peak of the early Heaven Level.

What does this imply?

A Heaven Level expert in their thirties is already quite rare and belongs to the elite ranks in the Great Qi Nation.

And a peak early Heaven Level expert in their thirties is even more terrifying. It would be nearly impossible to find a few of them even if one searched the entire capital of the Great Qi Nation.

This kind of expert may not be the very top-tier yet, but their future is surely limitless.

“Captain Zuo, we did not mean to offend. Please forgive us.”

“Yes, we didn’t mean to offend you, Captain Zuo. Please don’t take it to heart.”

“Captain Zuo, I am the third elder of the Li family. We didn’t act against you. My Li family always abides by the law. How could we disobey the city guards? That would be a serious crime.”

Those who previously mocked Zuo Li were no longer calm and hurriedly explained in fear.

Some individuals with weaker backgrounds were nearly scared to their knees, practically in tears.

Do we really need to do this?

We just came to watch, and ended up offending a Heaven Level expert with limitless potential.

It felt like they were going to crash and die.

“Captain Zuo, it’s a misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding.”

Chen Feng and Qu Zhao had lost their initial arrogance, lying on the ground, bleeding, and fearfully addressed Zuo Li.

For a ground-level expert with no potential, their family might not care much, but for a Heaven Level expert with limitless prospects, their family would never dare to offend him. If they knew what happened here, they’d probably wish to break their legs.

“Scram.”

Looking at the two in fear begging for mercy, Zuo Li frowned in disgust and reprimanded.

Capturing such people would only dirty the city guards’ dungeon.

“Yes, yes, we’ll leave right away.”

The two scrambled away into the crowd.

With Zuo Li guarding here, it was impossible for them to break in and find Qin Chen.

Moreover, no one had the courage to do so.

“I know your purpose for coming here; it’s about challenging Qin Feng, right? If that’s the case, you can leave. Young Master Chen isn’t at the residence today. He left early this morning.”

Seeing these people hesitating, Zuo Li couldn’t be bothered to waste more words with them and turned to leave with his subordinates.

“They left?”

The crowd was astonished.

Soon, the news spread like the wind to the life-and-death stage.

Including Qin Feng, everyone nearly spat out blood, their faces blank, nearly going mad.

What the hell, is this a joke?

This group of people had been waiting at the life-and-death stage since morning just to see an exciting life-and-death battle.

They even sent someone to Qin Chen’s house, trying to lure him out.

Who would have thought that Qin Chen wasn’t even home, having left early that morning, and no one knew where he went?

So they had been waiting for nothing, and Qin Chen had no intention of coming to accept the challenge.

The crowd erupted in chaos.

This is too much!

In the face of this situation, who would still want to wait?

It was likely that Qin Chen wouldn’t come even by evening.

In an instant, a large wave of people left.

The remaining ones gradually departed as well.

Only Qin Feng and a few who were extremely hostile towards Qin Chen remained.
