Regarding today's matter, Mansion Master Lu was clearly unaware. His people knew even less about Ye Jingcheng's affairs than the Golden Cores of Xiaoshan Prefecture did. Most likely, the bulk of what they had heard were merely fragments of his exploits in the Earth Immortal Realm. However, during his time in the Earth Immortal Realm, Ye Jingcheng had deliberately concealed portions of his strength. Those actions had served merely as a warning, meaning his reputation elsewhere wouldn't appear overwhelmingly formidable.
