The Seven Hall Masters, and even Cyan Flood Dragon Hall Master Lu Buji, were all frozen in place, utterly unable to believe their eyes; the Gang Leader had truly appeared!
The most shocked among them was Gongyang Jue, his pupils suddenly enlarged and his face showing disbelief. In the past, when Baili Hong was young and leading expeditions against Sea Pirates with great valor, Gongyang Jue was not even ranked within the Cyan Fish Gang.
He undoubtedly feared Baili Hong from the depths of his heart, more so than he ever feared Qiu Mountain, because he never regarded Qiu Mountain as a true opponent — Great Cultivators would naturally have other Great Cultivators to deal with.
Based on his prior understanding of Baili Hong, Gongyang Jue knew that this man was extremely protective and nurturing towards his close ones; his recent probes and attempts would have been intolerable if Baili Hong remained unharmed.
