Chapter 28: Unveiling Secrets: Yang Wei's Calculations and Speculation.

Shao Jian's heart sank at the mention of the second possibility. He knew what Yang Wei was implying - someone they had underestimated had showed power beyond what they had expected.

"But how?" Shao Jian asked, struggling to keep his voice steady.

"That is the question," Yang Wei replied, a calculating glint passing through his piercing gaze. "We must investigate further before taking any action."

The speculation Yang Wei had come to was absurd. This person, who arrived at the sect just a few days ago, had somehow managed to reach the 3rd Layer of Qi Gathering realm from being a mere mortal. Yang Wei himself couldn't even comprehend this possibility that he thought of, and he could see the same disbelief in Shao Jian's eyes.
