Following the Eastern Newspaper Agency's article on the Martial Arts Realm distinctions, nearly everyone in Yan County came to believe that the North Country didn't have anyone in the Celestial Realm and had always been bluffing.

Murong Xue'er also read the article published by the Eastern Times at the first opportunity. Although she too felt that it might be true that the North Country lacked a Celestial Realm powerhouse, she couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss.
