As Su Xin returned to Jiangnan Province, Li Huai and the others came out to meet him immediately.
The news had actually spread out after Su Xin and the others entered the Nine-Layered Sword Pavilion.
The other forces in the Jianghu did not expect the Heavenly Court and Netherworld's speed to be that fast, without leaking even the slightest hint beforehand. As such, even though they had received the news, they could only sigh in resignation, as they were already too late to participate in the opening of the Nine-Layered Sword Pavilion.
Because of this, Li Huai and others were naturally aware and anxious about the situation.
Li Huai and the others did not know of Su Xin's identity in the Netherworld. For this trip to the Nine-Layered Sword Pavilion, the others had strong alliances or large number of martial artists accompanying them but in contrast, Su Xin was alone.
