章 1852: The Finals

Seeing the High Elder's reaction, Lin Mu reckoned that the man knew about Niu Juo more than expected.

"Have you met the Steel Horned General?" Lin Mu questioned.

"Of course. I was even present at the tournament when he won." High Elder Juxue answered much to his surprise.

"I see… that must have been an impressive match." Lin Mu replied.

"It sure was. Niu Juo set an example for a lot of unaffiliated contestants." High Elder Juxue said with a hint of fondness. "I knew back then he would become great, and now he is one of the two generals of the Huiqing Empire." 

"Mmhmm, it was good to meet him. I got to learn quite a few things." Lin Mu replied, before he felt a presence approaching.

He looked in the distance and could feel a faint aura that was coming forth in bursts.
