Lu Hongwei was considered a very illustrious and infamous character in those times, when Bai Mojiao was most active. His strength was comparable to the four strongest true disciples of Yi Yuan School. Ye Xiwen looked carefully and noticed that his strength was not inferior to that of Qi Feifan, in fact, he was also a peerless master of half-step into the legendary realm.
Among the four strongest true disciples of Yi Yuan School, excluding Qi Feifan, who had a late rise to the ranks of strongest four, all of the other three strongest true disciples had fought with Lu Hongwei, although none of the three could ever defeat him, but weren't defeated either, and this clearly showed the immense strength of Lu Hongwei.
Ye Xiwen was being very careful because if any one of these two peerless masters discovered that there was something strange or suspicious, then he would not be able to escape, it would certainly be a dead end for him.
