The companion also shook his head repeatedly, sighing:
"This guy named Jiang Mo, with just over twenty thousand men, continuously recaptured several lost territories such as Jiangdong, Qubo, and Daizhou, killing more than thirty thousand of our Yanrong people. Even General Nie Ligun suffered a great loss.
Moreover, he wrote to the court, vigorously settling refugees and exempting them from harsh taxes... His reputation among the people is resoundingly loud. There’s even a rumor that he is the Emperor Star descending to earth!"
Another companion continued:
"His cultivation is also unfathomable. It’s said he is among the top ten, not only a disciple of Sword Demon Yan Changqing but also the Sect Leader of Huoyun Mountain and the new Mountain Master of the Wanshou Mountains and Rivers. Quite formidable."
