At the same time.
When Elder Tianhuo and Ye Chenfeng left Tongtian City.

City Lord Gu Nanhong and his son Gu Tianchi could only watch helplessly as Elder Tianhuo left with Ye Chenfeng. Firstly, the duel was proposed by them, leaving them with no ground to stand on; secondly, Gu Nanhong couldn't stop Elder Tianhuo. Even if he tried, he would likely end up defeated.
Gu Nanhong's face was frighteningly cold as he looked at the cultivators around the street who were watching the excitement. He knew if today's events spread, the Refining Sect might hold grudges against Tongtian City. After all, the artifact refining duel was proposed by Gu Nanhong, and the Refining Sect's influence across the Earth Profound Realm was incredibly strong. If the Refining Sect declared their intention to destroy Tongtian City, many sects would be willing to take action.
