The ones who came to greet Chen Shi at the Black Tortoise Pavilion were Yan Rong, Yan Fang, and two other Yan family members named Yan Zheng and Yan Wu.
As for Yan Qing, because he was beaten by Chen Shi, he did not come, and Yan Shuo, who was on good terms with him, also did not come.
When Chen Shi kicked open the main gate, the four Yan brothers reacted immediately. Without a word, they each activated their Divine Altars and Divine Fetuses, summoning their Golden Cores.
Yan Rong was the first to summon his Golden Core, which had been refined to the ninth level, the same level as Fu Leisheng from New Township County.
But unlike Fu Leisheng, who was a self-taught scholar, Yan Rong had received the best teachings from the Yan family since childhood, learned the best techniques, and consumed the finest foundation-building pills.
Moreover, after arriving in Thunder County and entering the Black Tortoise Pavilion, he practiced diligently and his cultivation was even more profound than Fu Leisheng's back then!
The main gate of the Black Tortoise Pavilion melted instantly under the power of his Golden Core. The clothes of two servants caught fire from the Golden Core's power, their flesh melted away, leaving only white bones that turned to ash and fell to the ground.
