Even the Cloud Water Sect, the largest local power in Yunzhou, which is much stronger than the Pei Family, cannot defy public sentiment nor act against the tide by suppressing them.

"So, a family of craftsmen with abundant wealth; they are truly a rare talent."
Zhou Ping'an's heart moved slightly.
"What is their combat strength like?"
"Very strong."
