Faced with an aggressive Zhu Ju, Yu Lou surprisingly chose to back down, leaving many astonished.
After all, Yu Lou wasn't known for being reasonable.
The reason for this was quite simple.
The news that Zhu Ju possessed a Talisman Treasure and had used it to kill a Mid-Stage Dao Foundation Cultivator soon spread throughout the neighborhood.
The strength of Dao Foundation Cultivators varied, but among those of the same stage, it was usually only possible to achieve victory, not to kill the opponent.
Forcibly killing an opponent would typically result in a Pyrrhic victory, unless one possessed a powerful method that provided an absolute advantage.
The fact that Zhu Ju could kill a Mid-Stage Dao Foundation Cultivator meant his strength was considered formidable even for that stage.
In an instant, his status within the alliance rose considerably.
