Chapter 92: A Lovely Girl
Benton’s face must have showed his concern at sensing a cultivator heading their way because Yang Xiu said, “Is something wrong, Master?”
From the cultivator’s movement speed, they weren’t using a flying sword. In fact, they weren’t moving fast at all. Unless he missed his guess, it was someone in the Qi Gathering realm. Either that or someone hiding their cultivation.
“Give me a minute,” Benton said.
The cultivator stayed on the path to the village until reaching fairly near where Benton judged the gate to be. At that point, the person changed heading toward the arena.
Well, the good thing was that Benton would know soon who was coming for a visit. The cultivator had obviously sensed two sets of cultivators, one in the village and one out in the middle of nowhere, and had chosen the middle of nowhere group as the more interesting one.
“Everyone stand up.”
The entire council complied quickly and quietly.
“What I believe is most likely a Foundation Establishment Cultivator is heading right for us from the direction of Vermillion Incomparable Rain Town.”
The person’s speed was in the range of what he would expect from a Qi Gathering cultivator, but they had obviously used spiritual sense to detect the presence of his group, which was why he had made that conclusion.
“They’ll be here in a few minutes.” Benton stowed the table and chairs in his ring. “Ye Zan, Hou Yazhu, you two stay on the arena floor. Start sparring. Everyone else, to the stands.”
Benton didn’t want to hide the arena, and assuming the cultivator was from one of the big three sects, he needed a way to explain its existence. What better way for that subterfuge than to use it for its intended purpose?
“Why, yes, big three sect cultivator, we did just happen to build an arena in the middle of nowhere. We obviously needed somewhere to spar, right? Why do you ask?”
