Chapter 232: Not Good Enough
The hemp-robed elderly man's face was grave. He immediately concealed himself and Lin Xunner without making the slightest sound or leaking a trace of his aura.
In the darkness, the sound of hoofbeats and rolling wheels came from the far end of the road.
The carriage did not look particularly grand, yet it seemed to contain within it a formless, invisible pressure.
When it had come to within several dozen yards of Hundred Refinements City, the guards throughout the city seemed to sense something at once, and every one of them looked toward the road outside, their hearts trembling inexplicably.
Fortunately, they recognized that the carriage outside the gates was from Hundred Refinements Peak, and so they did not fall into panic.
"Open the gate!"
The coachman drove the carriage to just short of the city gate and called out urgently to the guards on the wall above.
Hearing this, the guard commander on the wall above was about to call down a few questions, but in the next instant the entire man was engulfed by a formless force and burst into a mist of blood.
At the sight of this, the guards and martial artists on the wall immediately went pale with shock. But before they could even react, the carriage curtain below moved without wind.
