Chapter 5: Intruder
“So you two are the kids with the Tranquil Harmony physique! Good, good, good! You both will serve as excellent cultivation cauldrons for me!” The man’s voice somehow echoed throughout the dining hall where the Zi family was. His voice drew all their attention upward, past the roof that had been obliterated.
Zi Zun, the master of the house and someone who was at the peak of the Energy Gathering realm, narrowed his eyes at the small dot hovering high above them.
“We’re under attack! Everyone gather around!”
“Stop running around aimlessly! Where’s the enemy?”
Voices could be heard all over the manor as the guard scrambled around in search of the invisible enemy. At this point, only Zi Zun and the children around him knew they were in a much graver situation than any of the guards had thought.
Their enemy was floating high above them, which meant they were at least in the Foundation Establishment realm. Zi Zun gritted his teeth as he had enough life experiences to know there had to be at least ten of him to stand a chance against someone in that rank of cultivation.
He stepped forward and greeted with a fist wrapped in his other hand, bowing slightly toward the distant figure.
“Greetings Senior, to what do we owe the honor of being graced with your presence?”
Li Lang squinted his eyes in search of the newcomer, only to flinch back when a man with long and messy hair abruptly closed the distance in the blink of an eye as if he had teleported. He was now hovering just slightly above where the roof once was.
Did he teleport…? Or is he too fast for my eyes to see?
“Ha, no need to waste your words. I am not like the bunch from their so-called righteous path and care for pleasantries. I will be taking those two kids today, no matter what you say.”
With those words, the man with the disheveled hair pointed the palm of his hand toward Zi Xi.
