Chapter 130: Forced Q&A
Under the scrutiny of numerous cultivators, Gui Tianzi slowly walked out from the entrance of the pocket realm. He normally had a cold demeanor, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t feel nervous. It couldn’t be helped as he was only an Energy Gathering cultivator and a junior at that. The intense gaze from a group of cultivators who were each exponentially stronger than him was not to be trifled with.
Thankfully for him, his ordeal was short. He didn’t even make it a dozen steps before a strange-looking man appeared beside him. He had sunken eyes and many age spots scattered around his face. Anyone who saw him would deem him unhealthy, wondering if he was suffering from some sort of sickness.
When Gui Tianzi saw this old man, his face brightened, and the tension in his body visibly dissipated.
“Elder An, I have returned,” he clasped his fist politely.
“And so you have. We shall return to our camp and prepare to depart immediately. The Pavilion Master will be eager to hear from you.”
Elder An placed a hand on the young man’s shoulder and prepared to exit the area. Before they could leave, several people blocked their path.
“Congratulations Old An and Young Master Gui for having lasted longest in the pocket realm. As one of the most talented people in this generation, it isn’t proper to be leaving in such a hurry. We’re all eager to hear from such a promising star.”
“Sifong, get out of the way. I don’t care to hear the crap from your mouth.”
Elder An didn’t hide his hostility, and the tension thickened. Even a countryside mortal could sense that a fight could erupt at any time. The sickly elder got into a combat stance with one fist close to his chest while an open palm faced his opponent. He didn’t stop there and even employed a strange technique.
The skin of his palm burst out from within and a gray worm with rows and rows of sharp teeth let out a threatening screech. It was the scene out of some people’s nightmares.
However, few people in the audience were alarmed at the scene. Ever since they knew the last person remaining in the pocket realm belonged to the Eroding March Pavilion, everyone had done ample research on them.
They were famous for employing various unnerving techniques that involved insects, invertebrates, arthropods, and other small creatures. The gruesome outcome of being on the receiving end of these techniques could be easily imagined, which normally caused people to keep their distance from this organization.
