Chapter 154: The Seventh Ancestor's Most Impressive Technique
“YOU DARE KILL MY GRANDSON?"
A cave mouth I hadn't noticed before was opening, darkness spilling out like liquid shadow. The pressure intensified as a figure emerged – tall, broad-shouldered, with a beard that would make mountain sages jealous.
The Ancestor of the Three-Leaf Clover Sect didn't so much walk as glide, each step carrying him impossible distances. His eyes found me immediately, burning with a fury that would have terrified most cultivators.
I felt Han Renyi's consciousness recoil slightly at the sight, but I kept us steady. After all, I'd been expecting something like this – you don't kill a sect elder without anticipating some family drama.
"YOU DARE?" The Ancestor's voice boomed across the compound again, and I had to admire the theatricality of it. The way the sound seemed to come from everywhere at once, how it made the very air vibrate... that took skill. Well, if you're going to emerge from several centuries of seclusion to avenge your grandson, you might as well do it with style.
"Calm down," I told Han Renyi's panicking consciousness. "This is exactly what we planned for."
"This was NOT in the plan!" he shot back. "You said we'd intimidate the sect master, not fight a Tier 4 ancestor!"
"Details, details..."
Without a word, the ancestor raised one hand.
