A moment later, a figure landed right in the middle of the crowd and turned his head towards one of the people in there. The figure was glowing in golden lights, with a height that was around 172cm and wore nothing on his body. With his faceless visage, the shining figure who has exuded an unbearable presence out of nowhere, suddenly walked towards a certain person amongst the crowd and spoke in excitement. "You.. Who are you." The crowd immediately had their faces paled considerably the moment the figure arrived in their midst. But as if he didn't see anyone else except for the man in a crimson robe that was making a vigilant expression, the figure proceeded to cross their distance and pointed at the man. "Me?" The man, Luke, asked back as he prepared to chant for a quick acceleration spell if it was needed. No matter how he looked at it, the being in front of him was definitely the one who had the capability of a master rank mage. Trying to hide his ability in this case would onl

"I'm someone that came from earth." Choosing to be better honest and come clean, Luke returned Hong Ming's gaze with an unwavering look. Silently observing Luke with no response, Hong Ming then spoke after a few breaths. "It's good to see fellow earthlings." Letting go of Luke's neck and watching the latter coughing for two seconds, Hong Ming questioned with emotionless tone. "Hey, from which country did you come from?" Standing up, Luke tilted his head to the side and replied without much thought, "Bulgaria." 'Well, not a real Bulgarian though. As if there will be someone with the name of Jameson in Bulgaria’s natives.' Contemplated Luke as he hid the fact that he was an immigrant from Britain. "Oh…" Responded Hong Ming dispiritedly as he continued, "Well, that's good." "Why?" Asked Luke in curiosity, "Do you really care about someone's nationality?" Snorting from Luke's question, Hong Ming stated coldly, "Of course. If you had said you came from or any countries in the Allie

"That's right, Katsue. Mind if I ask for some help?" Asked Luke as he eyed Hong Ming's figure carefully. "Just call me Hong Ming. I'm used to being called that way." Waving his hand in the air to dispense the formalities, Hong Ming spoke while he was intrigued with what kind of request Luke wanted, "So, what help do you need from me? I will hear it out."Feeling a little bit nervous to ask this to the person he had just met, Luke would try his luck and see how it went. With that in mind, Luke explained to Hong Ming about his current predicament that he had to take his equipment back from one of the inner disciples in the Three Headed Serpent sect. "Hmm, I see.." Muttering under his breath, Hong Ming placed his finger on his chin in contemplation gesture as Luke gazed at Hong Ming silently. Luke knew perhaps it would be too much to ask something like this but he wanted to see if there were any chance for the being to lend him a hand. "Consider it done." Replied Hong Ming a moment la

 In the next moment, something moved past the crowd with speed that could create a cloud of dust in its wake and a sonic boom that would deafened any cultivators within or below Lingqi Cleansing realm. After only five seconds, Luke and Lin Ju found themselves flying above the sea while astonished that there was no pressure at all from the winds.  There was a transparent golden barrier around them, withstanding all the air pressure from Hong Ming's unnatural pace.
