The moment the group from the portal finished speaking, the sect master’s expression darkened completely, and the calm authority he had been carrying earlier turned sharp and oppressive. His aura spread outward, not wildly, but with clear intent, like a warning that had already crossed into threat.“Enough,” he said coldly, his voice cutting through the air.He stepped forward slightly, his eyes locked onto the group without the slightest hint of hesitation.“You’ve said more than enough nonsense,” he continued. “Turn around and go back to wherever you came from… or don’t blame me for what happens next.”The threat was clear, direct and heavy but the reaction he got was the complete opposite of what he expected.The group didn’t stiffen or hesitate, instead they all burst out laughing “Did you hear that?” one of them said, turning to the others with an exaggerated expression. “He’s threatening us.”Another one shook his head slowly.“Threatening?” he repeated. “No, no… this is more l

Jerry’s eyes widened the moment that strike descended.For the first time since stepping forward, confidence left his face completely, replaced by something raw and immediate.. a mad panic. The Qi suppression was too heavy and too sudden, and far beyond what he had prepared for. It wasn’t just the strength of the attack that terrified him, it was the feeling beneath it, the way his own energy seemed to shrink in response, like it was being pushed down by something purer and something sharper.He couldn’t move properly and he couldn’t react cleanly and he knew, if that attack landed directly, he wouldn’t just lose.He would be cut in half.“I…!”He didn’t even finish the thought because his instinct to survive whatever was coming towards him took over.His hand moved almost on its own, reaching into his robe and pulling out a talisman. There was no time to think about conserving resources or saving it for later. This was survival. He has to be alive to use a talisman like that in the

The moment the leader attacked, the air tightened again, his Qi surging outward as he stepped forward with speed and intent, his strike carrying compressed force as it cut straight toward the old man, clean and direct without any wasted motion. It wasn’t reckless or sloppy, it was a proper attack, controlled and sharp, the kind that showed he wasn’t just relying on arrogance alone.But the old man didn’t move much.He simply raised his hand and blocked it just like that.No visible strain or sudden burst of effort.The attack met his palm and stopped, as though it had hit an invisible wall, the energy dispersing outward instead of pushing through, and for a brief moment, the difference between them became painfully clear.The leader’s expression changed just slightly, it was shock that flickered in his eyes not because he was weak but because that block was too easy.“hm,” he muttered under his breath.But he didn’t stop, he couldn’t, not here and not in front of everyone. Their lead

Kai and the others did not head out to meet the old man, instead they slowed down as they approached the area, carefully observing the old man standing before the invisible barrier. Even though they were already within the safe range, Kai still chose not to walk straight in like usual, instead he stopped a few meters away, his eyes fixed ahead, measuring the distance, the aura, and most importantly, the intent behind the man standing there.Abigail noticed the pause first and frowned slightly as she followed his gaze, her tone carrying curiosity mixed with caution as she asked, “Why are we stopping here?”Kai didn’t answer immediately, his attention still locked on the old man as he carefully analyzed him again, not just his realm, but the subtle flow of his Qi, the steadiness of his stance, and the control in his breathing, all of which told him more than the realm alone ever could. After a brief moment, he finally spoke, his voice calm but thoughtful.“Told you he's strong,” he sai

That way, we can leave without a bit of worry," Kai stated, nodding, feeling good with his plans."But..." Emily frowned slightly, not knowing what to say.She really had to praise Kai's foresight. She didn't think about all of this.So what Zora wanted them to do was to look for a way to spread the information, and that was just what Kai had done.Once the old man found out the truth, there was no way he would be able to just watch.After all, Earth was his homeland; there was no way he was going to watch and let a set of aliens destroy it. Even though the invaders were not aliens since they all had human form.But there was nothing better to call them than Aliens, so that was the best name."So what other plans do you have?" Emily asked after a while, knowing that Kai's plan was always more elaborate than what he had said."Also, I want you to be able to monopolize the place where you farm Crystal," Kai sat up, his expression slowly becoming serious."Sooner or later, those old frea
