Yue'er's elegant brows lifted, and a shadow instantly fell over her lovely face. Of all times, someone had just had to come knocking now.
After a brief hesitation, Yue'er transformed into a streak of green light and flew toward the direction the spiritual power had come from.
Although this place had the powerful formation the young master had laid down, giving her a better chance if she met the enemy here, the commotion from a magical duel would inevitably risk affecting the young master's Core formation. So Yue'er wanted to send the intruder packing somewhere farther away.
At the same time, in the wasteland some twenty-odd miles from here, a streak of blue light came to a stop. The radiance scattered, revealing a middle-aged man of around thirty.
He wore a scholar's robe and was dressed like a student; coupled with his handsome features and refined bearing, he could very easily win others' favor.
Yet one could not judge everything by appearances. Beneath a sheepskin might well lurk a wolf. This man was named Zhao Shouguang, and among mid-level cultivators, he could be said to be renowned far and wide. Others had given him a nickname: the "Life-Snatching Scholar."
Although this man cultivated an orthodox Daoist art of the Profound School, when it came to cruelty and cunning, even demonic cultivators would have to bow in defeat!
Not only was his conduct moody and unpredictable, what he loved most was killing people and seizing their treasures.
Since his debut, the low-level cultivators who had died by his hand were already beyond counting.
There were at least several hundred!
And his own cultivation was no small matter either. Although he had yet to reach Core Condensation, he had stepped into the great perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Add to that
