There was one thing Yang Qingyun had never expected.
And that was—
he would be stopped outside the Qi family's gates!
The Qi family
actually had a Dao Integration Realm expert stationed there!
"May I ask who you are, and whether you intend to stand up for the Qi family?"
High in the sky, facing the old monk in gray robes who had flown out from the Qi family's forbidden grounds and now blocked his path, his bald head gleaming brightly,
although Yang Qingyun was somewhat surprised and puzzled by the other party's appearance,
no trace of fear showed on his face. His gaze swept over the old monk from head to toe.
The man before him looked like a monk, yet somehow felt wrong. He had appeared out of nowhere.
Just moments ago,
when Yang Qingyun had brought the two elders of the Tianhao Sect to the skies above the Qi family's residence, he had released the aura of the Dao Integration Realm without the slightest concealment. Like a mountain-shaking roar and a tsunami's surge, it had pressed down toward the Qi family, as though the sky itself were collapsing.
The other party had suddenly appeared.
His figure had shot into the sky from deep within the Qi family's mountain gates and appeared before him,
as if he had been lying in ambush for a long time.
The aura of the Dao Integration Realm had erupted at that moment as well, meeting his own in direct resistance.
The entire void between heaven and earth
had twisted visibly in great swaths beneath the collision and compression of two vast, mighty forces.
There was no doubt about it.
Although the other party had said nothing, the meaning behind what he had released was clear:
He would protect the Qi family!
