The Man in Black!
Cao Bao, who had been burning to get revenge, swallowed the words he was about to say. He stared at Lu Xiaotian in utter shock.
Cao Xi'er, seated atop the Nether Hound, had ripples dancing through her beautiful eyes. Her thoughts sprouted wings, flying back to the day she had nearly been abducted by the Silver Orchid Bandit, only for the Man in Black, who had appeared out of nowhere, to stop him with effortless ease. A few simple strikes had severely wounded and driven the Silver Orchid Bandit away. There were even more legends about the Man in Black. With countless Golden Core cultivators surrounding him, the Man in Black had made a domineering appearance, killed enemies one after another, and severely wounded Dou Fierce Tiger, a Golden Core Late Stage powerhouse! She and her second brother Cao Bao had originally moved out of the marquis's estate and taken refuge in the central district of Woundless City. Later, only after the Man in Black's fame had spread far and wide, did they move back. After that, Golden Core cultivators occasionally spied on them, but every one who dared reach a hand toward the Marquis of Suppressing Might's estate had its claws chopped off by the Man in Black.
During the decades that the Marquis of Suppressing Might had been away from the estate, the Man in Black had become the estate's anchor. Even the estate's servants could hold their backs a little straighter when they walked the streets of Woundless City.
In both Cao Bao's and Cao Xi'er's eyes, the Man in Black should have been a Golden Core powerhouse with profound magical power, an imposing elder who soared through the skies. His image differed drastically from the youthful Lu Xiaotian before them.
