The people inside the house were startled by the sudden crash.
Zhong Sheng immediately called out toward the yard, "What happened!?"
However, no one outside answered him.
After waiting a while without a response, Zhong Sheng's heart sank.
"Dad, something seems wrong. The guards outside haven't answered or raised any alarm. Could a powerful cultivator have subdued them all in an instant?"
Zhong Lei frowned as he looked toward the yard and spoke in a low voice.
"Cultivators? Hah! With Immortal Master Dou here, I'd like to see who's got the nerve to cause trouble at the Zhong family's home!"
Zhong Sheng gave a scornful laugh, then turned to Dou Jingchen.
Dou Jingchen was calmly holding a cup of tea. He took a small sip and said evenly, "Exactly. With me here, you can all rest easy."
"Let me use my Divine Sense to see who dares to cause trouble here!"
With that, Dou Jingchen set down his teacup and immediately released his Divine Sense to investigate...
Meanwhile, Ning Wangshu was walking unhurriedly toward the main room of the Zhong family's courtyard. Suddenly, he sensed a Divine Sense sweeping over him. His brows lifted, and the corner of his mouth curled into a cold smile.
"Divine Sense? Hah..."
The next moment, he flicked a finger, releasing a surge of power.
In an instant, a soft bang rang through the air, which trembled inexplicably...
At the same time.
Inside the main room of the Zhong family's home, Dou Jingchen's expression suddenly changed. A look of shock and terror crossed his face. He let out a muffled groan and staggered, a thin trickle of bright red blood slowly spilling from the corner of his mouth...
Zhong Sheng and the others were horrified at the sight.
"Immortal Master Dou, what's wrong?"
Zhong Sheng
