Yu Dingyi's overbearing behavior infuriated the cultivators, but no one stepped forward to object.
Apart from the Mount-Relying Sect, no local cultivator dared defy the Qingyun Sect unless they had a death wish.
This gave Chen Lin a taste of a Foundation Establishment expert's might. The Qingyun Sect had only one such expert, yet that alone was enough to let them act like this.
Still, he did not believe the Qingyun Sect was capable of pinpointing him so quickly. Unless that scantily clad female cultivator came face-to-face with him, no one else could identify him.
Foundation Establishment cultivators were not gods. Could they turn back time and space?
Seeing everyone's reaction, Yu Dingyi sneered and made a round through the crowd.
"Take off your mask!"
When he reached Chen Lin, he issued the order coldly.
Chen Lin removed his mask without expression, revealing an aged, decrepit face.
Yu Dingyi frowned. Sensing that Chen Lin's cultivation was only at the mid Qi Refinement realm, he walked past without a word.
Although special tracking methods had confirmed that Luo Ziqing's killer had entered Guyuan City, he did not believe a mid Qi Refinement realm cultivator had the strength to kill Luo Ziqing.
After inspecting everyone, Yu Dingyi let the mortals leave.
The cultivation sects had an agreement with the Imperial Court forbidding them from harming mortals without cause. Besides, there was no way an ordinary person could kill a Qi Condensation Level 9 cultivator.
More than twenty cultivators remained. The north gate led toward the Ancient Cultivator Cave Abode, so many cultivators had been coming and going lately.
Chen Lin probed their auras. Among the twenty-odd cultivators, only three were at the early Qi Refinement realm, while four were at the Qi Condensation late stage, including Shen Chongyang of the Mountain-Backing Sect.
