When Liu Zhi was first provoked, he had already sensed that something was wrong. Although he wasn't a player from the Dayil Continent, he was already a Mythical player, and he had some basic means of perception.
Back in his own plane, he had been able to extend his perception across an entire starfield. A small city like this was easy enough to investigate.
He hadn't done so earlier simply to give the Lord of the Underworld some face.
But once he realized someone was targeting him, Liu Zhi wasn't going to hold back.
So when he grabbed the Lich by the throat, he had already extended part of his perception, locking onto every player nearby.
The way Liu Zhi used his perception was far more powerful than it had been when he was merely Divine.
At the Divine level, although he could see far, his perception wasn't very precise. Others at the same level could easily sense it.
Now that Liu Zhi had reached the Mythical level, his control over his perception had naturally improved greatly.
At the very least, no one besides the Lord of the Underworld could sense his outward perception. Even Divine-level beings couldn't feel his gaze.
So Liu Zhi immediately noticed several Divine-level gazes paying attention to this area, whether intentionally or not.
But their attention was rather strange.
They were deliberately avoiding Liu Zhi.
Under normal circumstances, Divine-level players wouldn't deliberately avoid Liu Zhi.
They didn't even know there was someone like him in the city.
Yet they were doing so now, which made it clear that they were trying to keep Liu Zhi from noticing their gazes.
In this situation, Liu Zhi actually smiled.
If those people had dared to look directly at him, Liu Zhi might not have noticed them at all.
