River Venerable instinctively believed that this was an illusion.
Yet the feeling was far too real, leaving him no room to deny it. The Liu Lineage truly had another Great Ascension Stage expert.
"Senior, may I ask who you are? This junior serves under Longyun Heavenly Venerate. I did not know that a lofty senior was here protecting the Liu Lineage. I hope Senior will show yourself so that we may meet. Perhaps this junior has even heard Lord Heavenly Venerate mention you before." River Venerable immediately bent over and bowed toward the empty air. He spoke and acted alone like a fool, leaving everyone utterly bewildered.
The sight left every person present dazed and confused.
He Yesheng, Liu Jinghong, and Liu Feiyan were all dumbstruck, having no idea what had happened.
Liu Jinghong vaguely heard River Venerable say that a Great Ascension Stage expert was protecting the Liu Lineage, but even he himself had no idea that their Lineage had such an expert guarding it.
Seeing River Venerable's terrified and fearful expression, no one knew what could have frightened him so badly.
River Venerable now looked around with utter unease, terrified that this mysterious Great Ascension Stage expert would fly into a rage and punish him.
Yet no punishment came. Instead, a voice like rolling thunder soon echoed through his mind.
"I am cultivating here and do not wish to be disturbed. Leave at once over the matter of the Liu Lineage today. If you still wish to keep your little life, disappear from before me immediately."
The words sent River Venerable's soul flying out of his body in fright.
Even his master's reputation was useless?
He did not dare say another word. Since this person did not give his master any face, there was nothing he could do.
