At the stairway, everyone watched Qin Tao, waiting for him to show his might and teach the disheveled man a lesson.
But after a while, Qin Tao still stood where he was, motionless. One by one, they stared in confusion.
The three Saint Martial Grandmasters the Qin family had assigned to protect Qin Tao seemed to sense something. Their expressions changed.
"Something's wrong! Someone's targeting Young Master Qin Tao!"
"Who is it?"
"You've got some nerve! Young Master Qin Tao is a Qin Core Direct Descendant and an offspring of the Sword Martial King. How dare you attack him!"
The three Guards roared threats as they rushed over, scanning their surroundings warily.
They shouted like that for one simple reason...
They couldn't sense where the enemy was.
It was as if the other person didn't exist at all.
The young men and women who had accompanied Qin Tao were dumbfounded. Never had they imagined anyone would dare target him.
He was a direct descendant of the Qin family and an Inspector of Eastpeace City! His standing was on par with the Eastpeace City Lord's.
Qin Tao was shocked and terrified. An invisible force bore down on him. Forget moving—he couldn't even circulate the True Qi in his body.
He had a feeling that, if the other person wished it, a single thought could kill him.
He couldn't speak or move.
He could only stand there.
Who is it? Who dares attack me?
I'm at the True Martial Realm Ninth Layer. To suppress me so completely, they'd have to be at least a Venerable Martial Venerable. But I have a Qin family Token, refined by Ancestor Qin Ming. It contains a wisp of a Sovereign's power and can withstand a Creation-level attack. At the very least, it should warn me.
