That feeling of being watched carried with it a sense of hostility. Three early Foundation Establishment stage cultivators... Li Guanxuan’s divine sense expanded rapidly, sensing three distinct energy flows. They had come to cause trouble, to teach me a lesson... Li Guanxuan quickly linked the thought to Murong Li. Perhaps it was because of his attitude today that Murong Li felt displeased. After all, previously he was but a lowly Qi Refining stage cultivator, and now, having transformed into a mighty Foundation Establishment master, he dared to show disrespect to a second-rank mid-grade pill master.
“A few of you...” Li Guanxuan sighed deeply, helplessly saying, “Recently, Silver Maple City has put the magical restrictions into effect. If you make a move against me and the city guards arrive, you won’t die but you’ll certainly be skinned alive. Best leave now; don’t fall into Murong Li’s trap. I am a second-rank talisman master, and the talismans I carry can instantly summon the guards. If things escalate, I can even summon the city lord of Silver Maple... You wouldn’t want to be expelled from Silver Maple City, would you?”
With that, Li Guanxuan shook his head and walked toward the inner city. The three early Foundation Establishment cultivators posed no real threat to him. Now that he had two second-rank puppets, along with his own strength and various magical tools, if a life-or-death battle erupted, he could even kill these three. Among them, two were first-level Foundation Establishment, and Murong Li was third-level. If five such cultivators had come to ambush him, he would have fled without hesitation, not daring to utter a word.
Watching Li Guanxuan walk away, the two first-level Foundation Establishment cultivators hidden in the shadows exchanged glances. They had wanted to act, but hearing Li Guanxuan’s words, they immediately hesitated. Silver Maple City had indeed enforced magical restrictions recently. Any cultivator daring to duel openly during this period risked punishment ranging from public flogging to expulsion or even execution. They had just broken through Foundation Establishment and had yet to enjoy its benefits; there was no way they’d risk their lives over such a trivial matter.
The two chose to retreat. Murong Li ground his teeth, glaring fiercely at Li Guanxuan’s departing back. He had intended to teach Li Guanxuan a lesson to make him learn respect but did not expect Li Guanxuan to sense his move and defuse the situation with just a few words. Yet, provoking a second-rank talisman master during the magical restriction period was indeed foolish. Who knew what talismans Li Guanxuan held? As a second-rank talisman master, he surely possessed many offensive and defensive talismans, and some masters even specialized in escape talismans. Facing such a master skilled in evasion, one could forget about grabbing even the hem of his robe.
“Pill Master Murong, my brother and I truly cannot act; please forgive us,” one said with a bitter smile, bowingI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
