The Unorthodox Faction Elder could sense that the killing intent had come from about 50 kilometers away, which startled him slightly. Although it's easy for someone at his level to sense or hear things up to a few dozen kilometers away, it's not so easy for someone to specifically direct their killing intent at a particular area from that far away.
'Is someone targeting me to draw me away from the mine?'
The Elder guessed, but then he sneered.
'So what? If they're trying to lure me out, it means they aren't strong enough to confront me head-on. If they can't face me head-on, they must not be at the Mortal Shedding Realm yet.'
His thought process was a bit simple, but he wasn't necessarily wrong. He's only at the 1st Stage of the Mortal Shedding Realm. So, as long as someone was within the Mortal Shedding Realm, theoretically, they should be able to confront him.
Anyone below that level would be forced to resort to petty tricks.
