Su Yen was preparing to retreat to the ancestral mountain when he felt a powerful presence emanating from deep within the Dreadshade forest.
"This isn't the aura of a grade-2 beast..." His voice trailed off as he sensed the growing tension in the air. His expression turned solemn, his brows furrowing as he pondered the source of this formidable energy.

From the depths of the Dreadshade forest, an old man with a bald head emerged, walking at a leisurely pace in the direction of the Celestial Heavenly Sect. His appearance was unassuming, but the aura he exuded was far from it.
"How could those useless fools allow humans to reside in our territory?" He growled in anger, his voice carrying a deep, unsettling resonance.
