"What?"

"What’s going on here?"

"How did we suddenly return to Glass City?"

"..."

In almost an instant, the entire villa had nearly completely exploded, everyone’s expression incredulous, almost believing their ears had misheard or they were hallucinating. It took a while before they recovered and began whispering among themselves because there had been absolutely no sign of it.

Those who had followed Old Master Liu to Azure Waterfront looked at one another, faces even more horrified. Almost everyone of them instantly concluded that Old Master Liu’s return to Glass City must be related to the events that had just transpired!

But what exactly had happened just now?

That it compelled Old Master Liu to make such a decision!

Could it be that the youngster was that terrifying? But it didn’t seem like it, for the youngster didn’t appear so formidable. Moreover, his expression afterward didn’t at all seem like someone who had repelled Old Master Liu; he seemed completely bewildered about what had happened.

Could there be some special artifact on him that blocked Old Master Liu’s attack and forced Old Master Liu to retreat?

In their utter bewilderment, they finally could not suppress the ludicrous idea often found in fantasy novels or Xianxia dramas filled with mythical elements.

While the entire villa was virtually blown apart and everyone was fervently discussing Old Master Liu’s sudden decision in hushed, shocked whispers.

On the second floor of the villa, in an antiquely decorated study filled with the scents of ink and books, there was tranquility.

Old Master Liu sat on an ancient-style chair, weakly clutching his chest.

Opposite him stood a gaunt elderly man.

"You’re injured."

The gaunt old man quietly watched Old Master Liu for several seconds before slowly speaking in an incredibly calm voice. He didn’t ask about the question that everyone else was intensely curious about but instead said something that, if overheard, could once again cause an explosion within the villa.

The renowned Old Master Liu of Glass City, Liu Tianzheng — said to have been among the top ten masters of Glass City sixty years ago with unfathomable cultivation power — had sustained an injury!

"It’s nothing serious."

Old Master Liu waved his hand, a bitter smile on his lips.

The gaunt old man nodded calmly and did not say anything further.

"He made a move!"

After a moment of silence, Old Master Liu looked at the gaunt old man and finally spoke slowly, saying something utterly baffling. As he spoke, his eyes revealed a bitter expression mixed with a complex look of fear.

"So that’s how it is!

Although Old Master Liu’s statement was disjointed and utterly bewildering, leaving no clue as to whom he was referring to, the gaunt old man’s expression, which always remained unflappable no matter the situation as if even the sky falling wouldn’t disrupt his composure, suddenly changed. The pupils of his usually narrowed, lifeless eyes contracted sharply for a moment.

After a while, his expression regained its calm and he whispered four words.

In that moment, all the doubts in his heart were resolved, and everything became clear.

He had made his move!

These four simple words were enough to explain everything.

He had made his move...

It was only natural for Old Master Liu to be forced back, and natural for him to be injured...

He had made his move, so Old Master Liu could only run, only leave, and the faster the better...

He had made his move, so naturally, Old Master Liu could not and would not dare to talk recklessly about it with others, he could only remain silent, and more importantly, there was no need to, because even if he explained, they would not know who ’he’ was, nor would they understand what kind of terrifying existence ’he’ was...

He had made his move, so naturally, he could no longer strike at that child named Xiao Yi...

He had made his move, and naturally, he had to leave G City and return to Glass City.

Because only Glass City was far enough away from G City, only if he was far enough away would he be safe enough!

"Is he his successor?"

After a long time, the gaunt old man slowly let out a sigh, looking at Old Master Liu across from him with a complex expression as he spoke softly.

As he spoke, the image of Xiao Yi’s thin face surfaced in his mind, along with those eyes that showed no fear or panic when facing Old Master Liu’s strike, a deadly destructive strike, and the fierce and resolute expression that flashed across his face, which seemed disproportionate to his slight frame.

Perhaps only ’he’ could train such an outstanding successor!

In the heart of the gaunt old man, some complex thoughts silently passed.

"I don’t know."

A bitter expression crossed Old Master Liu’s face.

He really didn’t know, despite having lived for so long, having reached such an age. In front of Xiao Yi, he even had enough confidence to tell him that, in this world, regardless of which Noble Families or those masters, he knew them all, at least had some understanding of them to some extent.

But...

That one person... was an absolute exception!

People only knew of his mystery and terror, but no one ever knew who he truly was, which sector or family he belonged to...

Even the extent of his formidable strength remained unknown to everyone...

The only thing people knew about him was a phrase he had once said, "Above Condensation, do not enter!"

He had said this sixty years ago.

Since that phrase was spoken, no one dared to enter that place anymore, which, from then on, was regarded as a forbidden territory.

Even G City had become a city of taboo, rarely visited by anyone, especially those above the level of Condensation.

He had come over this time, thinking that as long as he kept as low a profile as possible and avoided the forbidden territory where he resided as much as possible, he should not provoke him. Yet, he had never expected that in the end, he would still stir him up!

He had always thought that he was just staying in that place and would not come out, but only at that moment just now did he realize he was wrong. He had only said, "Above Condensation, do not enter." He had only designated that place as forbidden, but he had never said that he would only stay inside and not come out.
