Chapter 87: Confrontation

Upon entering the cavern, it didn't take long for the trio to find where the other cultivators were stuck at. Up ahead, a large Qi barrier stood, blocking the path forward. Judging by the heavy remnant atmosphere of Qi in the air, the cultivators here had probably been stuck for a while.

Sure enough, everyone gathered here matched the energy signatures that Xuan and Fu Mei had sensed. As expected, all of the remaining Eight Great Families had gathered here, having met up here since this was the only way forward into the next area. When they saw the trio that approached, they had mixed reactions. Some were surprised, others were immediately wary. And some… were curious.

The majority of them were human, but… off in the corner, a lone individual stood out among the rest. Only those from higher realms would be able to notice the transcendent aura to him that differed from people of the lower worlds, but there was no doubt about it.

That man—was a High Elf.
