The few individuals, respectively, are Golden Core cultivators from the Celestial Joy Sect, Cloud Peak Sect, and Golden Light Sect.
In particular, a middle-aged man named Master Kong Chen from the Celestial Joy Sect.
Although the other party concealed it very well, Ji Haoyuan still felt traces of malice from him.
He could confirm that this should be their first encounter.
But where does this seemingly half-hearted malice towards him come from?
There is only one explanation.
That is, the other party must have detected, through some connection or secret technique, that he killed their sect's cultivators in the Thousand Streams Secret Realm days ago.
Indeed.
One must not underestimate anyone in the Cultivation Realm.
Especially in such Golden Core sects with many years of heritage.
Maybe they have some Daoist skill or secret technique that locks onto the murderer of their sect's cultivators under certain conditions or proximity.
