Lin Xiao saw Qi Tian's reaction and immediately asked, "You've seen this kind of method before?"
"Heard of it."
Qi Tian walked to the corner of the wall. "The residual aura is very faint. If this aura weren't incompatible with this formation, perhaps neither you nor I would have discovered it."
"Look, this is the surveillance footage from just now."
Lin Xiao opened the surveillance footage obtained from national security and showed it to Qi Tian.
"This mass of shadow?"
Qi Tian looked at the footage, and with Nangong Wushuang's brief explanation of what had happened, his brows furrowed. "This... it's troublesome."
"Do you know who it is?"
"I do, but I'm not sure what kind of force it is. I only know that these people are called 'Shadow Assassins.' One of their characteristics is the ability to blend into the night and shadows. This is their most vexing skill." As the young master of the Qi Sect, he was naturally well-informed and recognized the intruder's origin immediately.
However, even he could only discern the origin of this person.
He knew nothing else.
Lin Xiao pressed for details, but Qi Tian was as clueless as ever.
"I don't know any more detailed information. If that old gentleman from the Wuhou lineage were here, he might know," Qi Tian said under Lin Xiao's questioning.
"Mr. Zhuge..."
Lin Xiao could only sit quietly on the sofa, waiting for Zhuge Lan's arrival.
After all, Zhuge Lan was traveling with Dongfang Jingjing, so a slight delay was normal.
"Miss Nangong, if you need to rest, I'll have someone prepare a guest room for you. Or, if you wish to return and rest, I won't stop you. I must thank you properly tonight," Lin Xiao said to Nangong Wushuang, who sat beside him, looking quite uneasy.
Nangong Wushuang dared not even breathe heavily at this moment.
The pressure emanating from Lin Xiao and Qi Tian, both divine realm experts, was palpable. She felt as though even taking a deep breath was a strain, and she subconsciously became cautious.
Who was this person?
Why was he so powerful? In her perception, the pressure he exerted was almost the same as Lin Xiao's.
Were they both legendary divine realm experts?
Was this a case of birds of a feather flocking together?
Nangong Wushuang swallowed and said, "I'm fine... I also want to hear about the 'Shadow Assassins.'"
The more she knew about this unknown force, the better she could advise the Nangong family against provoking them. The Nangong family could not afford any more accidents.
"If I may be blunt."
Qi Tian observed Nangong Wushuang. "Based on the aura of the cultivation technique you exhibit, you must be the heir of the Nangong family. I have a suggestion: if you don't want your Nangong family to inadvertently fall into an inescapable vortex, it's best that you don't know these things."
"I..."
"At the very least, don't sit here, otherwise, it's not impossible that people from the 'Shadow Assassins' might target you in the future," Qi Tian said indifferently to Nangong Wushuang. "Your life alone is a problem. Your Nangong family has existed in this secular world for hundreds of years. If it were to be destroyed because of your curiosity, your ancestors would likely crawl out of their graves to discipline you."
Nangong Wushuang's words were swallowed back down her throat.
