A crushing pressure assaulted the cultivator's back after his warning, indicating the man had no chance of escaping.

"How many people did they send to find her, and what skill level are they?" Kaze asked, increasing the pressure slightly.
"T-Team of ten." Jacob winced, "Seven high-Heaven Realm cultivators, two early Divine Realm, and one Sky Lord."
The emperor smiled, seeing that the Killian faction respected her strength so highly they sent someone ostensibly stronger than her with nine high-level helpers.
"Last question: where are they searching for her?" Kaze asked coldly.
