Although I was unaware of the Golden Core cultivator's name, I was aware that he was from the same province as me, if not one close by. He was familiar with me because I was wanted there.
He repeated, "How are you here?" while looking at me from head to toe as if he had just witnessed a ghost.
I didn't feel like giving him a detailed explanation. And why should I? I wanted to kill him, not have a conversation with him.
I asked, "Are you prepared to lose your life here?" as I glared at him with intense hatred.
The Golden Core cultivator began to giggle, perhaps thinking that what I said was funny. Like him, no one else believed that I had already reached the Golden Core stage.
He could not perceive my Qi after I concealed it since my power was greater than his. That was the first sign of how much I had improved since the last time we saw each other, all thanks to the Shadow Mark and the 64 unlocked meridians.
