But the commotion had attracted a real expert.
As the winds howled, a man in bright red robes gracefully touched down, followed by four women in colorful dresses, each holding a sword in their arms.
"How dare you intruders breach the Nangong family's territory!" The man in red was pale and ageless, with bright, gleaming eyes that emitted a sinister light.
He pushed forward, calling forth a surge of blood Sha shadows to bear down on Chu Liang and Ling Ao.
"I'll deal with him," declared Ling Ao, taking the lead, "You tackle those ladies!"
He sensed that this red robed man surpassed himself in cultivation, fearing that Chu Liang might be at a disadvantage, Ling Ao chose to take on this threat.
"I..." Chu Liang hesitated but saw that Ling Ao had already leapt into action. He chose not to stop him, instead facing the four women wielding swords.
