Boom!
A muffled sound erupted as a towering tree in the southeast direction snapped in half with a thunderous crash, collapsing to the ground as dust clouds rose all around.
Emerging from the billowing smoke, a man in colorful clothing, with a white headscarf and dark skin, brushed the dust off his body and walked out calmly and unhurriedly.
As his footsteps drew closer, his features became clearer.
He was a middle-aged man, roughly in his forties or fifties, with triangular eyes, high nose bridge, and thin lips, exuding an air of indifference and emitting a formidable aura of killing intent.
He was Canan, the personal bodyguard of Bai Chongzong, the family head of the Bai Family, which was the leader of the four major families in Beipu. He was an absolute expert at the peak of the Threefold Master Realm.
The flying knives just now had been thrown by Canan.
"Being able to detect my presence, you're pretty good!"
