Han Yu's heart nearly stopped.
For the first time in many years, genuine danger surged through his mind so intensely that even his soul trembled slightly. It was not fear born from battle or pressure. Han Yu had faced Dao Treading realm cultivators before. He had stood before the Ancestors of the Blood Sect and even manipulated the entire sect from the shadows for years.
Yet none of those moments had made him feel like this.
This man had looked at him once and immediately seen through something no one else in the world should have known.
Han Yu instinctively took half a step back.
The three women immediately noticed the reaction.
Qing Luan frowned first.
"Han Yu?" she called out in confusion.
Xuan Qing also looked startled. Han Yu was always calm and calculating. Even when things became dangerous he usually remained composed. Seeing him react this way instantly alarmed her.
Madam Cold Fang narrowed her eyes sharply.
The atmosphere around the river suddenly became tense.
