As they were only a few dozen meters away from the entrance that Huojin had unlocked, the space in front of them began to ripple.
Five massive silhouettes materialized abruptly, blocking the passage. They wore white-gold armors stamped with the seal of the Dao Temple. The spiritual pressure they released instantly left no doubt about their level: five Overlords.
At the exact moment they sensed BaiShe's Qi signature... or rather, the Qi of the intruders... the guards activated. Their eyes lit up with a golden glow.
" Intruders detected... " boomed one of the guards, his voice resounding like a death knell. " You are defiling this area with your impure presence. Retreat or be purified by the will of the Dao. "
BaiShe stopped, adjusting his monocle nonchalantly.
" Purified? " repeated BaiShe with a light melodious laugh. " This young scholar has simply come to discuss with his martial brother. Your manners really leave something to be desired for servants of the Temple. "
