Most of the people who come to play in the game hall are young, dressed casually, and wearing joyful smiles on their faces.

Lin Tian scanned around and didn’t see a single suspicious person.

"Let’s see where you’ll hide!" With his eyes slightly squinted, he activated his X-ray vision, and the scene before him instantly became clear.

Through the row of arcade machines in the back, Lin Tian quickly found the suspicious person.

Wearing a thick down jacket, with a tall stature and about seventy years old, he was sitting motionlessly on a game motorcycle.

When Lin Tian saw this person, he was momentarily stunned.

How could it be this old man? What is he doing here?

The person sitting on the game motorcycle was obviously the great elder of the Family Alliance.

"Could it be..."

A thought popped into Lin Tian’s head: even after leaving Luoyan Dock, this old man still wants to kill Ruyan?

Suddenly, the great elder seemed to sense something. He abruptly looked up and opened his heavy eyes.

Those clear eyes were extraordinarily fierce, and the murderous aura seemed to lock onto Lin Tian through space.

"Holy shit!" Lin Tian was immediately startled, his hairs standing on end! It was a delusion of being stared at by death!

Is this old man for real? Even at such a distance and out of sight, he could sense something amiss?

Soon, Lin Tian confirmed his suspicion; the old man indeed realized Lin Tian had discovered him. Because those fierce eyes, even through a row of arcade machines, remained fixed on him.

"What’s wrong?" Bai Shishi tugged at Lin Tian’s clothes and said, "Come on, let’s PK!"

Lin Tian snapped back to reality, smiled at Bai Shishi, and said, "You play by yourself. I ran into someone I know and need to say hello."

"Another acquaintance?" Bai Shishi asked discontentedly, "Is it that beauty again?"

Lin Tian confidently replied, "No! It’s an old man."

"Alright then, go ahead."

"Okay." Lin Tian responded, then greeted Liou Qingcheng and the others and walked straight toward the great elder.

Throughout the process, the old man’s gaze never left him, accurate as a satellite’s targeting!

As he watched Lin Tian approach, the great elder asked coldly, "How did you find me?"

"And how did you find me?" Lin Tian chuckled, sitting on the game motorcycle beside him, as if they were truly old friends.

The great elder glanced at Lin Tian indifferently and said, "In this world, everyone has their aura. As a Golden Core expert, sensing the auras of those around isn’t difficult. Moreover, your aura is peculiar, very similar to someone else’s."

The elder’s tone was very grave.

This explanation Lin Tian could accept. Martial artists enhance their strength through Qi Cultivation, and at a certain level, sensing the auras and magnetic fields around is not difficult.

Lin Tian was already an advanced martial artist; achieving this was possible, just a bit more challenging and required extreme focus!

"Oh? Someone with an aura like mine? I’m quite interested, do tell." Lin Tian asked curiously.

"You tell me first, how did you discover me?" the great elder asked stubbornly.

Such a stubborn old man.

"Simple, just like you. I can also sense people’s auras; yours is unique. No matter how you suppress it, your murderous aura can’t hide your heart demon, right?" Lin Tian smiled as he asked, "Now, can you tell me?"

After a two-second silence, the elder uttered six words: "**** Leader!"

"Hmm?"

Lin Tian was stunned again. **** Leader? What could I possibly have to do with him?

Soon, he realized. His cultivation in the "Tyrant Emperor’s Record" aura is akin to reigning over the world. Doesn’t that match with that prominent figure? 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

This truly left Lin Tian in a mix of laughter and tears at such a misunderstanding.

"What ties do you have with the ** Leader? You must be his confidant?" The great elder scrutinized Lin Tian up and down, yet couldn’t see through this person.

If Lin Tian nodded now, the great elder would certainly believe him.

Because this person’s background was incredibly mysterious, many things didn’t add up, yet he could produce so many rare elixir recipes, heart methods, and cultivation techniques. Government support was very likely.

If this were true, things were indeed serious!

The great elder always believed Luoyan Dock monopolized the vast majority of cultivation resources; he didn’t expect the state to be so abundant!

If that were true, then Luoyan Dock would be completely insignificant. Because the nation surely conceals such a formidable power!

"No."

"No?" The great elder was taken aback, then glared at Lin Tian, lowly snarling, "Impossible! There must be a connection given your aura similarity!"

The great elder’s perception was preconceived. Lin Tian’s denial was assumed to be because it was a confidential matter, not to be publicized!

Lin Tian found it amusing that in this era, the truth was hardly believed!

He shrugged, unconcernedly replied, "Think whatever you want."

In the great elder’s eyes, this was akin to admission.

"I wonder, why are you following me? Are you thinking of making a move against Ruyan?" Lin Tian inquired.

"That’s my business, not yours."

Lin Tian’s expression turned grim, what do you mean it’s none of my business? It’s a big deal!

"I merely asked you to escort me out of Luoyan Dock. There’s no need to follow me for so long, right?"

"The escort task, I’ve already fulfilled. Now that the promise is fulfilled, what the old me decides to do has nothing to do with you anymore."

In his eyes, Lin Tian saw nothing but intent to kill.

"If you dare touch Ruyan, I won’t let you succeed," Lin Tian stated with great seriousness.

"Oh? I’m curious, what makes you say such things? Just because you have ties with the ** Leader?" The great elder sneered disdainfully, "Kid, I wouldn’t be stopped by anyone if I want to kill! And since it’s someone from the Xu Family, it’s an internal feud between aristocratic families that even the Leader would allow."

The great elder arrogantly tapped Lin Tian’s shoulder and said, "Not killing you is already giving his excellency a lot of face!"

Lin Tian said gravely, "If you dare act on her, you won’t be alive much longer! I haven’t given you the cultivation technique yet; when your heart demon can’t be suppressed, even if you’re alive, you’d be nothing but a walking corpse."

"Are you threatening me?!" The great elder’s voice became hoarse, the murderous aura in his eyes couldn’t be concealed. "I don’t mind killing you!"
