The sound of the wind emerged, and the surrounding trees swayed, making Basil Jaak inexplicably tense.
This was the sensation of True Qi violently surging—so intense that it could only mean the arrival of an important figure!
The instincts of Cultivation experts were incredibly sharp, so Basil quickly ducked into a bush behind a massive rock, suppressing his breath and Mental Power, alertly hiding himself.
A moment passed, and Basil dared not release his Mental Power to investigate. With such an influential figure present, any movement might invite discovery.
Thus, he merely tilted his head slightly, glancing toward the clearing where he had stood moments ago. Under the faint moonlight, he saw two silhouettes standing with their backs to him.
Judging by their appearances, one was tall and rugged, the other slim and graceful—a man and a woman.
The two seemed to be talking. Curious, Basil gradually allowed his hearing to sharpen, eavesdropping on their conversation.
