Theron landed lightly on the ground, finding the situation a bit ridiculous. They were so incompetent that he could have actually escaped a long time ago if that had been his main goal.
The greatest issue with that was actually Elder Black, and Elder Black alone. There was no one else keeping tabs on him, and though she thought that he couldn't sense her clearly, that was far from the truth.
The more Theron learned about the world of cultivation—a world that he had never truly been interested in until he was forced into this life—the more he realized how exceptional his Third Eye was.
Compared to most Gold Mancers he came across these days, he was far superior. And before his Resonance breakthrough, Elder Black was one of the few he couldn't see through, but now he knew her cultivation maybe better than she did.
