Chapter 44: The Gathering of The Xu Clan Experts (2)

Patriarch Xu Canghai stood at the very center, his late-stage Core Formation aura unrestrained. Violent arcs of purple lightning cascaded off his robes, scorching the floor beneath his boots. The oppressive weight of his wrath was so palpable that the guards stationed at the courtyard walls had all collapsed to their knees, struggling to breathe.

Within moments of the Thunder Sense echoing across the estate, the sky above the courtyard distorted.

A massive wine gourd descended lazily from the clouds. Sitting cross-legged atop it, his loose white tunic flapping in the wind, was Xu Zifeng. He possessed a youthful, handsome face flushed with the rosy tint of wine.

"Ah, Patriarch," Xu Zifeng greeted, a carefree smile across his face. "Summoning us all at this hour? I was right in the middle of a very important matter. This early-stage Core Formation rat better be incredibly entertaining, or I am going to be severely disappointed."
