We had been spying on him for a long time before the incident and found no sect symbol or token on him. We confirmed that he was a rogue cultivator. I had not anticipated his strength being so terrifying."
"He appears to have an unusual ability that allows him to suppress his spiritual power!" The woman went on, tears streaming down her cheeks.
