A hint of anger could be seen in the eyes of the Matriarch and it made the incoming cultivators freeze in place. Their bodies shivered like they were standing in the freezing cold without clothes and their legs trembled like a newborn calf.
They cultivators were stuck like this for a couple of seconds before the Matriarch finally withdrew her gaze.

The group took a breath of relief and felt their control return.
"Now tell me why you shouldn't be punished for intruding in my hall without permission?" The matriarch demanded.
"M-Matriarch! It's something that warranted this intrusion, please forgive us." One of the cultivators said.
"And what might that be?" The matriarch said, easing up a little.
While it was certainly a violation of rules to enter this chamber without permission, the matriarch knew that there wasn't anyone who would dare to break it without a significant reason.
