Chapter 225: Chapter 225: New Guest

Eren's expression remained indifferent as he watched the Great Elder Liang approach.

The old man's face was twisted with rage, and his palm came towards Eren's chest with great strength.

Without a moment's hesitation, Eren's guardian spirit, Yelen, stepped forward, her eyes gleaming with a cold light. The old man had gone too far. It was time for him to learn that there were some people he couldn't touch.

As Great Elder Liang's palm strike neared, Eren raised his hand ever so slightly, not to defend but as a signal to Yelen.

Yelen didn't understand. Why was Eren trying to stop her even now? Was he trying to get hurt?

She couldn't risk his life, even if it was to follow his command. However, looking at his confident eyes, she thought that maybe he had a reason. He also wasn't someone who was going to put his life on the line for something like that.

Eren didn't even flinch as the old man appeared right before him. He simply looked down at the old man's palm which was only a few inches away from his chest when it stopped.

Although the attack didn't touch him, the momentum that accompanied it was enough to send a gust, making his robe and hair fly with the wind.

As for the realm that the attack didn't connect with him, it wasn't because the old man was considerate. Inside, it was because someone had grabbed the old man's wrist.

"Urgh!" Soon after, it was the old man who was groaning in pain as the person who grabbed his wrist almost crushed them with their strength.

He tried to pull his hand back, but he wasn't able to.

"You! Let me go!" The old man exclaimed, looking at the petite figure of the woman that was standing next to Eren. It was the same woman who stopped him, being none other than Zia.

To some extent, he felt that it was even closing in on the purity of the sect master's aura. Surprised and curious, he turned around and saw a woman.

Her eyes were pitch black, no difference between her pupils and the rest of the eye which was supposed to be white. It was all black, as if she was a true demoness.

The woman was as tall as him. Amongst the woman he came across, she could be considered the tallest. Even though she didn't feel as strong as the Sect Master, she wasn't too far behind either.

Eren didn't understand. Who was this person? Even he felt a danger in her presence. In the novel, there was no person with such physical traits.

Even Zia was taken aback when she saw that person. She released the old man's wrist as the mysterious woman approached them.

In the Sect, it was easy to recognise a disciple based on their clothes. Similarly, Elders and Great Elders could be recognised with the color of their robes.

Although the mysterious woman was also wearing a robe, it was neither the color of an Elder or the color of the Great Elder.

Despite the suppressive feeling that came from this woman and the face that he was seeing for the first time, he had a familiar feeling coming from this woman.

The woman didn't stop for even a second. She walked past Eren and the others, not even sparing a second glance to any of them. Soon, she disappeared from the hallway, entering the main hall where the Sect Master disappeared from.

A few minutes had passed when another person stepped inside the Palace. It was a man who looked very kind from his facial features but beneath that exterior, some signs of treachery could be seen in his eyes.

He was wearing a similar color robe to the woman who had just entered, but he appeared much weaker. Still, even when weak, he was stronger than any Great Elder present here.

Unlike the woman before him, the man stopped next to Eren.
