Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Yang Zhenshan approached the central building while pricking up his ears to listen to the sounds around him.

There were two postal couriers talking in the gatehouse to the left, and four sleeping in the room to the right; there were six horses in the stable ahead.

Yang Zhenshan could hear the breathing coming from each room distinctly.

Indeed, such a night was more advantageous to him; darkness might obstruct sight but not his hearing.

On the contrary, the quiet environment maximized his auditory abilities.

If he were in a noisy environment, it would be impossible for Yang Zhenshan to distinguish the sounds of breathing.

A moment later, he noiselessly arrived behind the central building of the post station.

Pressing his ear against the cold wall, he carefully listened to everything inside.

Three breathing sounds.

One was very steady, seemingly asleep, while the other two were faint.

Faint did not mean these two people were weak, but rather that they were controlling their breathing to be stable and slow.

Yang Zhenshan was no stranger to this situation; only Martial Artists above the fifth layer of the Postnatal Realm could control their breathing so.

In fact, this was a breathing technique, not some marvelous ability, just a resting method for Postnatal Realm Martial Artists.

When unable to sleep, Postnatal Martial Artists could enter a state akin to hibernation by controlling their breathing.

In this state, their bodies could get adequate rest, their spirits could alleviate fatigue, and they could still remain alert to their surroundings.

However, usually, only those whose cultivation reached the fifth layer of the Postnatal Realm could grasp this way of resting.

That is to say, apart from Su Shanyu, there were two other Martial Artists inside above the fifth layer of the Postnatal Realm.

Under this circumstance, it was practically impossible to sneak in silently; forced entry was the only option.
