Serpent Ancestor

The bald old man looked no different from a mortal, with no trace of spiritual power within him. His demeanor and the way he bent down to wipe the floor, sweating profusely and panting heavily, all suggested he was just an ordinary old man.

However, would an ordinary old man be assigned to clean a place like the Treasure Pavilion?

Even without thinking too hard, it's obvious that's impossible.

"A master, definitely a master!"

Hai Teng, as if struck by a sudden realization, quickly bowed and cupped his fists, "Greetings, senior. I apologize for not recognizing you. We'll leave immediately!"

He then pulled Xu Hei along, whispering urgently, "Xu Hei, something's off. This person is very strong, definitely a master!"@@novelbin@@

Xu Hei frowned, "Did you notice something?"

"It's how they always write it in the books," Hai Teng whispered back.

"..." Xu Hei was at a loss for words.

The bald old man seemed oblivious to their conversation, continuing with his work as he said, "The Dragon Subduing Pavilion is off-limits to outsiders. Violators will either have their cultivation abolished or be killed on the spot."

"Since you two aren't disciples of the Snake Catchers Sect, your cultivation will have to be abolished."

The bald old man spoke calmly and without surprise.

Xu Hei's breathing quickened, and his brow furrowed.

At this moment, he felt no sense of danger, which was puzzling.
