There's Another Fake

(MC POV)

I snapped my fingers in front of Elder Gui's face, causing him to wake up again.

He gasped before hurriedly moving back from me, "Ma… Master Lin… So it wasn't a dream… Umm… How did you get in here?"

"I walked in," I said simply. "You didn't think a barrier like that was able to keep me out, did you?"

"No! No! Of course not! Just… I thought you might have needed to break the barrier first…"

I shrugged, "I got stronger. Anyway, I think it's in your best interest to start explaining what is going on here? Why did you guys lock yourselves in?"

He looked around him, probably only just realising the barrier that I had erected around us.

"Don't bother trying to run or even scream for help," I warned him. "This is basically a better version of your barrier around the Sect, no one can see or hear us so you better start talking."
