The Executioner

"It's getting quite late now, how about we head back, Xialin?" Lin Ke asks Xialin, who was still gazing out into the starry night sky with a look of wonder on her face.

Xialin looks at Lin Ke and nods. "En, let's go back then. Grandma Tan must be worrying right now!"

"Lin Ke." Lily's voice suddenly echoes in Lin Ke's head. "There's someone here."

"Who is it?" Lin Ke asks, his body tensing up a little. 

"I can't tell exactly. However, I can sense that there's a presence here. He's pretty good at concealing his existence but he is currently just below the staircase. 

"Can you tell his cultivation level?" Lin Ke asks.

"No, not really. However, I know that it's probably above the Body tempering Sub-realm. However, if anything, Lia could probably take him out in an instant." Lily says. 

"Could you inform Lia for me then?" Lin Ke says. "I want to see who this person is and what he wants."
