Lili Ling huffed at him. “If you could do this, why did you wait until now?”
“Because this technique takes a lot of concentration to use, especially when I have to sense distortions in time and space,” Wu Jian answered. They were about to turn a corner when he paused, his eyes narrowing. “Everyone, stop!”
“What is it?” asked Tang Tiantian.
“Multiple people are coming this way,” he said.
Tang Tiantian narrowed her eyes as she and the other guards readied themselves. A sense of tension hung in the air. It was like everyone had stopped breathing. Lili Ling hid behind her master, who moved further back to give the cultivators who would fight room to maneuver. While all this was happening, Wu Jian kept his senses open, watching as the people coming toward them drew ever closer.
