"Are you the guardian here?"
The suddenly appearing middle-aged man looked calmly at Li An.
Li An was extremely wary, for he had already sensed that the person before him was a... Golden Immortal!
Moreover, the silver needle in his hand was evidently the thing used to break the Dao Mountain's Mountain Protection Array, something of a Taiyi Golden Immortal level treasure or Magical Artifact.
What was this person doing in the Stele Forest?
Li An did not show hostility but rather spoke with considerable respect, "Indeed, may I know if the senior has any urgent matters upon your arrival?"
The middle-aged man, seeing Li An so deferential, smiled slightly and said, "Aren't you going to ask about my identity?"
"If senior wishes to tell me, you naturally would. Otherwise, how could I dare to speak out of turn?"
Somewhat surprised, the middle-aged man found this boy in front of him rather peculiar... quite different from the Dao Sect disciples he had in mind.
