The man who was still selling food at his stall saw the robed man, and he couldn't help but feel nervous inside. He did not know what he would say if this man asked about his task or anything related to the spiritual beast group.
But then, suddenly, the robed man disappeared, which left him stunned. He looked around but did not see the robed man anywhere. He wondered if this was what Emperor Aldrian meant by taking care of the robed man.
Unknown to him, in the dungeon beneath Aldrian's palace, the man was already there, with Aldrian standing in front of him. The robed man stood motionless or rather, he couldn't do anything at all because of Aldrian's spatial lock. Aldrian had instantly sealed his cultivation the moment they appeared here, both to weaken him and to prevent him from committing suicide by exploding his dantian.
