The Old Man

"Another beast?" Alex asked, not understanding what was happening. He, along with everyone else had released their spiritual sense, and it reached nowhere near far enough to cover anything that could've used its spiritual sense on them.

Then, something flew into the range of their senses. Before they knew it, it was already near them.

Elder Yao and Commander Jianyu moved at the same time, arriving outside the ship one after another to intercept the person who had come.

The man stopped a few dozen meters from the two, his hair and beard scraggly, his robes mostly torn.

"Who are you?" the commander asked.

The old man stayed quiet and simply looked around. They could see his eyes as well as sense his spiritual sense move through them, as if looking for something.

Alex frowned a little and stepped in front of the many alchemists just in case they needed to be protected.

"Let me into your ship," the man said with a hoarse voice.
