Bad Karma

Silently, Liam approached the place where the three women and the third realm beast were locked in combat, careful to conceal his cultivation with the Mana Mask.

The third realm beast shouldn't be powerful enough to perceive Liam's true strength unless he displays some indications. However, given the circumstances, even if he were to reveal it, the creature wouldn't detect the presence of the boy lurking nearby.

Liam cautiously navigated through the dense bushes and treacherous rocks near the lake, maintaining a safe distance to avoid any potential danger. Initially, he wanted to gain a better understanding of the situation by inspecting the scene of the confrontation.

However, once he caught sight of the area, the signs of a fight, bloodstains, and a lifeless woman's body compelled him to alter his plans.

'Fuck! They were really after me!'

As Liam looked toward those women, members of the Abyss Matriarchs, a shiver ran down his spine.
