Not far away from where the badger was running, the experts attacking the badger noticed a middle-aged man deep inside one of the mountains in the surroundings.
'Who are you?!' They asked through Divine Sense. Immediately, three Space-Time Realm experts detached from the group, going after the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man seemed shocked to have suddenly been contacted, and he immediately coughed several mouths of blood. His cultivation went chaotic, and he grunted as if he had just received an extremely painful attack.
Those three who came to check who it was understood the situation in an instant. That guy was cultivating in this place, hidden from the outside world. The formation he was using wasn't all that good, so when they got close enough, they were able to see him inside the concealing formation. Even worse for the middle-aged man, they contacted him just as he was at an important moment of his cultivation, and the backlash from that shock was pretty bad.
