With the appearance of Cang Yayun, a powerful presence swept across the room like an overwhelming wave, causing everyone's faces to change with alarm.
Then Cang Yayun looked around the room, and with a faint smile said, "I'm very pleased that you all could visit our Puppet Immortal Sect. Today, I would like to drink and be merry with all of you—no one leaves sober!"
Her words led to a stir among those present.
"Sect Leader Cang is too kind!"
"Sect Leader Cang is certainly magnanimous!"
Such flattering voices rose and fell in succession, creating quite a lively scene.
Seeing this, Wan Chengyi sighed lightly. "This recluse is getting more and more formidable. That presence... even if he hasn't made that breakthrough, he's nearly there, isn't he?"
Only Xue An stood quietly at a distance, his face wearing a faint, almost imperceptible smile, his thoughts unknown.
The banquet officially began.
