Shenlian Yingyue sensed the menacing presence as well. Ignoring her disheveled state, she leaned out from behind Tuzi AoFen to glimpse the newcomer.
"So, you've finally shown up. Living a comfortable life here, were you? But you might not realize that your ascension has thrown the nine realms into turmoil," the imposing figure sneered, amusement dancing in his eyes.
