They all had human bodies and the heads of demons or spirits, most frequently featuring dragon heads or various beasts, resembling civil and military courtiers, adorned in gold and jade, radiating a divine aura. The patterns and regulations on their clothing followed the same lineage as those of the kings and high officials from the Tongxian Palace. Nevertheless, only six of the eight seats laid out in front of them were occupied; two were empty, reserved with food and drinks, but no demon gods were present.
Moreover, in addition to these eight demon gods, as Li Fan looked around, he noticed that the demon god dominating his field of vision, though in the principal position, was not seated in the place of honor. To his left, there was another demon god with a dragon's head and black scales, whose status was seemingly comparable to that of 'Meng Guang', the divine lord currently in view. When the latter caught Li Fan's eye, he even raised his wine cup as a toast.
