At some point, another person appeared in the room.
He emerged like a ghostly apparition, unnoticed by anyone.
Appearing to be in his sixties, dressed in gray, his face dotted with yellow patches, he was unlike other ancient martial arts experts of his age who radiated vitality. He seemed even older than his actual age.
However, the aura he effortlessly emitted was overwhelmingly oppressive to everyone present, especially his seemingly lifeless eyes, intensely piercing like arrows through hearts, discouraging direct eye contact.
This man was Wang Chengfeng, an expert hired by Sikong Yan to deal with Li Huai.
Sikong Yan was not a fool. He knew Li Huai was a formidable adversary and wouldn't naively send lower-level fighters to take him down. Consequently, he had been seeking an expert of Li Huai's caliber.
