The young-looking member of the Ghost Tribe was trembling and faltering as he tried to explain himself to Li Fan, occasionally looking up to gauge Li Fan's expression.
But how could such a rustic fool clearly perceive the visage of the Heavenly Emperor?

"The darkness, as always, responded to me..."
At this point, all ten plus Ghost Tribe members within the secret room simultaneously dropped to their knees in extreme fear.
Clearly, this phenomenon had occurred to each one of them as well.
With a slight wave of his hand, Li Fan helped them all rise.
