When the city is steeped in an air of dread due to a horrifying crime, a certain high-rise corner is oddly calm and serene.
This is a spacious platform overlooking a corner of Zhennan Region's Mountain. The mountain view is open and expansive, with thin clouds scattered across.
Two people sit facing each other on the platform. To the left is an elderly man of small and stooping stature, his face lined as if carved by a chisel. He wears grey-brown clothes, his appearance simple and unadorned.
To the right is a tall figure cloaked in black. An eerie bronze mask conceals his face. It's none other than the Divine Envoy who once appeared on Hidden Forest Mountain.
He's now pulling out a brocade box from his sleeve and pushing it in front of the elder.
"I heard that the Black Mountain Village Elder is advancing into the Fifth Realm, so here's a small token of my sincere respect," the Demon Race Divine Envoy speaks politely.
