As Emperor Yu, Xia Yu sat there, an aura of imperial majesty emanating from him naturally. This was an air of authority much like that of the monarchs in the mundane world, yet distinct—after all, this was a world of cultivators. The temperament of the Great Emperor of the True Universe was far more formidable than that of any worldly king, carrying an ethereal quality that left Lu Jianyuan and Wu Chengzhi momentarily stunned. Even Long Junfei was taken aback.
They had not expected that Xia Yu’s simple act of sitting would evoke such a profound sense of awe. It suggested that Xia Yu’s inner being forced them to recognize these qualities involuntarily. Who on earth was this Xia Yu to make them feel this way?
While Lu Jianyuan and Wu Chengzhi were mere peripheral members of families affiliated with the Li Family—which was precisely why they had been relegated to a place like Yudan City—their experience and discernment were far beyond what the locals of the Hantang Great World could fathom. They had, after all, seen their own family heads and First Elders; they were accustomed to seeing major figures come and go within their clans. Even if they hadn’t tasted the meat, they had certainly watched the pig run. They had never imagined that Xia Yu would possess a bearing similar to their own leaders, yet one that seemed even more formidable and hair-raising.
