The background of Huang Dengdao had been thoroughly investigated by the Xiezi Bureau. He was the master of the Spirit-Slaying Bureau on the Flying Immortal Star, a Fourth-Turn Immortal Venerable. A figure of such immense power, yet he did not go to the realms better suited for beings of the Immortal Realm. Instead, he chose to live in "Broken Ruins," a place where the strongest cultivators were merely at the Dao Integration Stage and even Tribulation was a rare sight. Furthermore, his living conditions were mediocre; one could say he had gone to extreme lengths to conceal his identity as a member of the Spirit-Slaying Bureau.
Daoist Que stood by the window. Fearing his gaze might be detected, he only watched out of the corner of his eye, appearing as if he were simply admiring the scenery of Broken Ruins. Fang Chen, meanwhile, sat in a chair with his eyes closed. His spirit had already reached the space above Huang Dengdao, observing him at close range.
Although this Huang Dengdao was a scion of the Imperial clan and the master of the local Spirit-Slaying Bureau, his attire was incredibly plain. The quality of his dharma robe was low—a mere Profound-tier Dharmic Treasure—making it completely unremarkable in Broken Ruins. He wore a scholarly long beard, and as he walked, he greeted the nearby shopkeepers constantly, clearly very familiar with them.
