The voice sounded somewhat familiar. Jian Li stepped into the grand hall to find six people already seated—five men and one woman. The one who had spoken was the Mad Monarch of Life and Death from the Pavilion of Life and Death.
During the battle at Nether Valley, Jian Li had crossed paths with him before. The Mad Monarch had constantly wanted to challenge the then-Moyue, but she had completely ignored him, and back then, Mosu had simply worn a cold expression and handled him in her place. It was only after their Tianmo Palace stepped in to help—preventing several other Demonic sects from losing the territory they had secured at Nether Valley, including the Pavilion of Life and Death—that he finally stopped seeking out Moyue. She had not seen this Mad Monarch in over a hundred years, and she had certainly not expected to run into him here.
Jian Li swept her gaze over the six people present. The sole woman possessed a blend of purity and allure, a striking presence that immediately drew the eye. At that moment, she was leaning close to a handsome man. A glance at the jade pendants hanging from their waists—one yin, the other yang—revealed them to be cultivators of the Yin-Yang Gate. The pair glanced briefly at Jian Li before withdrawing their gaze, looking into each other's eyes and murmuring softly, seemingly whispering sweet nothings.
