Chen Xuan deemed this highly likely; after all, seventeen years ago, he had been the new Evil Emperor of the Demon Sect, a figure who had shaken the entire Mountain-Sea Realm and commanded power even greater than Li Longyuan’s. It was only natural that the Emperor would not feel at ease having a young tiger roaming freely at the heart of his territory.
