The black shadow was dragged into the valley, entering the lake, and coincidentally came to stand before the enigmatic man within the lake.
He was a man whose visage was obscured, as if enveloped entirely in darkness. Su Yang had passed by this location multiple times before but could not discern the man's appearance.
However, upon arriving here, the black shadow shivered with fear. For it could discern this man clearly.
"I've been wondering why there was chaos within the World Melting Furnace. Turns out there's still a remnant of the Guardian Clan left!" the man's voice was inscrutable, speaking slowly, "These years, seeing you without any actions, I paid no heed. Never thought you harbored such malice, collecting so many Heavenly Warriors' bodies, aiming, perhaps, to establish a new Heavenly Sect?"
The black shadow trembled, speaking in a quivering voice, "Why... why are you still alive?"
"Why shouldn't we be alive?" the man spoke calmly.
