At the mention of Yan Shu, the expression on Zero's face became incredibly complex.
It was a mixture of fear, apprehension, and even a hint of admiration.
"Yan Shu… That man is terrifying," Zero said slowly.
"When the masters first descended, nearly all of this world's powerful natives were slaughtered. But he, of all people, managed to kill one of the masters in turn. Then he stole the ship that master had used to descend here and escaped into the starry expanse."
'The starry expanse?'
A thought stirred in Wu Liangchen's mind. "So, Yan Shu is still alive?"
Zero shook his head. "That, I don't know. The masters sent pursuers, but no word ever came back. The cosmos is vast. No one knows where he went, or whether he's dead or alive now."
"Afterward, the masters ordered all information regarding Yan Shu to be destroyed and hidden, strictly forbidding anyone from even discussing him."
At this, Zero suddenly smiled—an unsettlingly bizarre smile.
