Inside the grotto.
"It's been a long time, Chengying."
Jueying stepped forward and cupped his hands in a salute, a rare look of gravity on his face.
Unlike Phantom Zhenren, who was purely there to make up the numbers.
This Chengying, guardian of Dingfeng Port, was his equal in both combat power and seniority.
In fact, he was the former leader of the 'Four Shadows'!
If he hadn't stepped down voluntarily due to his advanced age and dwindling lifespan, the leadership of the 'Four Shadows' would never have fallen to Jueying!
Therefore, even someone like him had to show Chengying sufficient respect.
"Jueying…"
"It has been a long while."
The old man in gray robes, who resembled a withered tree, replied in a hoarse voice.
He slowly opened his eyes, and a soul-stirring glint of light flashed through his murky pupils!
"Ugh…"
Phantom Zhenren's heart leaped. Those eyes seemed as if they could see right through her soul!
