After the formalities, a lotus constructed of golden light materialized beneath Xiao Shan Lord. He sat enthroned upon it and called out a name, "Yu Zuo!"
Instantly, an Artifact Cultivator clad in tight-fitting, gray-black leather armor appeared before Xiao Shan Lord. Under the golden light, his armor glinted with an eerie, blood-red halo. A green, illusory image of a stag rested on his shoulder, flickering in time with the crimson glow.
"His Celestial Dao Cause and Effect is entirely malicious!"
Yu Lian poked her small head out of Wang Ping's sleeve, concealing her aura as she observed the Artifact Cultivator named Yu Zuo and communicated with Wang Ping in his Spirit Sea.
Wang Ping was also observing Yu Zuo. The Artifact Cultivator struck him as domineering and arrogant, his eyes looking as if they were about to devour someone.
Yu Zuo came to a stop before Xiao Shan Lord and silently cupped his fist in salute, saying nothing.
"Go do what you must!"
Xiao Shan Lord commanded.
