Upon encountering the gaze of President Xuanyuan Wuji, the Lord of Demon City—elfin and innocent—the leader of Heiyao Country, the blue-clad man Yan Lie, became distinctly unsettled.
Yan Lie, already agitated to the point of abnormality, pondered why they were terrified to the point of... "soul not attaching to the body and nearly soul-shattering," he mused.
Nevertheless, Yan Lie was still capable of rational thought. He first glanced at the few guests still dining in the hall, then with a furrowed brow, gestured towards the stairs and said, "Let's go upstairs to talk."
As soon as Yan Lie spoke, the subordinates of Heiyao Country who were sitting elsewhere with various gloomy expressions... all adopted a listless demeanor as if it were the end of the world, looking entirely spiritless as if a soul or spirit had been suddenly sapped from them... a picture of decadence.
