Qiankun Sect, Main Peak Grand Hall.
This grand hall was the most magnificent structure in the Qiankun Sect. Ordinarily, it was opened only when the Sect Master summoned the core leadership.

The man on the left wore a blood-red robe. His face was sinister, his blood-colored hair draped over his shoulders, and a faint bloody aura coiled around him. He was Blood Nether Son, the former master of the Blood Nether Palace.
A veteran Lower-level Earthly Supreme, he had been famous for centuries and was notorious throughout the Qiankun Continent.
The man on the right was built like a mountain, his skin bronze-colored and his muscles knotted, as if every inch of flesh contained explosive
