At this moment,
beneath the crimson, eerie moonlight,
Handsome Scholar stood at the center of the open ground, dressed in a simple yet refined robe, surrounded by an otherworldly aura.
Although, fifty meters away, the Blood Moon Believers were already swarming toward him like a dense tide,
some clutching bizarre totems, others gripping staffs imbued with ominous power,
none of it seemed to stir the slightest ripple in Su Wen's heart.
His expression was calm and profound, with only a faint, indifferent smile at the corner of his lips.
Of course,

His gaze merely passed through the layers of figures before settling upon the one standing at the very center of the crowd:

Su Wen merely smiled with disdainful elegance, as though he did not care in the least about Ignaratty's fury.
His words
