He had arrived.
He had come riding auspicious clouds with his subordinates.
However, he remained as mysterious as ever, his ranks impossible to make out clearly.
Since no one had seen him before, why were they certain it was the Demon Emperor? Because the young men following behind him were all his adopted sons, each one a champion of a major star system's main tournament.

Of course.
Jun Changxiao was not afraid
