Sickening Material Pleasures

Huang Ji landed on the ground unharmed. Once the force Zuo Men had used to escort him vanished, the immense atmospheric pressure bore down on his entire body.

He stood on the shore of a dark ocean. The sea wind blowing into his face was so powerful that it knocked him off his feet.
