Han Shanzi, Luo Zuo, and the other Void Annihilation Society Quasi-Saints saw who had arrived, and their pupils contracted as their momentum inexplicably weakened by three parts.
The newcomer was not only the eldest Senior Sister of the Qingyun lineage, of exalted status, but her cultivation had already entered the Seven-Ring Land. Her prowess in battle was famed throughout the Ruined Void.
