Blood Sword quickly contacted Chief Councillor Zhou Yuanwu.
Whoosh—
The Holographic Projection condensed amid trembling particles, and Zhou Yuanwu stood in the center of the light screen with his hands behind his back.
His features were as sharply chiseled as if carved by blade and axe, his dark robes fluttering without wind. Even as a mere projection, he made the air seem to freeze.
