Only... in the Minister's Residence courtyard.
They looked at the thousand-zhang-tall beast.
Master Xu.
Zeng Shilin.
Qin Shouchang.
All three wore strange smiles.
No, mocking smiles.
The three of them raised their heads at the same time and stared at the thousand-zhang shadow.
Seeing their smiles,
Xiangliu, who had already revealed his true form in the air, narrowed both his eyes.
