At the mention of Ye Wuchen, a trace of wariness appeared on Xia Guang's face.
Ye Wuchen was the Holy Son of the Profound Heaven Demon Sect.
He had once visited Jianmu Sacred Ground.
His bearing had been dazzling. With his seventh-tier cultivation, his aura alone could suppress Demon Race cultivators of the same tier.

The Thousand Mechanisms Demon Sect dared not offer a word of objection, much less voice even half a complaint.
Though it was humiliating, Southern Shu's other sects deeply understood
