The Vine Ancestor charged straight in, entering the Human Emperor Banner.
"You really came?" Qin Luo had not expected this fellow to be so decisive. He had not even needed to lure him much, yet he had simply waltzed right in.

"You're amazing!" Qin Luo could not help giving him a thumbs-up.
The reason he mentioned Villain Points was because Qin Luo's Mandate Value was gone, completely empty!
