Lin Wuyou nodded woodenly. "That's right! Though I don't know what happened, judging by that Nascent Soul's appearance, it was definitely not the Demon Shadow Palace's most mysterious Venerable Lord."
Su Shi'er's eyes spun as he blurted out, "Huangfu Jingtao? The Demon Shadow Palace's sect master and its original founder?"
