With one draught, mountains and rivers filled my embrace; beneath the boundless heavens, I reigned supreme

Shi Hao had been thoroughly enjoying the spectacle, finding Tuoba Chuan's ashen face hilarious, when he was suddenly called out. He inwardly groaned, What rotten luck.

Under everyone's puzzled gazes, he slowly stepped forward and raised a hand to greet Li Dao. "Senior Brother Li, you're out of seclusion! I went looking for you a few days ago, but unfortunately, you hadn't come out yet."
