In Hongku's courtyard, a pot of clear wine sat on the stone table, with two cups placed opposite each other.

Beside the table, a little color had returned to Hongku's gaunt cheeks.

An ugly-faced man in a green robe sat nearby. His face was not blue as indigo, his hair was not red as cinnabar, his eyes did not bulge fiercely, and tusks did not jut from his mouth as in the Technique Within the Clouds, but he bore some resemblance to that figure. He looked nothing like a normal person, but rather like an evil ghost.

Zhang Xuezhou had to say, this was the ugliest great cultivator he had seen since making his debut.

Even a tiger-headed demon like the Tiger Strength Demon King looked pleasing to the eye by comparison.

Even though Zhang Xuezhou was broad-minded and had mentally prepared himself to assassinate Hongku before coming to the courtyard, doing his best to ignore external factors, the man's ugly face still gave him a fright.

"You bastard, what are you staring at? Hurry up and greet him!" Hongku cursed.

"It seems my appearance frightened him!"

The ugly-faced man in green waved a hand.

Even when he mingled with demons, he frightened them, let alone when he interacted with humans.

By human standards of beauty, his appearance was enough to give people a fair fright.

The young man before him had evidently been struck by his looks and given a scare.

"Venerable, you look exactly like that senior in the inheritance of the Technique Within the Clouds!"

Hongku's rebuke brought Zhang Xuezhou back to his senses.

He tried hard to recall the ugly-faced man from the Technique Within the Clouds, whose appearance was even uglier than Venerable Lei's.

One only had to compare the two for Venerable Lei's looks
