A streak of light shot out from the area and an illusionary figure appeared before everyone.
Dressed in royal dragon robes, adorned with his crown and jewels, Wuhan's towering figure looked down on everyone as if they were ants.
By that moment, everyone was on their feet, bowing to the emperor in unison. Only a few people among the crowd did not show any signs of bowing.
Zhang Ying and Hong Mei were two of these people.
"To take time out of your busy schedule just to come to this small gathering, I wonder if Sect Leader Hong is looking for something?"
"Gathering geniuses of this scale, of course, our Alchemy Pavilion had to come check them out." Without backing down, the woman replied to Wuhan, the grin on her face evidence that she didn't have good intentions.
"But to think that Alchemy Pavilion believes that I am a shady emperor." Wuhan chuckled and waved his hands in dismissal before his eyes suddenly narrowed at Zhang Ying beside her.
