Under Li Huowang's gaze, a carriage approached from the distant intersection.
The sound of carriage bells drifted on the faint wind as the luxurious vehicle arrived, seeming to glide on the breeze.
Eight sleek, glossy chestnut horses pulled the carriage with a steady, elegant gait. A single glance at the steeds was enough to know their owner was no ordinary person.
When he saw Xuan Pin lift the carriage curtain, Li Huowang's heart leaped with joy. He immediately released his grip on his sword hilt and bounded onto the carriage in a few quick steps.
But when he saw the other person inside, Li Huowang's face instantly turned cold. The carriage held not only Xuan Pin of the Great Liang Sky Observatory, but also Gao Zhijian, the Emperor of Da Liang.
"Sit." Xuan Pin pulled Li Huowang, urging him to sit down.
Observing the tense standoff between the two men, Xuan Pin leaned back and vanished from the carriage canopy without a word.
