Chen Sheng had long since foreseen the arrival of the expert from the Vast Sea Sect, having glimpsed the future through the Celestial Book's power of Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil.
Originally, he had no desire to confront a bona fide Pill Realm Grandmaster head-on.
However, a prompt from the Celestial Book had made him change his mind.
The Celestial Book's message was clear.
The Nie Family had dispatched someone: Patriarch Nie's own sister, a genuine Pill Realm expert.
Furthermore, besides providing him with backing, her visit was also a covert assessment.
If he cowered and refused to show himself, it would greatly diminish her impression of him.
That was precisely why Chen Sheng had appeared with such composure.
And it was because of this foreknowledge, this confidence, that he could remain composed even when facing the might of a Pill Realm Grandmaster.
