The moment he arrived at the True Spirit Sect, Lü Zhong headed for the True Spirit Hall, intending to pay Shuini a visit. However, the sound of a conversation carried on the wind caused his brow to furrow.

The voice had a strange cadence, not like that of an ordinary person.
Lü Zhong walked in calmly, taking in the entire scene. He could see a stooped figure facing Shuini, who stood on the main platform.
